You are always an inspiration!

But, I really liked your wreath card that you made a little while ago with all the metallic papers…..using the new leaf punch. That was a very pretty card…….so elegant yet a simple design. So, I guess what it boils down to is what effect you are going for in your design.

  104. I use a lot of silver in my holiday cards because I like the cool, chilly look and feel of it — like frozen ice. It is a perfect compliment to all of the colors I use for winter, snowy cards. That being said, you can’t do much better than gold embellishments on traditional Christmas cards. For autumn, of course, I can’t get enough copper. I rarely use all three together, but I am crazed for shimmer and gleam! the new champagne paper has also caught my eye. oh dear!

Goes so well with most any color. Love it with the white doilies like to give them a bit of a “crushed” look and then combine with the Silver cutout or whatever design I use them in. My most favorite Christmas design is pretty much anything that has Snowmen and Candles in them, love the look of the candles in the Merry set. Have a wonderful day and thank you for the opportunity to win.

  155. I love the mix of bling. I use silver if I want a “snowy” effect. I use copper with browns for a masculine card.

  156. I think silver always looks great with winter-themed cards, pages, etc. It’s just a beautiful look!

  157. When I think of winter , of course a good deep clean snow comes to mind. Silver is most complementary; silver gives snow a dazzling bling for winter cards.

  158. Although I have always used gold or silver in my winter cards, I have been enjoying mixing the metallics this year and it has been fun.

  159. I love the new Champagne Foil in the holiday catalog. It creates a nice warm glow and reminds me of a dimmed room lit only by the tree lights. I also love the copper metallic thread and the copper bakers twine from the September Paper Pumpkin. Plus copper is so trendy right now too!

  160. I love all three of them! I like to use silver with blues for winter themed cards and scrapbook pages. I will use gold with red and green for Christmas themed items. Copper would be good for Fall themes I think, but putting the 3 metals together is beautiful in a winter/holiday scene. It’s hard to pick a favorite when they are so very pretty!

  161. I like them all, however, I just ordered the champagne and am excited to see what that is like!
    Thanks for all of your beautiful ideas!

  163. I have never tried the copper, I do like the look of it. I bounce between silver and gold but I think silver is my fave!!

  164. I’ve been using a lot of copper on my Fall cards lately, but for the winter holiday season, I have to go with silver. It mimics the frost patterns that appear on my windows during the deep freeze that is winter here.

  168. While the combo of the 3 is beautiful, I like to use silver for winter & Christmas cards. It adds the perfect touch of sparkle & shine with snowy scenes. It really adds a look of elegance. Thank you for this opportunity.

  173. I really like using copper in my autum cards, but for Christmas cards gold is my favorite. I like the traditional red and green and the way they look with gold. Additionally, gold is what the three Wisemen had along with their gifts of franklinsin and myrrh. So gold is my go to for Christmas cards. Enjoy your blog, and look forward to it each day,

  174. I love all the foils for the holiday sonpicking one is difficult. Silver is stunning with soft blues and pinks, gold just calls for neutrals. Bronze if you want an ‘earthy’ tone. So my love is for all, depending on what I am working on. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas.

  175. Your card is beautiful. As for the metal I would choose, it would have to be gold. I do like copper and silver but I feel gold gives an even more elegant look to the holiday cards.
    Thank you so much for the giveaway.

  176. Good Morning Mary, I would have to say bronze is my favorite at this time. I think another wonderful color to have some embossing powder in would be Rose Pink!

  178. It depends on whether I’m working in blues for snowflakes or a winter theme, then I love silver. If it is a more traditional Christmas theme then I like gold. I love copper for fall themes. I guess you could say I like them all.
