Love your ideas.

I love using silver for the winter holidays. I reminds me of snow.
I usually go to silver first, but like the look of all metals.
Gold is my first go-to metal, but it depends on what I am making as to which one I will use.
Gold usually but this year it’s SILVER. that I’ve been accenting with Night of Navy and Razzleberry Ripple for my Christmas cards and tags.
I love silver combined with very vanilla card stock. I have had friends hang my cards on their Christmas trees because they liked the silver highlights on the card.
Thanks for offering such scrumptious blog candy—love your blog!

I love mixing up the different foil colors as well as their matching ribbons. Just starting to play with the new champagne foil-also beautiful with silver!

Gold is my preference! Both in jewelry and in card making!
Given the season, I’m currently using a lot of copper. But gold and silver are right around the corner. Thanks for all your inspiration, Mary.
I LIKE THEM ALL AND USE THEM ALL. BUT I USE THEM ALL THE TIME, NOT JUST AT THE HOLIDAYS. THE GLITTER CARDSTOCK ALSO. THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.
For winter, my favorite metal is silver. It goes so well with many shades of blue. But if you are talking Christmas; that is a different story! Definitely gold for Christmas! Looks regal and celebratory with deep greens and reds.

I love using silver for my Christmas cards but I am loving the new Champagne color!!
Silver is usually my choice but I think it’s because I’ve been allergic to every type of metal EXCEPT platinum, since I was a young child, lol.
I think Christmastime is definitely the only time of year that metallic colors can be used to your hearts content! But then again, you can’t go wrong with anything shiny on a card throughout the year!
I love using mixed metals for a real wow factor. Thanks for the chance to win.
I sure enjoy gold, silver and copper when making my Christmas cards. I feel if you do it right each one can make the recipient of the card feel the Christmas wishes!

I like to use Gold it is so rich looking. I almost always use gold on my holiday cards either in glitter paper or ink
Well, it would have to be gold AND silver. They are just as great together, as separately. I use them frequently in my holiday cards because I love the sparkle and shine of those colors.
I love silver with soft blue. I reminds me of a silent snowy night; soft and light.
I like to use silver.
Gold
it all depends on the accent colors, but I often prefer silver.

I seem to go for the gold the most, but I think any touch of metal on a card makes to beautiful.
GOLD!
I find myself reaching for the silver most often but the gold is beautiful for the Christmas cards. I use Copper for more of the Fall Season

Absolutely copper! Love, love the Merry Patterns stamp set.
Gold seems to be my go-to metal this season, but copper is still near the top. Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful set.
Silver for winter and copper for fall are my favorites.
Definitely mixing and layering, with glitter as well!

Copper has become my go to favorite metal for holiday cards.
A mix of gold, silver, and copper will create a beautiful holiday card. The gold and silver doilies are perfect for adding instant glam.

I’m a silver girl… but the other colors are fun, too!

I would say silver and gold for christmas but I am liking the new copper- so copper for fall.
i LOVE silver for the holidays but otherwise. . . .copper, copper, copper! 😀

I would love a chance to get this giveaway. Thanks for offering it! I like silver and copper best for the holidays but gold can’t be left out as it goes so beautifully with so many colors. Thanks again!
I am no respecter of metals! I love them all ? Sometimes it depends on the other colors I’m working with or the theme of the project but I really do like them all. I think pewter, aluminium, steel and iron even have their places!
I love silver for the holidays, but copper is the bomb!
I love to use “Silver” for the holidays since it blends in with the snow scenery very well. Thanks for a chance to win your awesome blog candy.
Gold is most suitable for the holidays-it really makes the days feel special!
I most often use silver for winter….but this year, I used copper with the Bethlehem set and Night of Navy….WOW….gorgeous combo!
My favorite is silver , but I love copper too. I love how they both can mix with so many colors so well. I am going to use it with some blue colors this year, but the copper would also be great for the Fall.
The copper foil is my top choice. It is out-of-the-ordinary and works so well with all colors!! I have die cut the Bethlehem village, the paisleys, and many other designs. Nothing beats it for impact!!
Silver and gold is my go-to for the holidays . . . but I use copper for a more antique/vintage feel to projects!

