To begin with, I started by treating a Barely There Card Stock panel with my Embossing Powder Tool because, I was going to heat embossing the frame, sentiment and some of the small images from the Sparkle with Magic Stamp Set with WOW! Metallic Brass Regular. Once, the images and the sentiment were heat embossed, I used a combination of Copic Markers to color the tiny Christmas lights on each corner of the card panel to be exact the colors that I used were; E02, E04, E40, BG70, BG72. Right after the coloring, I trimmed the edges as usual a bit smaller than an A2 size card and I adhered the backing of the card panel to a top folding white card base with foam mounting tape. Lastly, I added Glossy Accent to each Christmas light for a dimensional shiny look and to finish this card off, I also adhered some Pink Moonstone Sequin Mix here and there for a extra touch of sparkle.

For the second card, I started by treating a same color card stock panel once again with my embossing tool because, I was going to heat embossing the entire image from the Cozy Christmas Wishes Stamp Set with WOW! Metallic Brass Regular. Right after the heat embossing, I used the same Copic Marker color combination that, I used on the previous card to color the leaves and berries from the stamped image. Soon after the coloring, I ran the card panel through the die-cutting machine along with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Die Set so, after the die-cutting, I adhered the backing of the card panel to an A2 top folding white card base with foam mounting tape to add dimension to the card. Lastly, I added Glossy Accent to the berries for a dimensional shiny look and to finish the card off, I adhered as well some of the Pink Moonstone Sequin Mix for a touch of sparkle.
