The first card uses the Tied with Cheer Registration press plate on black cardstock. The hanger and bow is heat embossed in gold and the sentiment is heat embossed in white. A circle template is made using a circle die and the ornament is inked using Coastline metallic ink. Extra details are added using the Festive floral die set to add Holiday greenery & a poinsettia to the top of the ornament.
The second cardis created using the Festive Evergreens Registration press plate set. The greens plate is inked and pressed with Pine betterpress ink and the Door and steps are heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The embossed ornaments are coloured with a Red copic marker and the card is finished off with a Red foiled sentiment left over from a previous project. Glossy accents are added over the copic coloured ornaments to add additional glossy doed dimension.
The third card uses the Windows with a View press plare. It is embossed in the platinum 6 using the layering to emboss a die for the background. For the coloured windows it is inked with black betterpress ink before die cutting and colouring with tombow brush markers before card assembly.
The fourth card is created using the Thanks in Bloom plate. It is heat embossed in Black on Watercolor cardstock before watercoloring with metallic ink pads. Stickles are used in the centres of the flowers for additional sparkle. Sentiments for the last two cards are created using the Timeless Greetings sentiments plate set.