Gold is my definite favorite, but I also like it mixed with silver!
Mary, l read your email every day. Love your style. I am a old gray – haired lady so silver is my choice for most things.
I love the look of Copper best, maybe because my dad was an electrician and we help pull wire and then stripped the left over copper wire of the outside coating to sell at the local recycle place and then took our family vacations on the money made. Thanks for the chance to win, I love this stamp set.
Oh, definitely a mix of “metals”. In fact, I’m CAS-ING your metal wreath card for my Thanksgiving cards to family. Thought it was just beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win some stampin’ goodies!
I like gold and silver for Christmas cards. I would love to have that stamp set! Thanks for a chance to win it.
This Holiday catalog is wonderful this year! There is something for everyone.
I love the copper foil best and it is good for any special occasion. However, during the holidays I like to use different foil colors. It mainly depends on the ink color(s) and if gold or silver or another foil color will harmonize the best. I haven’t use the champagne pink (I think that is the correct name) yet, but I think that will be fun to use too! Thanks for sharing such wonderful card samples with us! You are always an inspiration!

For the winter, I love silver! It seems like the snow and ice so prevalent in this cold time of year. For fall, I love the new copper looks – so warm and inviting.

You can’t beat gold for elegance, silver for celebration and copper for rustic/”manly” cards. Thanx for all your ideas, tips, and advice for card making. I am recouperating from back surgery and I can’t wait to get back on “the boards”.
I prefer silver for snow flake and religious scenes and I prefer gold with traditional colors like red and green. Your card is simple and beautiful.
I like the silver for winter. It has more of a snowy feel to it for me. And I truly love how it dresses up my cards.
I usually lean towards silver but love the copper look on your last card. So pretty.
Tend to use both silver and gold for Christmas. Thank you!
I love 3 of metallics but I use silver for winter & Christmas cards. Thank you.
I would have to say silver. It reminds me of the beautiful star that we see in Nativity pictures that shine down to remind us of Christ’s birth at Christmas time.
All three! Copper for Fall, Silver for Christmas & Gold for New Year’s!!
Copper for the fall, warm and cozy.
Now normally I am a silver girl all the way, but WOW the copper this year is really floating my boat!
It is a hard choice between gold and silver. Love the silver with dark blues and the gold is so regal. Looking forward to trying the copper as well. It is a nice alternative to the gold. All metallics give ones card an special, elegant look.
Gold is my go to metal for all holidays. Love my gold wedding rings.
Gold is my favorite!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Cooper….just love it.
I use all 3 metallics in my holiday decorating but tend to use copper (with chartreuse and deep purple…GORGEOUS color combo) the most. Awesome blog candy, Mary.
I am a huge fan of gold, especially for Christmas. However, your beautiful card has me checking out the lovely combination of gold and silver.
I love using all the metals each one is so beautiful. if I had to chose it would be gold,,no silver
Gold! It’s just a timeless and elegant color. Rich and beautiful, I love it!
It’s too hard to choose. I like them both. I use silver with blues and gold with red and green.
I like the gold, it can be used year round and in many different ways.
I love using anything shiny and sparkly on my Christmas cards! I vary between gold and silver. I have never tried copper. I always use a matching gold or silver pen!!
Thank you!
My favorite “metal” for holiday cards is silver because it reminds me of the fresh glittery snow on a sunny winter day!
Idon’t Like having to make decisions, so Imwould go with a mix of metals.
I’m loving silver and white mixed for an outdoorsy look.
Copper…….so rich and not the standard,expected holdiay gold or silver.
Hmmm……guess I tend to reach for gold the most, although I don’t know why. I think all 3 metallics together are stunning as well!!!
I love all the metals but use silver most often; a silver snowflake is most beautiful! Thanks for all your wonderful card ideas!
I love all three, but am not good a combining them, and being a complete sucker for anything snowflake, usually end up using silver!
It is hard to chose a single metal. They are all beautiful, so I will chose, and use, a mix of the metals throughout the year, especially during the holidays.
I love to use silver but also like gold in the right setting.
Gold is my favorite. Thanks for sharing your designs!
I love to use a mix of all the metals in my holiday cards and decor! Thanks a bunch for the chance to win!
I use a mix of all metals: I love them all.
I like the mix of metals but not just for the holidays. Great for Man cards and just when you think the card is done a dash of metallic paper is just what you need.
I love using a mixture of the different metals. My first inclination is to use silver, but i’ve Been going outside my comfort box and have really enjoyed using all the different medals..
And, I think all of your tags were absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the great inspiration!
I love all if the metals so I would have to say a mix is my favorite.
Silver has always been my fave but I’m loving the coppers right now.
I love to use gold for winter cards because I think it has a special warmth to it.
I like a mix of metallic paper! I would love to win your giveaway!
I love a mix of metals! My love affair began with jewelry and has carried over into card making!
I love all the metals so a mix is my favorite! Love your samples, Mary!
I generally gravitate to silver……….it reminds me of the new fallen snow with all it’s sparkles. 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.
I love a mix, but my fave would be silver with dazzling diamonds ❄️❄️
I usually turn to the silver, but this year I am also using a lot of copper. I loved your mixed metals wreath, it was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
GOlD for sure!
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!
Copper
Definitely Gold.
I love using Gold for Christmas cards.
Can’t wait to start Christmas projects.
Silver every time for me.
I love both Copper and Silver. Silver goes perfectly with Night of Navy and Black, and Copper looks fantastic with green.
Gold!!! So pretty with Christmas themed papers! I like to use gold sparkle paper!
I am partial to silver like the Christmas carol “Silver Bells”!
I am SO in love with the copper! BUT … the silver used with the Night in Bethlehem set in the Holiday catalog is gorgeous. I guess because I’ve always been a fan of silver and blue for Christmas….it’s just sparkly to me. Thanks for sharing!
I love silver and gold for holiday cards. I also really love copper, but haven’t used it for holidays.

