I’ve been having a ton of fun creating with the Brightly Gleaming Suite that debuted in the 2019 Holiday Catalog.

It’s a favorite of mine because of the colors, the copper accenting, and the simplicity and ease of creating gorgeous cards and gifts. Gotta love punches! I shared three of these projects on my blog the morning of September 18 to pique your interest in joining me for my Facebook Live broadcast later that day. Hope it helped some of you to find me. ?

Then I shared how-to tips for those and several other creations that I made with this suite in that broadcast…my Wednesday, September 18th Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook. I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products lists below the photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are some measurements and the remainder of the close-up photos. Click here to see many other photos that I posted on the morning of the 18th.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

This was the first card I shared showing off the Hammered Metal Embossing folder and the copper printed ribbon.

Measurements…

• Night of Navy Cardstock
  • 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
• Very Vanilla Cardstock
  • 4″ x 5-1/4″ (for the inside layer)
  • 3″ x 2-3/4″
  • Scrap for stamping and punching large ornament
• Old Olive Cardstock
  • 3-1/8″ x 2-7/8″
  • Scrap for stamping and punching small ornament
• Copper Foil Sheet
  • 2-3/4″ x 4″

Then I shared how to assemble the ornament that I showed on my September 18th post. The one on the right is the one I already had assembled prior to the broadcast. The one on the left is the one I started building during in the video.

And here it is! There are two stamp images that match the larger ornament punch. This image gives it a bolder look.

And I created this one with Mint Macaron Cardstock on the base so it can be written on and used as a tag on a present.

I shared this super simple card towards the end of the video featuring the Pressed Petals Designer Paper which is part of the Buy 3, Get 1 Free Promotion (see below for details). Isn’t it awesome that the punches can be used in other ways? Here the larger ornament punch is a vase.

Measurements…

• Very Vanilla Cardstock
  • 7″ x 5″ scored at 3-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base (or a Very Vanilla Notecard)
• Pressed Petals Designer Paper
  • 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
• Copper Foil Sheet
  • Scrap for punching vase shape

This is another vase card. I CASEd the layout and idea from fellow demonstrator, Sue Nurnberger. Thanks Sue!
