Christmas Gleaming Boughs of Holly Cards
The ornaments in the Brightly Gleaming suite as so pretty and elegant! For the first time ever, Stampin' Up! is offering a pair of full-size punches to help making cutting out those ornaments quick and easy! I used the pair to punch out a couple of cool ornaments from the coordinating Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper on these two cards. This is one of the three card styles that is featured in my Christmas Gleaming Countdown To Christmas kit!
Background Basics—I started with a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of the Pretty Peacock Brightly Gleaming DSP, layered onto a Pretty Peacock card base. TIP: Since it's such a large piece of DSP, I like to die-cut some shapes out of the middle for use on another project!
Sweet Sentiment—I added a 3-3/4" x 1/2" strip of striped Brightly Gleaming DSP across a 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" Very Vanilla piece. Next, I stamped the Christmas Gleaming sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink just above the stripes and mounted it onto a 3-7/8" x 2-7/8" piece of Old Olive cardstock.
Elegant Ornaments—I punched out the large and small ornaments from Brightly Gleaming DSP with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack. Next, I did a little creative punching! I punched the small ornament top from Copper Foil and adhered that with SNAIL. I also punched the Copper Foil strip with the center of the large ornament punch, then embossed it with the Stylish Scroll folder and added it across the middle with SNAIL. That large ornament is popped up with Dimensionals.
Holly Leaves—I stamped the Christmas Gleaming holly leaves image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Very Vanilla. It's colored with Old Olive, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends Markers, then hand-cut and popped up onto the ornaments. So pretty!
Finishing Touches—I finished with a single Star Designer Element for another pop of Copper! If you get the class kit, you'll get a half pack of these cute stars that you'll be able to use on other projects, too!
Bundle It & SAVE—Purchase the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack in a Bundle to save 10%.
Two Cool—The second card starts with an Old Olive Brightly Gleaming DSP pattern on an Old Olive card base. I changed the orientation to vertical (but I think I like the horizontal better for this style!).
The sentiment is stamped in the lower right corner with Old Olive ink and the layer is mounted onto Pretty Peacock.
The ornaments are basically the same as the first card. I used a different pattern for the small ornament and positioned them a little differently with the vertical focal point.

Angie! These are without a doubt The most beautiful “cahds” I have seen w/the Brightly Gleaming DSP!!! Love them!
With the card kit, do you supply only the card stock pieces and I cut the DSP pieces from my sheets, or do you supply everything (including punched or cut DSP) and I also get 6 sheets of DSP? In other words, do I have to buy the punch set if I don’t have it ??
Hi Alta! Thanks for your interest in the Christmas Gleaming class kit! You will receive 12 6″ x 12″ pieces of Designer Series Paper (a 1/2 pack cut down for easier shipping). I will supply the pre-cut & die-cut cardstock pieces. I do not pre-cut the Designer Paper, but I’ll provide measurements, so you can select the patterns you like best and cut them easily. If you decide not to purchase the punches, you can simply stamp on the back of your favorite Designer Papers and cut out the shapes. The only time I’ll be cutting the Designer Paper is for the Cards Only Kits, because they do not receive the 1/2 pack of Designer Paper in their class kit. Hope that clarifies it…let me know if you have additional questions.
