For my first card I took all of the Christmas sentiments and attached them to my stamp press, keeping them as close together as possible. Then I stamped the images on to cream cardstock, using VersaMark (or any embossing) ink. I then embossed with gold embossing powder and cut the cardstock into a tree shape (some might call this a triangle). I inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to give the card some more depth. I then dry embossed the green background and a small piece of brown cardstock, which served as my tree trunk. A bunch of twine for a bow, and finishing touch on my tree, and then a sentiment in black, punched out and popped up on the tree, finished my card.
For my second card, I wanted to highlight the New Year stamp so I started by finding an online template for a champagne glass. Once that was printing and cut out of cardstock, I once again used embossing ink and one of the stamps from the Pattern Craze stamp set (love this set!) to stamp the design a few times on the glass. Then I got busy with my silver embossing powder. Once the glass was attached to the card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment, and using one of the small hexagons from the Pattern Craze set, I created champage bubbles! Super fun, right?

Love how you used the sentiments on the tree in the first one, and hexagon bubbles - too clever!
These are both very snazzy! Very creative way to use your sentiment stamps, and I bet in real life the embossing really stands out.
