Now on to my card details:

I created this card using the new ODBD Poinsettia Background stamp and Die as well as the sentiment from the Holly Tag Set. The card stock is Gina K Pure Luxury White and the embossing is Ranger Fine Detail Gold. The gold mat is Paper Studio. The ribbon was from Micheal's.

The Luminary Ornament was made using the Tag Die Cut , along with the Poinsettia Background stamp. In an effort to keep the blog hop post short, I'll not show a tutorial on how to create this ornament now, but may try to write one when I can. The basics are to cut 4 tags and score the two sides and bottom at 1/4". Stamp all the tags with the Poinsettia Backgrounder, and emboss. Cut a base anywhere from 1 3/4" up depending on what you like. Cut out a window in all 4 tags using the smallest Spellbinder's Mega Ovals, and adhere vellum or acetate. I used vellum I had embossed with a Sizzix EF, Sugar.

Using tacky tape, adhere the 4 sides together, then using TomBow Metal Glue adhere tags to base. This makes the perfect size ornament to hold a battery operated tea light, or you could fill it with goodies.

I hope you enjoyed my project!
