Nativity Tunnel Card

Merry Christmas, everyone!

It's Nancy back with you! I have the most suitable project to share with you today!
Of all the Christmas projects I made this year, I think this is my favorite!
To me...this is Christmas!


This is the Nativity Tunnel Card!
It's a fantastic file, and so much fun to make!
Knowing that I was going to ink my background, I cut the piece out of bristol paper.
The three design layers were cut from black cardstock,
and the star layer piece was cut from gold foil.


Using an ink blending tool, and several of my blue Distress Inks, I inked the background piece.
I followed the ink order from left to right, beginning in the center, and working my way out. 


Then I mixed a drop of white acrylic paint, some white PearlEx powder, and some water. 
Using a small paint brush, I spattered some stars in the sky. 
Some are big, some are small, some run together and look like shooting stars! ;o)


Although this card looks complicated, it is the simplest design to put together. 
Look at the fabulous detail and dimension!


When I first saw the star, I wanted to use the new Kells Gold Gilding Powder on it.
Since there was a fold in the middle, I opted to cut it out of gold foil instead.
Once I had it all assembled, I decided I really wanted a gilded star. 
I cut out another star layer, inked it with embossing ink, and heat embossed it with the Kells Gold.
I loosely adhered it on top of the gold foil star. 
Now if I want to fold the card up, I simply remove the gilded star, and fold it up!


I couldn't get a photo to show the beautiful shimmer of the stars,
so you'll have to use your imagination!


Here's a top view of the card:

Easy Christmas Cards with the Twiggy Wreath Monogram Font

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with two Christmas cards I created using the Twiggy Wreath Monogram font designed by Suzanne Cannon and available in the Silhouette Design store.  Super easy and super quick!!






Just print the word Joy onto cardstock and embellish with pens and fine glitter glue to add colour and texture.  Mat on one or more layers of cardstock, put onto a card base and you're done.  Try printing with or on different colours.  White cardstock is handy but I think the kraft looks kind of classy.  Wasn't that easy?   Merry Christmas!!

Supplies Used:  cardstock, Twiggy Wreath Monogram font, Sakura gel pens, Rangers Stickles glitter glue, Close to My Heart embossing folder, cheesecloth.
