A glittery Merry & Bright Christmas Card is another showcase of the Bright Baubles Bundle from the soon-to-be-retired 2021 Holiday Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up!

BRIGHT BAUBLES CLING STAMP SET
Stamp bright and beautiful Christmas baubles with the Bright Baubles Stamp Set. The delicate line images are bold enough to be used on their own, stamped in just ink, or heat embossed.

You can also stamp them on your annual Christmas cards. The greetings are designed so you can mix and match and customize the sentiments for all your Christmas projects.

Create opulent ornaments for cards or tags with the Delicate Baubles Dies. The dies cut out full ornament shapes and delicate overlays to create more detailed ornaments.

I created one gift card on my Facebook Live yesterday – but am sharing two today. They both feature the Bright Baubles bundle – and are gift card holders! I know I sure use a lot of gift card holders this time of year and hopefully this will give you an idea for a quick and easy gift card holder – and they fit in a regular size envelope, so they can be mailed!
Both cards feature the retired Be Dazzling Specialty Paper – I have some extra packets and am offering an ordering incentive for this week – while my supply lasts! We all loved this paper – and it sold out during Saleabration – but I have some extras to share!

You can click below to watch how to assemble the gift card holders!

On my Night of Navy card, I used the “new to me” Star Crossed embossing folder – it’s so cool! I had overlooked it in our Mini Catalog but am glad that I discovered it recently! It embosses both a checkered pattern and a star pattern. Love it!
Quick Measurement for the Gift Card base is 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2 and 9.
