Nativity Card

Supplies:
 
Stamps: Peaceful Nativity, For Unto Us
Inks: Night of Navy, Early Espresso and Memento Tuxedo Black
Stampin’ Blends: Ivory, Light Cinnamon Cider, Dark Soft Suede, Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light and Dark Balmy Blue, Dark Smoky Slate, Light So Saffron and Dark Night of Navy
Stampin’ Write Marker: Bumblebee
Cardstock:  Night of Navy – three pieces; one piece cut to 4 1/4” x 5 ½” and one cut to 3 ¼” x 5”
Whisper White – three pieces; one piece cut to 1” x 5 1/4”, one cut to 2 ½’ x 4” and one piece cut to 3” x 5”
Crumb Cake – one piece cut to 3” x 4”
Smoky Slate – one piece cut to 2” x 2 ½”
Designer Series Paper (DSP): Brightly Gleaming (see photo for pattern used) – three pieces, one piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼”, one cut to 2 ½” x 4” and one cut to 1 ¼: x 6 ½”
Accessories:  Adhesive of choice, Tear n’ Tape or Tombow adhesive, Nativity dies, Stampin’ Trimmer and Blender Pen
 
Directions:

 Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP to the 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of Night of Navy Cardstock.  Score this piece at 2 ¾” creating a fold down the middle. Score the 3 ¼” x 5” piece of Night of Navy cardstock along the 5” side at ½”, 2 ½” and 4 ½”.  (Tip, if you are creating a different card and want to stamp directly on this panel, make the 2 ½” score AFTER you have stamped your image).  Use the Early Espresso ink to stamp the stable image onto the Crumb Cake cardstock.  Use the blender pen to blend the Early Espresso ink so the top of the stable and the wooden pieces have a blended color. Cut out the image using the coordinating die from the Nativity Dies.  Use Memento ink to stamp the Mary, Joseph and Baby images and the sheep image onto the 3” x 5” piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Color the Mary, Joseph and Baby image as follows:  Ivory blends for their hands and faces, Light Cinnamon Cider Blends for their hair, Light and Dark Crumb Cake Blends for Joseph’s robe and the base of the manger, Light and Dark Balmy Blue Blends for Mary’s robe (leave the head piece white) and Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker for the hay in the manger.  There will be a white edge left by the die cut around the edge.  I chose to color mine around the outside of the image so it would blend in with the Night of Navy background.   Before cutting, I colored around the outside of the image with the Dark Night of Navy Blends and I used Light So Saffron around the Baby to give him a glow.  Color the Sheep using Ivory Blends for it’s face and Dark Smoky Slate Blends for its hooves.  Cut both pieces out using the coordinating dies from the Nativity Dies.  Use Memento ink to stamp the Donkey image onto the 2” x 2 ½” piece of Smoky Slate cardstock.  Color the hooves with the Dark Smoky Slate Blends.  Cut out using the coordinating die from the Nativity Dies.  Adhere the Stable piece and the Mary, Joseph and Baby images to the 3 ¼” x 5” piece of Night of Navy Cardstock using the center score line as a guide to center the pieces.  Place Tear ‘n Tape onto the ½” scored ends to the 3 ¼” x 5” Night of Navy piece and adhere to the card base (see photo for placement) aligning the center score lines.  Use Night of Navy to stamp the sentiment onto the 1” x 5 ¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut the ends of this piece to resemble a banner. Set aside. Score the 1 ¼” x 6 ½” piece of DSP at ½” from each end. Adhere the sentiment piece to the DSP.  Use Tombow adhesive to attach the Sheep image and the Donkey image onto the Banner/DSP piece.  (see photo for placement)  Use Tear ‘n Tape or Tombow to adhere this piece to the card base, wrapping the ½” sections to the back.  On the back of the card base, adhere the 2 ½” x 4” piece of Whisper White cardstock on the left hand side and the 2 ½” x 4” piece of DSP to the right side.

Directions:

 Use Old Olive ink to stamp the trees (see photo for images used) and Early Espresso to stamp two trunks onto the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  Use the coordinating Stitched Triangle dies to cut out the trees.  Cut the tree trunks by hand leaving some white at the top of each trunk to allow it to be attached to the tree with a Mini Glue Dot or Tombow adhesive.  Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the sentiment onto the ¾”x 3 ½” piece of Whisper White cardstock toward the right side of the piece.  Use the Banners Pick a Punch to make a banner end on the piece.  Set this piece and the trees aside.  Slide the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP into the clear envelope.  Place some Snowflake Sequins into the envelope as well.  Wrap the excess of the clear envelope to the back of this piece and secure with regular tape.  Wrap the 1 ½” x 5 ½” piece of DSP around this piece (see photo for placement) and secure the the back with either regular tape or adhesive, adhere the smaller of the two trees close to the right edge of the card front aligning the trunk of the tree with the bottom of the strip of DSP.  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the larger tree also aligning the trunk of the tree with the bottom of the strip of DSP. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to this piece trimming the left side of the sentiment piece even with the left side of the card front.    .  Line the back edges of the card front with Tear ‘n Tape placing as close to the edges as possible.  Remove the liner from the tape and adhere to the card base.
