Nativity Christmas Cards

These cards were part of a 6-card custom Christmas card order. Each of the 6 cards has the same basic layout using the same patterned paper (with the exception of the strip across the front which is different for the three pairs). I chose this line of paper from SEI (called Holly Lane, I think it’s at least a couple years old) because of its simplicity and elegance. The friend who ordered these cards from me has a simple, but elegant and beautiful style and I wanted to reflect that in her cards. All of the stamping (the Holy family image, verse and message on the inside) has been embossed with gold. It’s a little difficult to tell in these pictures real well, but the embossing on the front of the card is done on a very light green patterned paper. It’s really subtle, but it coordinates with some of the green in the snowflakes on the background of the card.

Materials: linen weave cardstock from bazzill basics, patterned papers from SEI (Holly Lane line), sentiment and verse stamps from Stampin Up, nativity image stamp from inkadinkadoo, embossing powder from ranger
