I wanted a more CAS Christian Christmas card this year, so I used the SU Rejoice in Christmas stamp set. I gold embossed the image and greeting, added 2 layers of gold sparkle paper and 3 sparkly brads from my good buddy, Benzi. See Benzi, I'm still using goodies you sent me last year!! I also embossed the 1st vanilla mat with my favorite SU embossing folder, square lattice!
Since I was trying to make this simple to possibly duplicate, I only popped up the sparkly gold image panel on dimensionals.
Well, that's all she wrote. Thanks for stopping by to take a look and have a great Labor Day weekend!!

Pam, this is just beautiful and I'm so glad I had a part in the creation. Sometimes, simpler is more beautiful and this is one of those times. The gold embossing looks fabulous. Now, go make 100 more of these. Couldn't be a more perfect Christmas card with this image.

Ohh Pamzi!! That's just gorgeous!!! I love to see you torture Anne Ryan while you get your Christmas cards made!! Hmmm...... now Benzi is trying to credit for this card! What's up with that!!! By the way - it really was you that got me to try the midnight madness sketch!! Here's the real story,not in a PM!!! I had that image coloured up -and then I thought -what will I use for a sketch besides my usual default sort of a sketch. Well - I thought of the midnight madness sketch -and the CAS version looked like it would work for my image. So - I printed up the Midnight Madness Sketch image -as well as yours earlier that I'd seen earlier in the day - that gorgeous Christmas card in silvers! Well, when it came time to make my card into a sketch - well I'd lost the midnight madness print out - so I had yours for reference!! How bout that!! You can brag to the others that you truly are the Princess forever!!!!
Now, to your card! I think it looks so elegant , and the white and gold are just beautiful together!! I agree with Benzi - sometimes less is more! This is just wonderful!! I sure love your gold accents - the brads!!! Lovely card my Pamzi girl!!!

Can't go wrong with this colour combo and the embossed layer adds a lovely touch. Great image and card.

This is so pretty Pamzi - I think it is the perfect Christmas card. I love the embossing and the details - makes it super elegant. I think I need glasses or some more sleep because I seriously thought this was a white and silver card not a vanilla and gold card - I would never have known if I hadn't read your details. Either way, it would be wonderful (it would be pretty in blue too). Love those sparkly things on the side that Benzi sent you - I used some silver ribbon you sent me last year today too so I laughed when I read that comment.
You have a great rest of the weekend - are you feeling any older yet????? The big day is creeping up.......

Fruitcake, yeah, I bet you're sorry to place this christmas card in the gallery. It's only Labor Day weekend, it's not December 15th silly girl. Check your calendar ~ do me a favor, please. I will admit this is just beauitful. The image is glorious and the design....oh the design is is equally as beautiful. Tell me, is this the first of a hundred plus to come? Oh, say it isnt so.
