Brightly Gleaming Christmas cards, Stampin Up


So, this is my story and I'm sticking to it!   I had a few min before making dinner, so I decided I'd get some insides done on my Christmas cards.  I kind of promised myself I'd do that this year as I make the cards, but, ummmmm, I didn't. 

Sitting on my stamp desk was a card base with the Balmy blue and Night of Navy already attached, so I thought to myself, why not finish that one first.   Little did I know that card would lead to a 2nd card and I'd never get any insides done at all.

Here is the first card.  I love this paper in the Brightly Gleaming DSP set so much, I really haven't used it much at all, but it needs to be shown off.   I cut my deer out of copper foil, then decided that the paper was so busy, the tree needed to be solid, and what better way then just to punch out my tree. 

But when I punched out the tree, it was so pretty, it looked like a tree all decorated for Christmas , so I had to make a 2nd card, right? 


So, here is the 2nd card, Very Vanilla and Pretty Peacock.  The long strip is a piece cut off the paper I used on the 1st card, placed over a sightly larger piece of copper foil. I also cut a copper foil tree to add to my Brightly Gleaming tree, then added the Pretty Peacock Ribbon and sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas sentiment set.     I used the Rectangular stitched dies to cut that piece.    

I hope I was able to give you some ideas, thanks for stopping.
