stamp set - Scenic Season (retired); ink - Garden Green, Real Red, Versamark; Stampin' Emboss powder - Pewter; card stock - Whisper White, Real Red; punch - 2-1/2" circle; Big Shot with Lacy Brocade textured impressions embossing folder, Stampin' Dimensionals
The first version didn't have any embossing, but I thought it needed just a little something, so after I added the Lacy Brocade, I flattened it out by sending it back through the Big Shot between two pieces of chipboard. It's just what I was trying for, and I was still able to stamp the greeting on top without losing definition.
While looking for a sentiment for the inside, I pulled out Angelic Joy and decided the Jingle Belles/Merry Monday combination was so good, I was going to make another:
stamp sets - Angelic Joy (retired), Four the Holidays (retired); ink - Old Olive, Versamark; Stampin; Emboss powder - Gold; card stock - Certainly Celery; designer series paper - Letters to Santa (retired), Christmas Cocoa (retired)
