~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have some BEAUTIFUL, new Christmas papers in the NEW Holiday Expressions book & today I chose to use the Silver & Gold paper collection in this card.  

Take a look....

I used the coordinating stamp set to create this card -  Silver & Gold - Cardmaking & I was excited how it turned out.  Let's take a look at this BEAUTIFUL paper pack & stamp set below. 

The Silver & Gold paper pack is a bit different than our other collections.  Included in this paper pack are 2 each of 5 double-sided paper designs PLUS 2 each of 2 single-sided GOLD FOIL designs.  (the hearts & stripes are gold foil). 

The Silver & Gold Coordinating Cardstock pack, includes a special "EXTRA" too!!  There are still 12 sheets of paper/cardstock in this pack.....HOWEVER, with the Silver & Gold - you are getting 9 sheets of Cardstock PLUS 3 sheets of Gold Glitter paper! :) 

The Silver & Gold Stamp set, is a BEAUTIFUL one!  One of my FAVORITE things about this stamp set, is that it has a COORDINATING set of "Thin Cuts" (our metal dies).  This makes it SO EASY to create a card AND....I always cut extra shapes & return them to my stamp envelope to that they will be ready to use for a future card I may need to create. :) 

As I thought more about this card, I decided I was going to pull out my heat embossing supplies to create this card.

If you look at the stamp set, you'll notice that the string & the bow are stamped images!!  I also added one of our NEW gold & white pearls to the top of the ornament....so FUN!! 

After creating these ornaments, I wanted to use MORE of the stamps that were included in this stamp set.....but I wasn't sure how to do that at first. 

THEN - I decided to create my own dotted background & to also create some of my own designer paper, by stamping the word "Christmas" multiple times.  

The beautiful GOLD ribbon, in our Fundamentals Basics Ribbon collection, was the perfect touch to finish it off! 

I hope you enjoyed this card, and were INSPIRED today!! :) 

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Kathy's  Blog to see her beautiful creation!
