Emma Lou has a great tutorial on shaping the poinsettias here.
To make the leaves diecut using the HCD1-765 Large Sparkling Poinsettia die out of green cardstock. I have used the 1 mm tip from the Deluxe Shaping kit and the hard mat to score lines to indicate veins. Sponge the edges with Bamboo Leaves ink and adhere to the top of the cracker.
To make the poinsettias stamp the image from the HPC-3680 Sparkling Poinsettia stamp with Versamark ink and emboss with gold embossing powder. Sponge the back with Love Letter ink and die cut. Sponge on the top of Poinsettias with Dries Clear glue and sprinkle Crystal Clear over it. I have used Heart of Gold prills in the centre of one flower and a gold gem on the other one. Diecut a snowflake from the HCD1-7108 Snow Kissed Flakes and Tag die, out of gold mirror card and cut in half. Place one gold snowflake half onto box over the leaves.
To finish the cracker die cut the label using the die from the HCD1-745 Luggage and Tags die, sponge the edges with Bamboo Leaves ink and adhere under the flower as shown. Tie red ribbons to each end.

Instructions: Cut a piece of white cardstock 6" x 12", score and crease along the long side at 6" to make a 6" x 6" card. Cut a 6" x 6" panel from the paper collection with the cardinals at the top right corner and using the cutting edge from the HCD1-7120 Fleur Border Basics die cut across the bottom of the panel as shown. Cut a separate piece of the lace edge from the HCD1-7120 Fleur Border Basics die set in white cardstock and adhere it to the top piece of the panel. Adhere both edges to the card front as shown. Add the effect of snow to the cardinals with Dries White glue on the snow on the branches and add Frosting Powder and heat for a sparkly effect.
Die cut two of the frames in white cardstock from the HCD1-7146 Festive Holiday die set

Using Dries Clear glue and a damp sponge wipe the edges of the poinsettias and sprinkle Crystal Clear over it. The moisture of the sponge will allow the vellum to curl. Assemble the flowers and add a clear sparkle to the centres, then adhere to the card as shown.

Watch this tutorial for tips on using the Festive Holly collection here.
Instructions: Cut 7 pieces of red Cardstock at 4 x 12", 7 pieces of Green Cardstock at 4 x 11", 7 pieces of Crème Cardstock at 4 x 10". Fold all pieces in half, glue the red ones on top of each other when they are folded. On the Green and the Crème pieces you put tape at the end of both short sides, you can see how to do this on my blog. Now put the Green ones in between the Red ones and tape the sides on top of each other. Now on the Crème ones you cut a shape out of the middle of the right side (you can use any shape you like) then you tape the Crème ones (only the left side) in between the Green ones like you did with the other color, don’t tape the right side yet because we are going to put a pattern paper behind the opening. In the paper pad you will find lots of images that you can use as a background, after you put the background in you can tape the right side down.
For the cover you cut gray board at 4 ¼ x 6 ¼ Cover this with pattern paper, take a piece of bookbinders tape and fold this around the spine then you can get your ribbon and tape this on the top to the back, now you can glue your covers on the album.
For the Shaker box on the cover, I used an empty spool cover the inside and outside of the spool. Now glue an image from the paper pad inside the spool and put some Crystal Clear in it. Diecut a circle from clear acetate and glue on top of spool. Diecut a circle frame using two scalloped dies on designer paper and glue this on top to complete the shaker box spool. Diecut 2 decorative arches from white cardstock and adhere them on the cover creating a circle. Adhere shaker box onto cover using hot glue. Add gold corner stickers onto corners.
Stamp Holly Berries in black ink onto white cardstock diecut with coordinating die. Color, and shape them and glue them on top of the shaker box, add some frosty accent on the berries and some 3D snow at last you can put some tiny snowflake stickers on the cover.
On each page choose designer paper and decorate as desired. I added more holly berries along the diecut frames inside.

Instructions: My card size is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2". You can find instructions for these flip cards on Youtube and Pinterest with dimensions as well. Make your card base and then cover the panels with pieces of the paper collection. I used the Spellbinders dies to cut out the circles for the front and back swing panels. Glue these down.
Next I stamped the cardinals, the wedding bells and the sleigh bells using black Memento ink on white cardstock. Diecut the images using the coordinating dies. I used the Dove Blender Pen and Memento and Distress Inks to color the images. I added Frosting Powder to the limbs behind the cardinals and used a heat gun to set this and it turned white with the heat. I added glitter to the bells and holly and set them aside to dry. When dry add the cardinals and the bells to the center circles. Next I used the sponge and added glue and then dabbed it over the front and back panels then I added the Crystal Clear to that to give a bit more interest to the card. After I colored the Sleigh Bells I added dimensional tape to the back of the bells and adhered them to the front. Then I used dimensional tape to the whole image and adhered it to the card front. Glue down Medallion and then hot glue the string of pearls to the edge. Next I used the tags die to cut out one of the tags from the paper collection and using the dimensional tape I glued it to the front circle. The card is ready.

Instructions: The finished size of this card is 7" x 10" (17.5 cm x21.5 cm). Taking the white card-stock make a book fold card base. Find and taking the design paper from the collection, use the basic matting spellbinder dies to make the 2 layers of matting. Use the largest size die and a smaller size. Distress the edges of both paper cuts.
Taking the Decorative Arch die and the Spellbinders Oval die, Diecut 2 arches and an oval on designer paper. Randomly sprinkle the embossing powder on designer mat and oval. From underneath the paper, apply the heat to melt the powder. This will give you a look of falling snow. If you do it from the top the powder will blow away. Cut extra ovals from the white card stock and adhere beneath the finished design paper oval. Apply Peeled Paint ink to the edges of the oval. Adhere both matting layers to the card front then the 2 arches to form a frame for the oval. Adhere the oval with the 3d foam dots.
Stamp, colour and die cut the cardinals x 2. For one of the cuts trim away the birds and discard. Apply the puffy paint to the snow and finish with glitter before it dries.

Watch this tutorial for tips on using the Festive Holly collection here.
Instructions: Finished Card size 6" x 7". Score a 6" x 12" piece of Pearl White Metallic cardstock on the long side at 3" and 6". Fold in half and then make a mountain fold at the 3" score line.
Cut a 6 x 6" square from Pearl White Metallic Cardstock. Adhere this piece directly onto card base from the edge to the 3" fold. Cut two more 6" x 6" pieces of Pearl White Metallic cardstock and score at 1 1/2" and 3" and make mountain folds. Slide one under the other to about 1 1/2" and glue together. Adhere to bottom of card base. Cut designer paper from the paper pad as shown - one at 5 7/8" x 5 7/8" (stamp sentiment in black ink), one at 5 7/8" x 2 7/8" and four at 5 7/8" x 1 3/8". Ink the edges with Memento Summer Sky and adhere to the card base using Dries Clear glue.
Stamp all stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and die cut using coordinating dies. Distress the edges of the fence with Memento London Fog. Dab all of the 3D Stamp Paints on clear cardstock, spritz with water and paint all the images with a paint brush blending some of the colors together. Shape the images with Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, add Dries White Adhesive here and there and sprinkle with Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow. Adhere everything to the card base using Dries Clear Adhesives and dimensionals.
Adhere the bells to the bell strap using hot glue gun. Dot the Nuvo Crystal Drops all over the paper base and sprinkle with the Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow. Add Dries Clear Adhesive to the image on the designer paper and sprinkle with Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter.
