I made this card with the colours of the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge. This embossing folder, die and stamp set was a cover gift with a magazine ages ago and is still one of my favourites for quick CAS cards.

To make this card I used:
6" x 4" white matt card blank
Practical Publishing 'Opulent Baubles' embossing folder and stamps
Versafine Majestic Blue ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Snippets of white matt card, white paper, blue paper and blue textured card

I embossed a piece of white matt card, trimmed around the edge so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and attached it to the front. I attached the blue paper to snippets of white printer paper to make it the same thickness as the embossed card. I used blue ink to stamp the bauble onto the blue paper and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then used the die from the embossing folder to cut the bauble before inlaying it into the front of the card. I stamped the bow onto a snippet of blue textured card using blue ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I fussy cut the bow and attached it to the top of the bauble with a small foam pad.