Silver!
I’ve been using more copper lately. I love how it plays well with pinks!
Second to copper I like gold. I have seen that it’s becoming trendy to mix metals, and I like it, but I don’t have the confidence yet to know how to mix it up. Haha!
A mix of metallics is my preference for Christmas or New Years cardmaking. Thanks for the chance to win and being so generous.
I like a mixture
I love copper. It evokes the warmth of autumn while adding such a wow factor. Plus, most of the time it is such an unexpected addition.
I love, love, love silver. Copper being my second favorite. Thank you for all of the beautiful inspiration you give us.

Thanks for a chance to win such great blog candy! I usually gravitate to silver but lately I have been more drawn to copper. Both are so pretty!
For the holidays I favor silver.
Picking one fav metal would be like trying to pick one favorite out of my 3 kids! (although there ARE those days when “one” moves to “least fav” of the day status! lol) Each is lovely and unique in it’s own way, and being a “bling” kind of gal, pulling the metal embellishments together with metallic Embossing powder is one of my fav ways to roll!
I’m really loving the copper, as it seems “edgier”.
I have always prefered silver but am sure liking all the fun copper items I am seeing so maybe I am becoming more of a mix. Love your projects and blog.
Definitely copper! Thanks for the chance to win a great prize package.
I like silver for holiday cards. It seems to mix better with snow effects! Thanks Mary .
I love them all! Silver is probably my most favorite…but just like fabric, I have a hard time choosing. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love using all the metals but seem to be using more of copper this season!
Enjoy all of your projects, I like silver and gold.
I love the silver snowflakes and the Merry Patterns is such an awesome set!
I’ve always been partial to silver, but this year I’m thinking gold.
I love the silver for my Christmas cards and the gold for my ornaments. Thank you, Mary, for your inspiration and generosity.
I would say Silver for Christmas cards–but SU really outdid themselves with this paper and snowflakes—just gorgeous!
I like silver for the winter months and definitely copper for the fall. Thanks Mary, hope you have a great weekend. Cheers from Maine!
I like all the metals, not just for Christmas but all year round. They make a simple card really stand out.
I love silver but lately it seems I like a mixture!
Kathy H in California.
My “favorite” metal flucuates between silver and copper. I’ve always loved silver especially around the winter holiday days. It adds an icy feel to my paper crafts. Other times I prefer copper and it’s warmth. Plus Stampin’ Up has given us so many great copper embellishments to use.
Mix! Love the new trend. So festive.
This year copper will be my choice for a metallic accent.
I love the look of mixed metals. The copper color with the more traditional metals really adds the perfect touch.
I love both th silver for snow embellishments and gold for the beauty, regality and peacefulness of the birth of Jesus! Your cards are awesome and I have cased many! You are truly an inspiration!
I would initially say silver, but I’m kind of liking the copper look now too. Thanks for the chance to win!
I think I mostly use silver metal accents. I like white on white and silver for a little pop. And, my Mom’s favorite Christmas song was Silver Bells and I just always think of her when I’m making those cute little bells with silver foil and sparkle paper.
Good morning Mary. Cool day in MN a good day to stamp. I was always a gold person, but now I have to change my ways. All the things in Silver that I have seen are just cool. I think that I use more silver now. Thanks for a chance on your goodies.
Mine would have to be the silver. It reminds me of the brilliant star in the east leading us to the Christ Child.
So simple but elegant! Love the mixed metals, but the copper makes things pop. Thanks for sharing with us!
Copper. It’s beautiful accented with white!
My usual go to is silver but I really like the look of copper. Thanks for the chance to win.
Silver – so peaceful and elegant
I love them all, so “Mix”. It depends on what I am making as to which color I would use with it.
I think I tend to fall favoring the silver. I love it paired with night of navy. Thanks for the chance!
I like a mix of the metallics!
My favorite is silver but a combination is nice for something different. All are very classy by themselves.
It is such a hard choice! I am always torn between silver and copper, no gold 🙂
P.S. your “click HERE” link is broken!
I love adding some of the silver, gold or copper foil to my cards. Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful prize.
My all time preference is the Silver – there is something so very special – don’t know if it is the glimmer – the softness whatever it happens to be it is my favorite. 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.
It depends on what I’m putting it with! I like gold and copper with rich, warm colors, and silver with the cool colors. For fall, copper is my favorite. Winter can go either way, warm (gold) or cool (silver).
Silver – It looks some much like a glittery snowflake
Gold!
I love them all…so I guess my answer is “MIX”. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
Silver is my favorite metal for the winter season and Christmas holiday. I think it’s beautiful with any blue. Thanks for the chance to win!
Loved the card. I like using the note cards, they are awesome. I think that copper is my favorite, but also like to mix. Would love it if you would do a mixed metals Christmas quilt card. Love you style!!
Silver for Christmas- so sparkly!
For Fall, I love the richness of copper!
This is beautiful simple card I can seed it done in either the gold or silver something that would be so easy to get done before Christmas Love it.
