Instructions: My card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2". Make card base out of white cardstock and cover with one of the card fronts. Cut a piece of 3 x 4" blue cardstock and round the corners. Run through the Vagabond with the embossing folder. I always like to spritz the cardstock with water before using the embossing folder, it seems to give a better embossing. Now, using a very light touch, use the Silver Gilding Wax and your finger and go over the embossing to give it a bit more dimension. After about 10 minutes I take a piece of paper towel and rub it across the top to buff a bit. Use dimensional tape to adhere to the center of the card front.
Stamp the poinsettia with Rhubarb Stalk Memento ink and cut out using the coordinating die. Using Lady Bug Memento ink and sponge dauber, color the petals. Using Rich Cocoa Memento Ink stamp the leaves and cut out using the coordinating die. Color the leaves with New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink and daubers. Lay the flowers and leaves onto the Poinsettia Shaping Mold and spritz with water. Run the mold through the Vagabond to shape the petals and leaves. Set aside to dry. Now is the time to add the Prills to the center of the flowers and the glitter to the edges of the flower petals and let dry.
Stamp the angel onto white cardstock using Versamark ink and emboss with the gold embossing powder. Using the brush and the distress inks, color the little angel and set aside to dry. Pick out a sentiment from the paper collection and matt it with blue and white cardstock and use dimensional tape to adhere to make a sign. Glue the little angel on one side using glue and dimensional tape to mount him.
Cut out the Medallion using the coordinating die. Using a sponge and glue apply glue to the top and bottom portion of the die, sprinkle with glitter and set aside to dry. Once dry, glue down poinsettia flowers to the center of the medallion and use dimensional tape to adhere to the card front.

For more tips on creating with the O Holy Night collection, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/UWDeK6soJ0E.
Instructions: My card is 7" x 7". Cut a piece of cardstock 7 1/2" x 7" and score at 1/2". Cut another piece of cardstock 7 x 7. Glue the 7" piece of cardstock to the 1/2" flap of the 7 1/2" x 7 piece of cardstock to make a card base that measures 7 x 7. Cover the card base with a piece of the paper collection.
Using the Vagabond 2 die cut machine, cut the Intricate Swirl Die out of white cardstock. Using a sponge and some glue apply Crystal Clear to the die cut. Set aside to dry.
Stamp using VersaMark Ink the little angels and the city as well as the sentiment. Use gold embossing powder to emboss these pieces and set aside to cool. Use coordinating dies to cut out these elements. Next stamp the three shepherds with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and then color these and the angels with a brush, water and the Distress Inks. Set aside to dry. Once dry, glue down the elements using dimensional tape to add a bit of dimension. Decide where you want the sentiment and glue it down.

Beautiful cards and a beautiful collection! Temptation! I think you've mentioned it before, but making note again about spritzing your cardstock with water before embossing. Really love the stamps and dies in this collection, and the paper. Well, gee, I guess that pretty much covers the whole collection, doesn't it? You've used it well, Glenda!
