Merry Christmas Gleaming Card – Pals Blog Hop!

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created projects showing “My Favorite Things” from any of the two current catalogs or the upcoming catalog in January. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I am thrilled to be participating in this month’s blog hop! The theme is “My Favorite Things”, and this card features some of my favorite Christmas supplies. The beautiful Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper and the gorgeous Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set can be used to create many quick and simple cards. Add the awesome Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack and you are well on your way to making a lot of easy cards!

Punch

• Use the Gleaming Ornaments Punch pack to punch two small ornaments out of the Brightly Gleaming DSP. Punch the large one out of the stamped Copper Foil.

Emboss

Assemble
