Brightly Gleaming #ShopYourCraftStash

Hello Stampers ~ I used new paper with a retired set for my Brightly Gleaming #ShopYourCraftStash creation.

I spent yesterday morning cleaning my floors and then sewing in the afternoon.  I managed to get two things crossed off my list and another one well on it’s way.  Today we are going to Mumfest in the morning and I have a friend coming to visit and see the house this afternoon.  After that I will spend some time reading my book and working on Michaela’s baby blankets.  I am behind in both of those.  The book is the most important as the book club is meeting on Monday evening and I still have 137 pages to finish before the meeting.  I can do it as long as I have the time.

I am enjoying the #ShopYourCraftStash series and I hope you are also.  I love being able to use my retired product.  I also love combining a new product with a retired one as it allows me to play with new things.  For today’s card I combined the new Brightly Gleaming designer series paper with a retired stamp set.  I began with a Night of Navy card base and embossed the front of the card base using the Subtle embossing folder.  A piece of the Brightly Gleaming dsp was attached to the card front using Tear & Tape.  The sentiment comes from Timeless Tidings  and was stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla using Night of Navy ink.  The layering ovals were used to cut it out.  A scrap of Copper Foil was used and a larger layering oval was cut out.  The two ovals were layered using Tear & Tape.  To finish the card the sentiment was attached to the card front using dimensionals.  Here is the completed Brightly Gleaming #ShopYourCraftStash creation.

This paper makes beautiful Christmas cards.  Here is another idea where the paper takes center stage.  Want an idea for a Fall card?  Check out the Brightly Gleaming Thinking of You creation for a great idea.
