Thank you everyone for your kind words and votes.
Re Meggies Nana... for the poinsettias I used red 80 lbs weight cardstock with the matching stamp. What gives it the shiny look is my homemade stamping ink which I made using metallic gouache paint which I purchased on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/281508364590?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I also used the paints to color the leaves. I love this set of paints and I am thinking of buying another one just in case. There are tons of youtube videos on how to make your own stamping ink. The one that I found the most useful is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vah1ii4mZYQ.
The black background is black 80 lbs cardstock embossed with Sue Wilson Embossing Folder - Tartan Trellis and I used clear embossing powder after inking the folder with versamark . For some reason this folder gives such a rich look to the page when used with clear embossing powder.
The two golden side borders and bauble were created using the Sue Wilson New Zealand Coll Noble Border CED8203 and I used the encased border technique as shown by Becca Feeken on her blog http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/how-to-make-an-encased-border/ . I cannot recall what paper this is because I purchased it long time ago when on sale at the store and it was by sheet with no label on it. It feels like double the thickness of printing paper and it has a shimmer to it.
Oh my gracious I can't believe what an elegant & beautiful card this is! I love the richness of the gold & the poinsettias are WOW! May I ask what type of papers you used?:)
