One of my favourite product suites in the Holiday Catalogue is the Joyous Noel Suite. I was drawn to the pretty foliage in the Peaceful Noel stamp set, which really lends itself to stamping Christmas garlands and wreaths, but could be used all year round. I also love the vintage feel of the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Paper, but with a fresh twist of rich, intense colour and hints of copper.

These gift boxes were easily created using the Gift Bag Punch Board and the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Paper, then secured with the gorgeous Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8" Reversible Ribbon. This elegant ribbon is fabulous! It's Merry Merlot with a copper sheen on one side, and copper with a Merry Merlot sheen on the other - ingenious!

The copper foil accents in this designer paper pairs so well with Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon, and the bags turned out so lovely that there wasn't much I needed to do to complete these gifts... just a pretty tag adhered to the front stamped in Merry Merlot, Tranquil Tide, Soft Suede, and Sahara Sand, and finished with a touch of bling from the punched sprig of Tranquil Tide Glimmer Paper.
