**ALL SUPPLIES ARE LISTED BELOW!!**

I used the same products to make two Christmas cards for you today.For my first card I created my background card panel using the Tone on Tone Blue + Shimmer spray to add some color to a white piece of A2 cardstock.Then I stamped the Jingle Bells Script Background stamp using the Silver Lining Fresh Dye Ink on a piece of 4×5.25″ white cardstock.

Next, I heat embossed the Christmas Foliage Stamp with Platinum Crisp Embossing Powder.Then I used my Mini Ink Blending Tools and my Detail Brushes to color the image using the coordinating stencils.I colored the entire image, as I was not totally sure at this point what I would be using on my card.I used Fresh Dye Inks in Lettuce Celebrate, Olove, Cherry Sweet, Water Hyacinth and Ride the Wave to color the image.I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies as well as cut out an additional blue flower.

I created my own colored cardstock using the direct to paper method with the Water Hyacinth ink.I cut a1/2 x 4″ piece of this and popped it up with foam tape near the bottom of my card.After heat embossing the Christmas Sentiment Strips with the Platinum Embossing Powder and die cutting the image,I added a sentiment on top of that blue strip.

Then I added some foliage and flowers adhering directly to the card panel or popping up with foam tape.I finished this card with a sprinkling of White Satin Sequins.This was mounted on the A2 panel that I sprayed then I added to a top fold card base.

For my second card, I stamped the Christmas Foliage stamp with Silver Lining Fresh Dye Ink in the middle of on a piece of white cardstock.I splattered on some of the Tone on Tone Blue + Shimmer spray over the image.I used the coordinated stencils to color select parts of the image with the same Fresh Dye Ink colors I used on card one.

Using another piece of the colored cardstock I created with the direct to paper method from the first card, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Christmas Foliage stamp set with Platinum Embossing Powder.I then heat embossed the Christmas Sentiment Strips stamp with black ink and clear embossing powder.I die cut the strips with the coordinating dies.Both of these were popped up with foam tape in the middle of my card front.I added a sprinkling of White Satin Sequins again and mounted to a top fold card base.
