I love the black, gold, and white color scheme of Stampin’ Up!’s Modern Christmas Suite Collection. It’s just so elegant and stunning. However, I realize that many people prefer the traditional holiday colors of red and green. So, I created a card sporting a traditional theme.
Please enjoy a free Christmas card-making tutorial.