I love working with silver ❄️
Love to mix metal colors for the Holidays. Gives the card or whatever project you are constructing a definite WOW and without a doubt a big POP. Favorite metal color to use is silver. This would be an awesome blog win!
I definitely am a silver metal girl, but I love how you mixed the gold and copper. Thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas
I love GOLD!!!
Copper is gorgeous on cards!
Gold and copper makes it really pop for me.
Copper seems to be my go-to color for a metallic look!
This stamp set really is neat, this year I am using all the different metals, as it depends on which looks better with the card, but
that copper is really elegant looking so that is my selection
I enjoy the traditional gold embellishments with Christmas handcrafts. Thanks for the chance to win this nice prize!
It’s a choice between gold or silver. This year I will be using more gold. Thank you for a chance to win!
Gold
I lean toward silver for winter projects. It Pais so nicely with Night of Navy and Elegant Eggplant.
I really love this stamp set!!! I love all the metals. I think any of them would work well on winter cards. I think it all depends on what stamp set is being used.
MIX!!! I love them all.
I used to always use silver for Christmas as it was sparkly like snow, but lately I like Cooper look, it looks so rich
This season I’m liking the look of mixed metals although I usually like silver for the winter holidays. Love your card!
Your card is beautiful, as always. My favorite metallic is silver, but I do like the mix of metallics.
I love a mix of metals. In the past I’ve always used silver at Christmas, but with the new foil colors, I will use them all.
Silver! Copper! Sparkly!
I love all three! I haven’t used copper very much. However, gold is my favorite. Your card is gorgeous!
I love to mix my metals… variety is the spice of life!
I have used copper a lot this fall, but will use a mix of gold and silver for the holidays.
I love them all but tend to use more silver.
Love using silver — especially the silver glimmer paper.
I love mixing the metals on my cards, but Copper is my new solo favorite. I just love the richness it gives to cards. Thanks for the opportunity to win such great Blog Candy!
Going crazy over copper
While I love all three, I’m a big fan of copper.
I love them all!
I love all the metals but nothing says winter to me like silver snowflakes!
Definately silver, perfect for snowy scenes and starry nights.
Silver or Gold. I prefer copper for fall cards.
I love SILVER! Thanks for a chance to win such a nice giveaway!
I love the mix of bling. I use silver if I want a “snowy” effect. I use copper with browns for a masculine card.
I think silver always looks great with winter-themed cards, pages, etc. It’s just a beautiful look!
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.
Silver!
Silver is my favorite. I like to mix metallics as well.
Anything shiny, gold, silver, or copper is always a good thing around the holidays!
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.
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!
Love Silver!!
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!
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!
typically my favorite metal for the holidays has always been gold but now that I see all these pretty things created with a mix I’m liking that the best. It’s just a fresh look, gold silver and copper.
I love how a mix of the metals looks. Thanks for a generous giveaway!
I tend to use silver for most things but around the holidays I love to use Gold.
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!!
At this time of year silver (a cool color) is my preference, especially for snowflakes, and jewelry!
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.
I am normally a gold person, but for winter I like the look of silver.
I like to use the combination of gold and silver for my holiday projects. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Gold or silver — depends on the image or scene. Fantastic blog candy — stamp set (love the candle images), Foil Snowflakes and note cards! Woohoo! Hope I win!
I love the copper! A metal mix would be very interesting though. Thanks for such a great blog candy!!
The more metal, the merrier!! Silver is my favorite!
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.
A mix – love all the foils!
Dear Mary, Happy Friday the 13th. I have always turned to silver but this year as I am working on my Christmas Cards I found I was using more Gold. I am a fan of copper I like the warmth it provides to some of my cards. Have a wonderful day.
Def gold!
Gold is always my favorite but loving the copper this year! Thank you for the opportunity for this giveaway – hoping I win because I’ve been wanting this stamp set! ??
I am using more gold this year for the holidays. Thank you for a chance to win!
I think the copper is really nice. But I think the silver and gold are good for holidays.
I usually use silver for Christmas holiday cards and copper for Thanksgiving cards
I like to use silver with navy. It just adds that touch of elegance to a card. Enjoy the day, Mary!
I love the cooper esp for fall and gives a new twist for Christmas.
I’m a fan of silver!
Love the silver for Christmas and the cooper for fall…some beautiful and it adds that “WOW” factor to cards and boxes!
I’m loving working with gold this year
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,
Love the mixed metals look that is on trend right now. LOVE your Blog Mary!
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.
Silver looks so beautiful on black!
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.
I love the combinations. the wreath card you did was my favorite card of all time. thanks
I really love the look of copper. Thank you for the giveaway.

