Tin of Tags Card

I have had so much fun making cards using the same sketch as a starting point.  Today, I am sharing another Christmas card.  Last time I used papers to create the images, but this time the stamps from the Tin of Cards provide the design.

The words are stamped and heat embossed using copper embossing powder.  I first saw heat embossing a (very) long time ago, but I still love how applying heat magically changes the powder to reveal the shiney raised finished image.  The copper metallic thread adds a little more sparkle.

Here are the two Christmas cards together...

Which do you prefer? Punching the pretty paper or stamping and heat embossing?
