Partial Embossing Revisited

These two cards are made in a very similar way to those made yesterday.  So I won't go through the whole technique here - just give an updated supply list.  So for the first one, seen above:

• Stamps used: "Home for the Holidays" set (HOTP), set in a paper crafting magazine (Simply Cards & Papercraft Issue 195).  
• Dazzles: "Ho Ho Ho", borders, jewels (HOTP).  
• Inks: Salty Ocean Distress ink (Ranger) & darker blue shades from my stash.
• Gel Pen: I think I may have previously forgotten to mention the white gel pen (Signo Uni-ball - best I've found for this by far) used to add snow/stars effect - in the sky & on the house/trees.  This time I used it to draw in the moon, too, since I forgot to mask it! 
• Embossing Powder: fine black from my stash (used on the sentiment)
• Scraps: turquoise card stock (sentiment), blue mylar (border)
• Shimmer Spritz: I found I wanted just a touch of shimmer, so used the prepared partial embossing diffuser to mask the embossed area so I could spray just the focal circle.

For this second one:

• Stamps used: "Home for the Holidays" & "Welcome Home" sets (HOTP), Woodland Critters (Heartfelt Creations), Stampscapes
• Dazzles: borders, jewels
• Inks: Salty Ocean Distress ink (Ranger) & darker blue shades from my stash.
• Gel Pen: I think I may have previously forgotten to mention the white gel pen (Signo Uni-ball - best I've found for this by far) used to add snow/stars effect - in the sky & on the house/trees.  This time I used it to draw in the moon, too, since I forgot to mask it!
• Scraps: black card stock from my stash
• Ribbon: 1/4" black satin (for bow), 1/8" blue satin with silver edges, silver words on white satin - both from my stash (no idea where I got them) 
• Shimmer Spritz
