Third Thursdays Blog Hop - 2019 Holiday Catalog

Welcome once again to our Third Thursdays Blog Hop! This month, our theme for the hop is Holiday Catalog Goodies. Everyone on the hop will be featuring projects using the fabulous products featured in this catalog. So many beautiful goodies for fall and winter occasions, it really is one of my favorite times of the Stampin’ Up!® year!  
Today, I am featuring a “fancy fold” card using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and coordinating Gleaming Ornaments punches. I also used other coordinating products in this suite including the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP, the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements and the 1/2” Classic Weave Ribbon. I just love the colors in this suite, especially with copper foil accents. They are a little more non-traditional but so elegant at the same time. 

I may have mentioned before how much I LOVE stamp sets that have coordinating punches. So easy to use, especially if you are cranking out a whole bunch of holiday cards. The stamp set and punches can be purchased separately, or you can get them together in the Christmas Gleaming Bundle and save an extra 10%. 

Featured Colors:


This style of card is called a Gate Fold and it is really easy to make, yet still has that wow factor. The “belly band” simply slides on and off which makes it a little more interactive, which I think is really fun. Measurements for this card are listed below along with the full supply list. 
With all of those copper accents in the DSP and ribbon, I decided to heat emboss the ornaments and sentiment is Copper Embossing Powder. Metallic embossing powder is so beautiful and the added texture and shine really step up the stamping quite a bit. 
Once I added the ornaments and the sentiment to the oval, I popped a single little pearl on one of the ornaments to dress it up. Still, I felt like it needed just “one more thing” (famous last words in crafting) and finally decided on the little leaf accent from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements. I trimmed the leafy accent down so it wasn’t too much and I like how it just filled the space a bit. 

Card Measurements: 

  • Night of Navy Card Base - 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”
  • On 8-1/2” side, score at 2-1/8” and 6-3/8” 
  • Pretty Peacock Cardstock - 2” x 5-3/8” (2 pieces)
  • Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper - 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” (2 pieces)
  • Night of Navy Cardstock (for “belly band”) - 1-1/2” x 9” 
  • On 9” side, score at 2-3/8” and 6-3/4” 
  • Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper - 1-1/8” x 9” 
  • Scraps of Copper Foil, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock and Very Vanilla Cardstock for stamping, punches and die cuts
  • Very Vanilla (inside card) - 4” x 5-1/4” 
  • Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper (inside card) - 1” x 5-1/4”  

Here is a peek inside the card. I added more of that beautiful Brightly Gleaming DSP and embossed the sentiment in copper to compliment the embossing on the front of the card. The sentiment is from the Greatest Part of Christmas stamp set, which is set that can only be purchased with Host Rewards. (earned with a minimum $150 order or party)