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!
🙂
Copper has been my favorite – Love the warmth and versatility.
Whether it’s Paper rafting or jewelry, I tend to always reach for the silver – it’s so bright, cool and cheery!
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.
Silver is my ‘go-to’ for the holidays, but the copper is a new fave!!!
I love a mix of gold and silver. I just love getting up every morning and seeing your beautiful creations. I think what I like most about your style is how you keep it beautiful yet clean. Thanks for the opportunity to win this blog candy.
I like a mix , although I am drawn to silver. Thanks for offering this blog candy
I like all three embossing powder, but the new champagne foil paper is great. This is a GREAT stamp set.
I love them all, so the mix is for me. Thanks for the chance to win
Has to be mix…the metallics are all so pretty. Thank you for the chance to win!
I always like to add a little bling to my cards. I’m particularly drawn to silver glitter or foil paired with white or light blue for that wintery look and feel.
For fall I like gold and for winter I like silver.
Hi Mary-I used to be a gold girl through and through but I recently tried mixing my metals (thanks to Champagne foil paper!) and love that look as well. Thanks for the chance to win your blog candy!
I am partial to copper but love the mixed metal look that is on trend now
I tend to like silver more. It’s more “bright”.
I like to use a mixture of metals at Christmas! I like how the colors mix!
Hi! I’ve used silver and gold on Christmas cards and like them both. This year I plan to use gold so I guess it’s my favorite right now! Thank you!
Usually silver, but this year it would be hard to choose between silver and gold. Thanks for a chance to win!
After seeing how You used both colors that is a hard question to answer. However I tend to go towards the gold.
I love silver for the holidays. It always reminds me of a crisp wintry Christmas morning. Your card that you made with this stamp set is totally gorgeous, btw!
I absolutely love the mixed metal look that is on trend now. Thanks for sharing your lovely creations with us!
Depends, but I do tend towards silver. Thanks for chance to win but mostly thanks for all your awesome postsM
Love to use a mixture of metals.
Like merry little labels set..cute ideas.
