It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! Today, sweet Joanne has a color challenge which is perfect for the holiday season!
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create a Christmas card in traditional hues of red and green, accented with gold. I hope you enjoy this red and green holiday card.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I’ll admit it. I love today’s card. This is such a pretty color combination. The gold foil plays well with both the red and green, lending it warmth. And what can I say…the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder adds such beautiful texture.
This card is a snap to make! Here are the details:
- The card base is a piece of 4-1/4″ x 11″ Thick Whisper White cardstock, which I scored at 5-1/2″.
- Using the Detailed Deer thinlits, I cut the deer out of a piece of 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Gold Foil. I then adhered this piece to the card base, and saved the deer.
- The Shaded Spruce layer is 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″. The Real Red banner is 3-7/8″ x 1″. Both of these pieces were embossed with the Swirls & Curls folder.
- The designer paper panel is 2″ x 3-5/8″, matted onto a piece of 2-1/8″ x 3-3/4″ Real Red cardstock. It was adhered to the card base using dimensionals.
- The deer is “popped” up on dimensionals.
- Five red rhinestones add a touch of bling.
I’ll be anxious to hear what you think of today’s red and green holiday card, so don’t forget to leave a comment. And don’t forget to visit the rest of the Design Team for more inspiration!

Beautiful Ann – the addition of the gold makes for a wonderfully festive and elegant card. Love the texture too but the deer really is the star of the show!
Ann, if this doesn’t say classy and elegant, I don’t know what does. Wow! I just love the gold foil and of course, those perfectly placed red rhinestones. Just beautiful!
Gold – snap – perfect third colour! I love the elegance of your card. You have such a great way with layering and including textures and I have learned from you. Thank you. Your work is consistently amazing.
