Here are the projects I created for our hop! I created 3 different Christmas Cards using dry & heat embossing. I made one child like with a Reindeer, and the other 2 geared more towards adults.    

 For the cover, I used Snowflakes a Plenty Christmas stamp set by Inkadinkao.  I also used embossing ink by Recollections called Snow and Glitz. I like how some of the snowflakes are off center and look like they have a darker silhouette.

 The inside sentiment is by Inkadinkado as well called Christmas Silhouettes. 

 For my CAS card, I wanted the main focus to be the sentiment and the Poinsettia. Again, I used Recollections embossing powders in Glitz for the border and Snow for the sentiment.

 The inside sentiment is by Stampin' Up and is from a retired set called Occasional Quotes.

 I used my Teddy Bear Parade cartridge for the reindeer and the mat is from Elegant Edges. I used  a dry embossing folder called Snowflake.

The inside sentiment is by Recollections. 

Now onto the lovely Lori!
