12 Mondays of Christmas Cards Week 6 with Brightly Gleaming

 Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my 12 Mondays of Christmas Cards post. It has been so fun to celebrate the road to the holidays with festive cards. Today my project also is for the Paper Player's card sketch challenge. It's prefect because the theme is the holidays.

The Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Paper is just beautiful! I wanted to have minimal stamping on this project, so the DSP was able to be the star. 

The Christmas Gleaming Stamp set and Coordinating Ornament Punch helps to create a beautiful greeting. The ornaments in the stamp set are so intricate and stunning. 

It was fun creating this card for the PP517 Hooray for the Holidays challenge. There are so many wonderful cards to see, so be sure to check them out at the Paper Players blog.

I recently posted my monthly Sketch challenge for you to participate in for a chance to win the Dandy Garden DSP that is in the upcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Be sure to check out my post and get your stampin' on!

Make it Monday with Simple yet Stunning Ornaments

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the new week of stamping fun! I'm glad you stopped in. I love the Brightly Gleaming Variety Bundle by Stampin' Up! When you order the Variety Bundle, you get the stamp set, the coordinating punches, and the specialty designer series paper. This way of purchasing with a 10% discount has never been done before. It's so awesome!

One of the things I love is designer series papers. The Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series paper is so rich and stunning. I love to mix and match the patterns as well. 

• The Mossy Meadow layer is cut at 3 3/4" x 5"
• All the DSP strips are cut at 1 3/4" wide
• The bottom strip is cut at 3 1/2" wide
• The two other DSP strips are 3" long

I absolutely love the Cinnamon Cider color on this card! It mimics the copper foil richness. The copper ribbon from the Basket weave Ribbon Combo Pack is just stunning!

Do you think my project is stunning? Let me know. Thanks so much for joining me today. Be sure to check out a recent post on a chance to win a bundle. I love when I do a monthly sketch challenge for prizes.
