Gold Wonderland Christmas Card

I’ve already told you that I’m totally anti-Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. However, since I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, it has come naturally that I alter my ways slightly because preparing for holiday cards and projects is best done before December. I don’t know about you, but if I wait to make my cards until December, it just won’t happen. Plus I need to inspire all of you in time for you to get the necessary materials and make your own projects, right?

So between now and Christmas,  you will be seeing a LOT of Christmas projects on my blog. There will be plenty of fall and general projects as well, but lots of Christmas. Since I got the new holiday catalog and my preorder sampling of products arrived, I just want to use it all up! Right now! These products are so beautiful I can’t even describe them. In just a few days you will be able to see them all for yourself!

Today’s Gold Wonderland Christmas card is a classy winter scene. I love the combination of the very vanilla cardstock, gold foil and gold embossing.

The vellum I used in the background came from our new Winter Wonderland designer vellum stack. It is AMAZING. When I first flipped through it, I absolutely loved the designs and colors. Then I realized that the vellum that has gold designs on one side, has the same design in silver if you flip to the opposite side. Oh my goodness I love it even more now!

The gold foil doily (new in our 2015-2016 annual catalog) made a great accent under the greeting. The greeting came from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set.
