I'm getting back to my Christmas Card challenge. For August the prompts were Gold - Nativity.
I chose a set of coordinating designer paper by Graphic 45 - Twas the Night Before Christmas Collection - Twas the Night Before Christmas stripes and HO HO HO Snowflake.
I chose a warm green card and onto which I adhered a piece of snowflake paper to the front leaving a small border.
I cut the label with the Sizzix Frame, Back Ornate #8 die from the striped designer paper. I used the Stampin Up Slot Punch to create holes for the ribbon. I ran a piece of ivory twill tape across the label through the slot and wrapped the ends inside the card and taped them down.
I cut the nativity with the Penny Black Manger die from green card stock. I punched a piece of gold card stock with a 2 inch circle punch. I layered these together and placed it in the center of the label with a gold star brad.
I prefer the design with red cotton ribbon instead of the twill tape. I replaced the gold star brad with a red one.
Keep an eye out as I try to catch up to the challenges I missed. I will be adding them to the first of the appropriate month.
What intricate cards here. I really like that Penny Black die. I am glad I am not the only one playing catch up!
