Today I have an elegant ivory and gold Christmas card that I made using the Anna Griffin cartridge and the Yuletide Greetings stamp set. I really love giving elegant Christmas cards. People always seem more impressed with my crafting skills when I give these kinds of cards away.
I wanted to add a little more glitz and glamor, so I heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder. Quick tip: when heat embossing, run a dryer sheet over the paper that you will be stamping on before you stamp. It will help to give a cleaner finished product with out all of the wayward bits.

Your card is so beautiful I do love it. You chose such pretty colors and love your ribbon perfect touch. Thanks too for the dryer sheet tip.
This cartridge has so many elegant cuts on it. Love what you've shared from it.
Awesomely beautiful card!!!!!! Love the colors, and your embellishment. Many thanks for your heat embossing tip. Those stray powder bits turned me off from heat embossing, but I'm going to get some dryer sheets and revisit the technique.
The embellishment of the pearl & ribbon complement the wonderful card with the die cuts.
