I love Christmas ornaments so Stampin' Up!'s Decorated with Happiness stamp set was top on my wish list. The Christmas stamp set features coordinating die cuts and both give a whimsical, more modern look to Christmas cards. I also love traditional Christmas colours. Evening Evergreen and Cherry Cobbler combine to give festive look.
I've created another Christmas card featuring the same Decorated with Happiness bundle. See it HERE. Both cards feature the same embossing folder, same Holiday bundle but due to the colours, give a completely different look.

Evening Evergreen and Cherry Cobbler combine perfectly for Christmas cards. These two colours are featured in the Stampin' Up! Lights Aglow 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. It is so popular it keeps selling out - if that is the case, I recommend embossing a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock with the same embossing folder as the white piece. The Whimsical Woodland 3D folder is a fun embossing folder - cute too!
I also used the Evening Evergreen plaid ribbon. It is a country look that suits the colours used in this card. Keep scrolling for the full instructions, including measurements, below.
