The Brightly Gleaming bundle is a gorgeous suite of products with rich colors of Pretty Peacock, Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, and shiny copper. The best part about it for me is that it comes with punches instead of dies. I love punches! These are a few projects I made with this bundle. I cased them all from either the catalog or other talented stampers, credit given under the watermark.
This is a fairly quick card with the gorgeous foil accented paper doing most of the work. The ornament is first punched out from Copper foil, then embossed with the Tufted folder. The greeting comes from the Host set--Greatest Part of Christmas. I love this set and have used it on so many projects. The set is only $13, but you need to host a party or place a $150 order to be eligible to order it. It has great greetings for the inside of cards as well!
This card was cased from page 62 of the holiday catalog. I used Golden Glitz Delicata ink for the holly images. I stamped the ornament in Night of Navy ink and colored it with Shaded Spruce Stampin' blends, both the light and dark color. The twine came from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.
This card has a similar feel to the previous card with glitter enamel dots, a bow, and a colored ornament. I used the Real Red Blends combo, along with a little bit of Dark Cherry Cobbler along the edges. The bow is tied from Linen thread. I colored the top of the ornament with Gold Wink of Stella, which is retired now, but you could use the Delicata ink and a blender pen as well.
This card was also cased from the catalog, although I modified it since I didn't have the Stitched Star dies. I just glued the star from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements to a vanilla piece of cardstock, then cut it out. I embossed the holly image with copper embossing powder on both Old Olive cardstock Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut out the vanilla berries and clued them on top of the Old Olive piece.
Last but not least, some pretty tags. The one on the left was cased from Kitchen Table Stamper. I should have masked the "&" sign, but I didn't think of it until later. The tag on the left was inspired by one of the cards on p. 30 of the Holiday catalog. I just took an element of the card and turned it into a tag.
This is a gorgeous suite of products; you really can't go wrong in whatever way you combine them together. Grab your suite today and have fun creating!
