I went to my local Spotlight store today as I had a 40% discount code and I've been eyeing up some Jasart Metallic paints... at $47 - I was waiting till I got a good discount voucher. While I was there I picked up a Crafters Choice DIY Kit for around $10.
All the cards use the ephemera die cuts from the kit and some of the patterned paper.
This one used a design from Jess Crafts- this was part of her session on the Stress Free Cardmaking Summit. Great design/sketch. The sentiment is from a Crafters Choice stamp set, embossed with silver power. A few silver pearls. I used both sides of the paper.
Another one using the Jess Craft sketch and another die cut ephemera. Used some Peelcraft stickers for the sentiment.
This one used on of the ephemera on top of a red embossed panel splatter with some of the gold paint from my new paints. Added the wreath and added some gold paint dots and some red gems. The foiled sentiment is from Spellbinder's Yana;s Christmas Sentiments hot foil and dies.
This design is another from the Stress Free Cardmaking Summit - from the session by Craft Al. For my embossed background I inked with some Festive Berries Distress Ink and ran it through my machine with a Tim Holtz folder and one of his diffusers - the oval inner portion. This lets the folder only emboss where you add the oval diffuser. Another of the sentiments from the Spellbinders hot foil and die set. I'm entering this one into the current - Just Us Girls challenge.... CAS - use just the centre of your card 
and the final one - which I think is my favourite
This uses some of the patterned paper and the plain paper. The sentiment is from the Crafters Choice set embossed with some Rose Gold powder. Add a thin strip of green mirri card above and below the sentiment panel.
There is so much of the kit left so I'll be using it up to boost my Christmas card stash.
