Wrapping up Christmas - Part 2

 Thanks for stopping by.

Well here we are at the end of another year.  I'm sharing today the last 2 Christmas cards that I made for 2024

Card #1

First up is this wonderful Nativity card - (Unity Stamps - Born For Us).  

Card Base: Gorgeous Grape, Patterned paper is from an old pad I've had for years.

Image Stamped with Memento Tuxedo ink & colored with pencils.  Added white snow splatters and some sharing.  Stars in the sky have tiny gems on them. - Added a piece of green/gold rimmed ribbon and mounted with foam tape.  

Dies: Rectangle & fishtail.

Card #2

This was a super CAS card done using: Unity Stamps (Guided by Grace) and sentiment is from an old SU set: (For Unto Us)

Card Base: Night of Navy

Image was stamped on Basic White card stock with Versamark Ink and embossed with Cobalt Tapestry embossing powder.  It's a dark blue with flecks of gold in it. - The sentiment was stamped with Gold ep from SU.  I added some dark blue gems to the sides of the card.  Great for a quick yet elegant looking card.

Happy New Year & I'll be back soon in 2025 with new cards to share.

Peace on Earth#4 - I couldn't resist a second card!

 

 Yes, I just had to do a second card for the Peace On Earth Challenge #4

 

Again the inspiration/mood board:

 

For my second card I went again with the colors of the inspiration board and did a religious card.  My mom always sent out cards celebrating the birth of Christ at Christmas time so again this one is a reminder of her faith to me.

 

 The card base is Basic Black. Then I layered it with a piece of a blue card stock (Paper Studio) and a piece of patterned paper that I found at JoAnn Fabric.  This paper was so cool.  It has an almost felt like texture to it and had sparkly silver stars and blotches of blue against a black back ground.  It really reminds me of the night sky.

I stamped the Nativity (Inkadinkado - O Holy Night) with Night of Navy ink on Basic White cs.  Then I added a tiny touch of glitter around the halo of baby Jesus.  I layered that onto a circle of the same blue card stock.  The sentiment is from: SU - For Unto Us stamp set and I stamped it on white cs with Memento Tuxedo black ink.

I embossed the star, also from the For Unto Us stamp set on black card stock with Silver embossing powder and fussy cut it out.  Then mounted it with foam tape and added a light blue gem to the center of the star.

I really like how this one turned out.
