FANCY FOLD CARD WITH BRIGHTLY GLEAMING SUITE

I am finally getting around to sharing a few of the projects I have been working on using products from the Holiday Catalogue.

I really love the Brightly Gleaming Suite and decided to create a fancy Stepper Card with the beautiful papers and stamp set.

I found a basic template for the card base and then changed the dimensions slightly so that the finished card would measure 5" x 5" ensuring that it would then fit into one of the square envelopes that I already had in my stash.

I used the Delicata Gold Metallic Ink to do all my stamping using the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set and Co-ordinating Gleaming Ornaments Punch to stamp and punch out the Baubles.

Don't forget that you can purchase the stamp set and punches (2) as a bundle for $86.25 - a saving of 10% on the RRP.  You can also purchase the entire Brightly Gleaming suite of products for $169.25.

Some sprigs were punched with the Sprig Punch from Gold Glimmer paper and a bow of Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon was added to complete the card.

The colours used are Very Vanilla for the base card, Pretty Peacock for the second layer and the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.

SEPTEMBER CARD CLASS

Our projects created in this month's Card Class.

Our first card was using the Stitched Lace Die to create a beautiful lacey background for our pretty bunch of flowers to be placed onto.

We stamped flowers from the Pop of Petals stamp set in both the new Delicata Metallic Ink and Gorgeous Grape Ink and punched with the co-ordinating punch.

Add in some various punched leaves and you have a very pretty bouquet.

Finished off with a bow of the lovely Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and a sentiment of choice.

Can you see the lovely scalloped edges on the Lace Background piece.  This die set comes with a separate die that you can use to create these scalloped sides, or you can leave straight if you wish.

Our second project used some of the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper teamed with some Silver Foil and the Frosted Frames Dies to create this stunning.

Again, we have used the Silver Delicata Metal Ink to stamp our bauble and sentiment which is from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.

It is a little hard to tell from this photo but the background white piece has also been embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

The bauble was finished off with a bow (sort of).  This was simply created by cutting a small piece of the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon and tied in the middle with a small piece of White Twine.
