Brightly Gleaming

Christmas Preparations 

Yes, Christmas is coming - and it's much closer than you think. There is about 11 weeks till the special day. Oh dear, how quickly the year is going.

As a paper crafter, one needs to start preparing early for Christmas - making cards to share blessing and love with family and friends.  I thought I would share some of my cards with you over the coming weeks.  I had been hoping to participate in the Art with Heart team “Heart of Christmas 2019” blog hop. However, as a blog hopping novice, I haven't worked out all the steps as yet and have had a number of false starts (eg loosing a few drafts of this post - without even trying). Let's hope I'll be in the blog hop next week. Keep an eye out.

This card is using the gorgeous Brightly Gleaming suite by Stampin Up which can be found in their current 2019 Holiday Catalogue on pigs 30 - 32. To make this card, I used the Christmas Gleaming stamp set, the Gleaming Ornaments punch pack, the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and the new Delicata Celestial Copper ink. These items were complimented with a greeting from the "Merry Christmas To All" stamp set, a strip of copper foil and Very Vanilla cardstock that are all contained in the 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue.

The lovely Claire Daly hosted the Heart of Christmas 2019 blog hop this week – to check out the team’s creations for this week you can visit Claire’s page by clicking here. 

I'll be back next week on Wednesday evening with another card creation to share. Have a great week.
