Yesterday I shared some quick and easy cards with you using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and it’s coordinating punch. Today’s cards add an extra step making them what we called stepped up. They are still cards that you can make easily, but they do require a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine since they include Embossing Folders too.

This first card is a fun fold card. It uses our beautiful Copper Foil Sheets (142020) to bring out the copper highlights of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The foil has been run through the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646) for some added texture . The lovely sheer Pool Party Ribbon (152462) tops off the two punched ornaments. Open it and you have a lovely sentiment inside.

Love texture? This next card not only uses the same Hammered Metal Folder to add texture to the Copper Foil, it adds a lovely swirled background too.

The Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder (151474) was used to emboss the Sahara Sand background and the copper tone Star Designer Elements (150430) are used in the bottom corner tying all the copper elements on this card together.

So what do you think? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which style is your favorite? Yesterday’s quick and easy or today’s stepped up versions.
