Two Christmas Cards featuring the Brightly Gleaming Suite

An easy Christmas card to make using the Brightly Gleaming Suite and Beautiful Boughs dies

This is such a simple card but it ended up rather "busy".  However, there's always a place for a busy Christmas card.

The base card is Gray Granite to which I added a triangle of Pretty Peacock and then set about decorating.  I used elements cut with the Beautiful Boughs and Seasonal Layers dies as well as some Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements.  For a bit of extra sparkle, I added some Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

A variation of the Christmas card using the Brightly Gleaming Suite

Then I made another using the same methodology but reversed colours.  I placed circles of Gray Granite behind the copper baubles and added a few Star Designer Elements and a greeting cut from the Classic Weave Ribbon.

My aim was to make use of the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements that I purchased as part of the Brightly Gleaming Suite Bundle.  There's a very generous amount of elements in the pack!

Copper Cobbler Christmas Gleaming

Another Christmas card in my mix and match Christmas Gleaming series

Here is another card that uses up leftovers!  I find that using the Stitched Rectangles to cut layers gives me lots of mix and match opportunities and there's very little waste!

For more details on the methodology, please see my previous few posts that feature other cards in this series.

Peacock Christmas Gleaming

An elegant, rich Christmas card that uses up leftovers!

Today's card uses up some leftovers from this card.  

I added a layer of Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper to the Pretty Peacock base card followed by a small Very Vanilla rectangle with a Copper Foil Sheet frame placed on top.

The bauble was a leftover from a previous card and was stamped with Celestial Copper metallic ink.  The holly was copper heat embossed onto Very Vanilla cardstock and then I watercoloured it with  Pretty Peacock and Cherry Cobbler ink.

Thank you for visiting.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Christmas - Olive Christmas Gleaming

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer (The Crafty Thinker) from Australia.

Our theme this month is to provide inspiration for Christmas projects and mine is really simple and easy to replicate for bulk lots of cards ... and the leftovers can be used to make another elegant design of card (see my next post, on 17 November, to see that card!).  

A simple and easy to bulk produce Christmas card featuring lush copper and the Brightly Gleaming Suite

The holly is copper heat embossed on Very Vanilla cardstock and then hand cut.

The layers of Very Vanilla, Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and Copper Foil Sheet are all cut with Stitched Rectangles dies.  The greeting is a segment of the Classic Weave Ribbon that's part of the Brightly Gleaming Suite of products.

TIP:  Use Stitched Rectangle dies to cut the centres from each of the layers and save the resulting rectangles and frames for use in another project.

The copper creates a beautiful rich, warm shimmer in this Christmas card
