Hello!
I am just wondering what brand and colors of carstock you are using for your christmas cards this year.
I am looking for a great red and green that is sturdy for cards.
I also want some burgundy and a more vintage color of green.
Please no offense to anyone but
I really am not interested in Stampin Up as I am breaking away from their products and want to branch out to new company products.
I am doing something completely different this year and am very pleased with the results. I am trying to get away from the usual red and green for Christmas. If I do use red and green I use SU real red or PTI pure poppy w/ SU old olive, always artichoke, PTI pure avocado or spring moss.
I've used PTI and SU cardstock in these color combinations w/coordinating patterned cardstock.
PTI chocolate, SU baja breeze & PTI spring moss
PTI chocolate & spring moss & aqua mist
PTI chocolate, sweet sorbet & sweet blush
SU tempting turquoise & only orange
PTI scarlet jewel & spring rain
PTI new leaf & SU pink pirouette
I highly recommend PTI cardstock. It's awesome.

I will be using SU because I have so much of it, but if I needed to buy cardstock to make Christmas cards, I'd be buying a bunch of Gina K.'s cranberry tart, fresh asparagus, and soft sand.

I love Poptone cardstock. It's 100# cover, heavy-weight and comes in some amazing colors. They have three greens that I love - Gumdrop Green, Jelly Bean Green, and Sour Apple Green. Their reds are Red Hot Red and Wild Cherry Red.
I buy them at XPedX and Paper Zone. Hope this helps!
I am a huge fan of Gina K and Papertrey's cardstock!! I am not sure what colors I am using yet this year, but Gina has new Cranberry Tart and All Spruced Up, gorgeous burgundy and dark green colors!!!
I use the American Crafts and Bazzill solid color paper. I like the texture of those. I also use Prism, and WorldWin. I use these brands for all my cards, not just holidays.
I also have every color of Papertrey cardstock and love them. Their Scarlett and Spring Moss would be lovely or even the Avocado.....love love love their papers.

Another vote for Gina K papers....you have to get some of these....the quality is top shelf. I need to get going and place another order soon too.
blessings.
