The XOXOXO Multi-Color ColorBox Pigment Inkpad isn't just for Valentine cards - the combination of rich reds and soft pinks is pretty for a Christmas card too.
A multi-tasking background greeting stamp like the Memory Box Big Merry Christmas lets you add a design element AND a greeting in one step. It's embossed with Opalescent Clear Embossing Powder to speed up the drying process while adding sparkly, iridescent highlights. Cut the text into two sections and attach the new year portion to the inside of the card.
Cut a piece of a Scor-Tape sheet large enough for the ornament and attach it to white cardstock. Diecut it with the solid Classic Ornament. Diecut the detailed Emma Ornament overlay from Currant Cardstock. Attach the overlay to the tape-covered solid ornament, then brush Silver Lining Glitter onto the adhesive that's not covered by the overlay.
Tie a silver cord bow and attach it to the ornament. Diecut the ornament top from silver mirror cardstock and attach it over the knot of the bow. Attach everything to a 6-1/4" x 4-5/8" card of Raspberry Cardstock - use foam dots to attach the greeting on the front of the card.
