The snowflake background is done with the Ornamental Snowflake set from The Angel Company. I used starry night Palette ink to stamp them and then lightly sponged on some additional ink.The Angel (TAC) is stamped on vellum in Memento Tuxedo Ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I turned it over and colored her dress with Copic Markers. The wings are done in a two step process. Taking your stylus and a mouse pad, burnish or dry emboss the wings, being careful not to press too hard otherwise you will go through the vellum. After that is done, I used a white Sharpie paint pen and colored it all white. When you turn it over, the results are striking! Using sharp scissors, I trimmed all around it.
To get the Angel to adhere to the cardstock, I got out my Xyron and made it a sticker. The lattice border punch from MS came in handy to decorate the edges of the snowflake background and the navy cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year!
This one is done with flower soft in polar white. The tree is stamped in Palette Jardin Moss first, cut out with an oval nestability and then I got busy with the glue. I daubered on some soft thatched straw chalk ink from Versamagic to create the glow around the tree and then added a bit over the sentiment (PTI). The green designer paper is from Kaisercraft and it's embossed with the plaid embossing folder from Provo Craft. 
The snowflake stamp is from The Angel Company. For the tea lights, I stamped the snowflake onto tissue paper, cut it out with a circle nestability, punched a hole in middle for the wick and then melted it into the tea lights.
Measurements:
Designer paper is from Daisy D's and the colors in it really work well with the image that I stamped. I used markers to color the image and did the huff method to reactivate the ink. The sentiment stamp is one that I designed myself and had Vicki over at Victorine Originals make up for me. I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black and then punched it out with the window word punch. 
I have an old Sizzix die called Holly and Berries that I used to cut the grunge board out with. They are both colored with alcohol inks in Willow and Cranberry. I got a little creative on the edges and colored them in with a blending stump dipped in the alcohol ink. 
The evergreen branch stamp is from Victorine Originals and it's stamped in Palette Jardin Moss several times. I popped up the poinsettia with some foam tape but prior to it being added between the evergreen branches, I punched a hole for the stamen to go through. I used that fabulous MS punch and punched out a few brown branches and added them behind the poinsettias to balance it off. The sentiment is also from V.O. and is stamped in Palette Jardin Moss. 
The moose is colored with Copic Markers and is from The Angel Company (retired). The color of the red is garnet R39, but it's looking kind of pinkish in the picture. This card ended up being very country or masculine looking! 
The set also comes with three evergreen tree's and I stamped and colored those, cut them out and glued them to the inside of the card (you can see it on the lower left hand side in the first picture). Since I'm just finishing up all my Christmas cards - the inside sayings - I have now decided that I'm going to finish off as many cards on the inside as I possibly can! It was the pits having to go back and add them at a later date!
The designer paper is Reese from The Angel Company. The ornaments and sentiment are stamped directly on the tan layer with versamark and then embossed in gold embossing powder.
The santa is stamped in vintage photo distress ink from Ranger and embossed. The snowflakes are stamped in the same ink. The paper is from the Reese paper collection from TAC. The grosgrain ribbon is called scarlet jewel from PTI .
The butterfly is colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I stamped two of them, colored half of the one in back, cut out the other and then popped it up on foam tape so that it appears to be flying. 
Card base is 4.25 x 5.5. I did add another layer behind layer #1 that measures 4 x 5.25. Layer 1 is 3 x 4 and layers 2A and B are 2 x 2.5. They are all matted with a 1/16 layer. The sentiment panel is a labels die from Spellbinders.
I started off making a master board with stamping the snowflakes ramdomly in pure poppy and sky gray inks. The red cardstock is ran through the new snowflake embossing folder from Provo Craft and taped in place. I learned the hard way that the gray pigment ink needs a bit of time to dry, so I stamped the seniment and the tag outline then ran it through the labels spellbinders die. I also took a dauber and outlined the label with the pure poppy ink. 
Congratulations to Natalie Houston! Here is what the mystery blog Candy looks like! A note worthy embellishment jar from Making Memories(Audrey collection - buttons and flowers), three stamp sets from The Angel Company and......
I did include some "real" candy in the mix too! Congratulations, Natalie! And - thanks to all of you out there for leaving me some very nice comments.
This stamp is from Great Impressions and is colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. The new snowflake embossing folder from Provo Craft was used on the base of this card. The snowflake stamp around the scallops is from Stamps by Judith and done with craft white ink. The tag is cut from Spellbinders nestabilities! 
This is probably my oldest snowman stamp! It's from Hampton Arts and is colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. The sentiment is from PTI and the designer paper are from K&Company. Deckled nesties were used to cut out the main image and the dark red layer.
This stamp is from Great Impressions and it's acutally a square of 3 snowman plus the sentiment. It's stamped in Memories black dye ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I used glaze gel pens to color his nose and accessories! Pure poppy card stock was scored twice on each end, then I cut the snowmen apart and popped them up using foam tape. The snowflakes are from Provo Craft and cut out with the CB. I added a bit of Vanilla Shimmer spray from Smooch to them, but it's hard to see in the photo.
The MSC latice border punch was used on the bottom of the blue panel - I think this has to be my favorite border punch!
The tree branch is stamped in Palette Jardin Moss and embossed with clear powder. The ornaments and the sentiment are stamped in versamark and then embossed with gold powder. The base of the card is white and covered with Reece paper from TAC, I also added a strip of the striped paper to the right side. Continuing with the gold theme I added a bunch of self adhesive gold dots to it. The trick is to get them on straight!!! So, what do you think?
