In my card swap group the tech challenge for November was to follow this Jennifer McGuire Ink video on Heat Embossed Embossing Folder for our card.
Here's the reference for you:

My finished card~
For this project I used the Darice Swirling Leaves embossing folder and silver embossing powder.
I die cut the panel using Gina Marie Designs Drop Pendant die set and then mounted the panel on a black top fold A2 card base about a 1/4' from the top.
I die cut the hanging ornament using the Memory Box Cabrini Ornament and the holly patterned paper. Then I die cut the top area again using the green dotted Swiss paper to get the leaves and stem; and again using a tiny scrap of red to get the berries.
Next I carefully secured each of the pieces back together on top of the silver embossed panel. I had left the gap at the top for a ribbon and bow but found that it really took away from the design. Instead I decided to add the strips of thin washi tape across the top. Lastly I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment and die cut it using the Penny Black's Elegant Stitching die. I did of course add a white panel inside for writing.
