For my first card, I die cut the Two-Tiered Ornament Die with Brushed Gold Cardstock I stitched the details using gold thread and embellished it with a few Spectrum AB Color Essentials Gems. I added strips of solid-colored cardstock to create a colorful background. For the sentiment, I used the Mini Christmas Sentiments Strips Glimmer Hot Foil & Die Set with Gold Foil.

For my second card, I die-cut the Two-Tiered Ornament Die into white cardstock and created a shaker window. I added more strips of solid-colored cardstock to the shaker background and filled it with clear sequins. For the ornament topper, I used Gold Pop-Up Die Cutting Glitter Foam Sheets. I added two leaves to the top of the ornament using dies from Day 2 of the Stitchmas Advent Calendar. For the sentiment, I used another sentiment from the Mini Christmas Sentiments Strips Glimmer Hot Foil & Die Set with Gold Foil.
