Yes, Virginia, you really CAN use pink for the holidays! Stampin' Up! Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper offers a vintage style and a colorful mix of Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Whisper White and Blushing Bride (pink). Bonus! Many of the patterns work for occasions beyond the winter holidays.
Today's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO214) calls for mixing a combination of shapes and elements. Feel free to be creative. I replaced the flower with an ornament. 
I embossed and layered the flagged ends. I used a Stampin' Up! 1 3/8" Square Punch to create the "flag." Watch my video tutorial to learn how.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
The ornament stamp from Tags Til Christmas gets a clean crop from the Stampin' Up! Ornament Punch. Love it! - Adding the coordinating Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap gives the pair a polished finish.
- Be sure to use plenty of adhesive and go to the edges of the flap so there won't be any "lift" from the flap. Watch my Envelope Envy Video Tutorial for more tips.
- The Blushing Bride Glimmer Brad is the perfect balance for the sentiment. It offers even more color and sparkle in the light.

Very nice, great colours.
That is such a fresh, pretty card! I love the brown that makes the pink and green pop so nicely.
You did it again! Simple and elegant as only you can!
Wow! This is awesome!
Love it! And it looks like it is mailable ( not too thick to require extra postage). Gotta try that layout. Thanks for sharing. Robin

Love your colors–beautiful card
Beautiful, Mary! Love the pink and green for Christmas!
Beautiful card. I just love that colour combo and that DSP pack. Must get into my craft room and use up my stash after I submit my own creation to Mojo Monday, of course! Hugs from Canberra, OZ.

I want this to be my Christmas card!! Love it!
Great card, Mary! Maybe this will be the kick I need to get going on the holiday cards :o( I’m still trying to enjoy the Fall colors but this color scheme is a good transition. TFS!
Wow… lovin’ the pink!hugs
Mary, love the colors and the fonts on the sentiment are fabulous!!
Such a beautiful card, Mary! Love the pink & green combo.
Gorgeous, Mary! These papers are fabulous…and so is this week’s Mojo sketch!
LOVE this card, Mary! You’re right about this paper being meant for more than Christmas. And another thing that I love about this paper pattern set is the stripe set on the diagonal! This card speaks to me, “make me …. I have five layers …. an odd number.” Sorry, I just have to have odds, LOL Hugs, C
I like that embossing folder with this card! It looks like poinsettias!!
Love your pink & green Christmas card, Mary! Makes my preppy heart go pitter patter. 🙂
I love pink! I just made my Christmas cards in Cherry Cobbler and Pink Pirouette. When I told my daughter, she was confused and thought I was getting a jump start on Valentine’s Day 🙂
WOW! That’s it. Just “WoW!!!”
Greens, pink & brown! Love it! Love that touch of plaid!
