Merry Christmas Mini Tryfold

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! We are on a downhill slide into the last weekend in January… can you believe it?! I’m absolutely thrilled to share a project that I’m entering into the Art Impressions #367 – You’re A Gem challenge! I totally love Art Impressions products and have quite a few in my stash… some used quite a few times and some that have never been used. This Christmas card features the super adorable Nativity Circlet Mini Tryfold stamps and dies (used for the first time) with some really pretty sapphire gemstones added to it!

I cut a mini tryfold card base from 110# Solar White cardstock and then used the Nativity Circlet Mini Tryfold stamps (stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink) and dies to create each part of the scene on the three sections. I can’t even tell you how much fun it is watching the scene come alive!

I colored each panel with alcohol markers and added a sentiment (stamped in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink) from the Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments stamp set which I cut with the coordinating Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments die. The final touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Sparkling Sapphire Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)

  1. Oh, I love this manger scene and the card structure format !!! Awesome!! The stable/barn scene is precious and having that additional country outdoor view just adds to the rural feel of what Bethlehem, Israel was 2,000 years ago. Thanks for sharing at FQCCCB! –Becca
