which "red" and "green" to use for holiday cards

[helenrx]

which "red" and "green" combinations are you using for this year's Christmas/holiday cards?

[danssister]

I used bravo burgendy, night of navy, and very vanilla for design, and for the other I'm using bravo burgendy, garden green and certainly celery.

When using green and red, I use real red and green galore but I often use blues and white for christmas

I'm using Always Artichoke and Ruby Red this year.

I'm making a bunch of different cards (I think I have ADD when it comes to stamping). Some have green galore,white, black and white gingham ribbon and assorted colors fromt the WCC set. Another one is all real red, white and silver. Still designing the other. But, I think I'm going totally non traditional and will do something like cocoa and pink and vanilla. Just thinking....

I've used Green Galore and Real Red in the past. This year I am using Bravo Burgundy and Handsome Hunter.

I've seen the color combo of Real Red and Certainly Celery and I LOVE it!! Unfortunatley, I don't have any celery, so I'll have to remember it for next year! I'm using night of navy and bashful blue and real red and artichoke on my other cards.

Handsome Hunter and real red (with gold accents) work nicely.

Real red, night of navy and silver. However, my two packs of real red are not the same shade.

Me too!! I ordered a pack of Real Red a month ago, and received another pack today and they are different shades! They won't be next to each other so it doesn't really matter, but I was surprised at just how different they were.

I'm using Real Red and Garden Green for my cards.

My Christmas cards are Certianly Celery and Real Red.

Well, I've gotta tell you I've gone through a ton of celery cardstock with different cards using celerey and real red. Not sure what it is, but I love the combination.

I am so glad to see this post! I have been in a "stamper's block" trying to decide what to do for holiday cards! Can't decide on which stamps to use or colors! These combo's have given me ideas! Thanks so much!!

I like Old Olive with any of the reds.
