Instructions: My card size is 6 x 6". Make card base and cover with one of the card fronts. Stamp the village with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto white cardstock and cut out with the coordinating die. Use the dove blender pen and Memento and Distress inks to color. Load it up with lots of glitter and set aside to dry.

Using VersaMark ink, stamp the poinsettia and emboss using the white embossing powder. Color with the daubers and Lilac Posies Memento ink. Stamp the holly leaves with Olive Green ink and then color with Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink. Cut out the poinsettia and holly leaves with the coordinating die. Run them through the 3D mold and then glue the holy leaves and poinsettia petals together to form a flower. Add prills to the centers of the flowers and set aside to dry.

Using Olive Green Ink stamp the pine sprigs onto white cardstock. Cut out using the coordinating die. Glitter and set aside to dry.

Using the circle dies cut out a piece of coordinating paper to go behind the village. Glue the two pieces together. Cut a lacy edged die cut from white cardstock and the circle dies; cut another piece of coordinating paper using the circle dies to fit onto the lacy die cut. Glue together. Add dimensional tape to the village and adhere to the circle making a beautiful medallion. Glue the medallion to the card front. Next pick out a sentiment from the paper collection, cut it out and then cut another piece of paper to fit behind it making a sign. Adhere it to the card front with dimensional tape. Stamp a tree with Olive green ink and cut out using the coordinating die. Use Rajni Chawla's Frosting Powder and a heat gun to set the powder giving a look of snow on the tree. Use dimensional tape to adhere it to the edge of the sign. Now decide where you want to place the greenery and the poinsettia flowers and glue them down. The card is finished.

Instructions: Liz Gaze has a video on the Heartfelt Creations Facebook page that showcases making shaped cards with the Botanical Window die. See the video here.  Make the card base. Score and fold a piece of cardstock and slide the window die over the scored fold and cut out. This will create a hinge so your card will open and close. Cut another window and glue it over the folded piece and this gives the card all the decorative edges. I cut out the vertical strips on the front of the window and inserted one of the card front images so that you are looking out over a magical snow scene. I added glitter and set aside to dry. Dimensional tape was used to adhere to the front of the card.

Using VersaMark ink stamp the poinsettia and then emboss with the white powder. I then used a dauber and Lilac Posies ink to color the petals and cut out using the coordinating dies. I stamped all leaves and pine boughs with Stazon Olive Green ink and cut out using the coordinating dies. The holly leaves were colored with Bamboo Leaves Ink and a dauber. Run the leaves and flower petals through your die cutting machine using the 3D Poinsettia Shaping Mold. Glue the flower together and add the prills to the center and set aside to dry. Glitter the pine boughs and set aside to dry.

Find a ticket on the paper collection and cut out using the Luggage and Tags Dies. Use dimensional tape to adhere to the front of the card and then arrange the flowers and pine boughs around the ticket.

Instructions: My card is 5 x 7". Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection. Using white cardstock cut out the Intricate Swirl Frames Die pieces and glue to the card front.

Spritz with water, place tem in the Poinsettia 3D Shaping Molds and then glue together to form flower. Add prills to the center of the flowers and set aside to dry.

Using Olive Green Ink stamp the pine trees and pine sprigs and cut out using coordinating dies. For the Pine sprigs I added glitter and set aside to dry. On the pine trees I used the Snow Tex and set aside to dry.

Now stamp onto white cardstock the sleigh and cut out with coordinating die. Color the deer with Tea Die Distress ink and everything else is colored using Memento Inks and the Dove Blender Pen. Add glitter and set aside to dry. Once everything is dry assemble all the elements where you like them and then pick out a ticket from the paper collection. Using dimensional tape to adhere, glue it to the card front.

Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this project. My tag measures 5 x 8 1/2". I made my own tag by cutting two pieces of cardstock to specifications and then gluing them together. This makes the tag a bit stronger and able to handle whatever you may want to put on the front. Cover the tag with a piece of the paper collection (I chose red). Punch a whole in the top of the tag and then set it aside while you prepare all the elements.

Using Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink stamp the poinsettia flowers onto white cardstock and color with a sponge dauber and Lady Bug Memento Ink. Use a coordinating die to cut out. Lay the flowers and leaves onto the 3D Mold and spritz with water then run through the Vagabond. Lay aside to dry. Once dry you can add the Prills to the centers and the glitter to the edges of the flower petals. I used a sponge and dries clear glue to add glitter. Set the flowers aside to dry. Once dry glue the petals and leaves to form a flower.

Cut out the ornament twice, once with white cardstock and once with gold metallic and glue the pieces together to form the white snowflakes and gold background. I used the sponge and glue to adhere glitter to the snowflakes part of the ornament and set aside to dry. Using the green metallic cardstock and the circle die, cut out the circle and glue the ornament to the circle. Set the green piece aside and go back to the ornament. Tie a piece of green ribbon around the top of the ornament and glue the poinsettias to the top as well. Set aside to dry. Once dry glue the ornament onto the green circle. Stamp the angel with VersaMark ink and emboss with gold embossing powder. Using a brush and water, color with the distress inks. Use dimensional tape to adhere the angel to the green circle.

Cut out the Sweetheart Borders lace die using white cardstock. Using the Scor-Tape adhere the green ribbon to the top of the lace. Tie a green bow and adhere to the center of the lace. Glue it down onto the tag front. Now glue the ornament and circle over the piece of lace and allow to hang off the side.

Cut out one of the tags from the paper collection using the Luggage and Tags Die and mat with a piece of the green metallic cardstock and then with a piece of white cardstock. Use dimensional tape to adhere to the tag and add another angel to the side. Tie a piece of green ribbon to the top of the tag and your tag is finished.
