Gold and silver are traditional Christmas colors to me. These two cards feature products from the O Holy Night suite collection and are absolutely beautiful in person. If you are looking for inspiration how to use the beautiful O Holy Night Designer Series Paper and Shining Brightly Specialty DSP, here are a couple of options. I'm calling these cards Stars at Night.
"The stars are brightly shining" is in the Night Divine stamp set. These words are in the song "O Holy Night" which is one of my favorite songs, not just Christmas, but overall. This stamp set is scheduled for retirement but it will stay in my collection for future use. I love this card because it is a center fold card.
The sentiment on the gold card is in the Stars at Night stamp set. It is a linear stamp and can be challenging to line up straight. The secret to photopolymer stamps is to take them out of the packaging and place smooth side up and let it rest on the table. That lets the stamp return to original shape before you place it on your stamping block.
