Brightly Gleaming

Tis the Season to be Jolly

Yes my friends there are only there are only 13 days until Christmas, but there is still time to get some of your favorite Holiday sets before they are gone! My card today features the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle, which includes the stamp set, punch pack and designer series paper.

Begin with a Pretty Peacock card base and add a 4 x 5 ¼” layer of Very Vanilla cardstock.
From the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series paper punch two ornaments from the larger ornament in the Gleaming Ornament Punch pack and glue them to the right side of the card.
To create the copper top of the ornament, punch two tops from the Copper Foil Sheets using the larger ornament punch. Add some gold trim to each ornament.
Adhere a ½ x 5 ½” piece of the Gleaming Designer Series Paper along the bottom of the card.
Cut out a scalloped oval from Pretty Peacock using the Layering Oval Dies. Cut a coordinating oval from Very Vanilla cardstock and stamp the greeting in Pretty Peacock ink.

TIP #1: I masked off the “&” sign on the stamp, well not really, I forgot-hence the bling covering the “&” sign! LOL….So, add bling or mask it is totally up to you, but remember there are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities!

TIP #2: I colored my bling with the Bronze Stampin’ Blend alcohol marker. Now I realize that this bling might be retired, but when taking advantage of creative opportunities we have to use what is in our craft stash, Right???

And of ‘course let’s not neglect the inside!

Layer a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock onto the card base.
Stamp the greeting from Itty Bitty Christmas in Pretty Peacock ink.
Add another ornament punched from the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper.
Add a gold trim bow and you are ready for the Holidays!

I hope you all enjoyed today’s card creation and the added creative opportunity. Be bold and go create something beautiful to bless others with today!

If you would like to order any of these or other stamping supplies, I would appreciate your order. As a reminder the current host code is always available on my blog! Host Code: URBMWZNY

And I know we can all use a little “Holiday Peace” this year, so I hope this card provides just that!

This card was another inspiration from a St. Louis virtual stamping event that I made for a make and take presentation. We are hosting another virtual event in January so if you are interested in joining us, just drop me a comment below, include your email and I will be sure you get an invite.

This card features the Peace and Joy Bundle as well as the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper, which is a returning favorite from last year. I really like how they brought back some of the specialty papers this year and hope there will more favorite returns next year.

I started my card with Very Vanilla and I added a layer of Night of Navy that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the Tasteful Textile 3-D embossing folder. The “Peace” from the Peace and Joy bundle is cut using the Copper Foil sheets.

I love how it matches the copper design in the paper! The ornament is cut from the designer series paper pack using the larger ornament from the Gleaming Ornament Punch Pack. Wow! That is fun to say…….and even more fun to play with, so go ahead order your Gleaming Punch Pack today!

I cut a square of Very Vanilla using the largest square from the Stitched Shape Dies and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder. The accent square is cut from the Copper Foil sheets, 1/8″ bigger than the embossed square.

The pine cones, bough and inside greeting are from the Peaceful Boughs Bundle. I stamped the greeting in Night of Navy and added a bow with the linen thread to my dual pine cones on the outside and single one in the inside.

I just love this greeting, it might be my favorite Christmas sentiment for the inside of a card. What’s your favorite Christmas greeting, stamp set or bundle of all time?

Thank for stopping by! Hope you will join me back here tomorrow, until then Be Blessed!
Stamping Hugs and Blessings,
Renae
