This is my first Christmas Gleaming card of the season. Demonstrators are allowed to preorder items in August from the upcoming 2019 Holiday catalog. You could too if you were to join me in being a demonstrator. Contact me, sue@soggystamper.com, or click here for more information.

I created this first Christmas Gleaming card using the Christmas Gleaming bundle which is a stamp set and two ornament punches. Yes two! I punched the ornaments from three patterns of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is so gorgeous! One side of papers has copper foil accents. I stamped the tops of the ornaments on copper foil sheet scraps and punched them out. Then I glued them to the tops of the ornaments.

The base of this card is an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I used the edge trim from the Magnolia Memory Dies to cut and emboss the bottom edge of a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Copper Foil Sheets and adhered it to the card base. I used the same die on a 5″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I embossed it with the Tufted embossing folder.

To complete this Christmas Gleaming card, I adhered the ornaments with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I stamped the greeting on Very Vanilla cardstock with Mossy Meadow ink and cut it out by hand. I popped this greeting up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well. Since the card base is dark, I added a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Very Vanilla to the inside.
