I finally got a chance to pull out my glitter pastes the other day and couldn't resist making several cards at once!! The new Honey Bee Stamps Poinsettia Background stencil is FABULOUS - if you missed my Release & Review video you can check it out here:

Now back to the cards:
For my first card I sponged Distress Inks over the stencil, and then die cut and stacked the Holly Jolly sentiment and stamped the rest with Versafine Onyx Black ink.
For the remaining three cards I applied Tonic's Nuvo Glimmer Paste over the stencil onto Tonic's Mirror (aka foil) card stocks - the end result is SOOOOO pretty!!
For all the sentiments I'd die cut and stacked sentiments from Honey Bee's Fa La La wafer dies. I ran all the card stock (and glitter paper in the first card) through my little Xyron Sticker Maker, peeled the backing off and then stacked them to 3 layers for the depth and dimension. Then I simply peeled off the backing on the bottom layer and stuck them to the cards.
I finished off all the cards with crystals from Studio Katia - I am obsessed with the July pack especially as they're perfect for Christmas cards!!
I finished off the insides of the cards with Honey Bee's Merry & Bright stamp set and that was it!
