Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. Today’s card is a Brightly Gleaming Christmas Card. It is actually a beautiful card that I made last year. It was in my stash of Christmas stamps from last year’s holiday catalog. Brightly Gleaming is actually a carry over stamp set that was so popular last year that both the stamp set and the patterned paper sold out.

A Question for You

I am curious. For some reason I never go back to a stamp set that has carried over from the year before. Does that make me fickle? Do you have the same thing? For me I play with a stamp set a lot, I use all the patterned paper and then I am done with it. Maybe it is different when you are a demonstrator and you want to showcase new products to get people excited. I decided it was time for me to show you this forgotten stamp set because it really is lovely. My favourite stamp in this set is the gorgeous holly leaves and berries. Take a look.

Brightly Gleaming Christmas Card

Here is my brightly gleaming Christmas card. It does use copper foil paper which is now retired but everything else on this card is current. The beautiful brushed metallic cardstock would look fantastic on this card so don’t worry, you can still recreate this beauty.

The holly berries and leaves are perfect for colouring with Blends. I used Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler as well as a bit of Wink of Stella on the berries. If you want to see more cards made with this bundle check out this blog post.

Great card Jackie. The Copper Foil is not retired the Copper Embossing Powder is. So you are okay. Thanks for giving inspiration to your readers.

  That’s wonderful news, for some reason I didn’t see it in the catalog, thanks for letting me know.

Which embossing folder did you use on the foil? I love the card. I don’t think I will use the copper foil because I have had trouble cutting it. I made 5 passes through the big shot and the cut is still not clean and the places that did cut there was a thin layer of plastic. It was like cling wrap. Did you had any problems?

  I always have a list of products that I used at the end of my blog, the folder was the last item on the list. It is called Hammered Metal. I didn’t have problems cutting the foil paper at all. Are you using the old BIg Shot or the new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine? I have removed that film backing from both glitter paper and foil paper in the past to help with that issue. Putting the paper upside down in the machine also helps.
