Christmas Countdown: 8 weeks!

Hello friends! As promised last week here is the simple but elegant Christmas card design in purple (Gorgeous Grape), deep red (Merry Merlot) and deep blue (Night of Navy). I can also make this card in any of the beautiful Stampin’ Up! colours, hence the question mark!!Using a retired stamp set called Joyful Nativity I stamped/cut out the manger scene first:
Next came lots of measuring and cutting of cardstock before stamping the word JOY then adhering the cardstock pieces together. Quality control means some of the stamping gets rejected (ie. ripped up!) which adds to the creative mess 🙂 :

The manger scene has been raised with adhesive foam dots to give added dimension and the star has been attached with a mini glue dot: I’m still working away from home this week with little time to be creative, but I’ll add these new cards to my Etsy shop on the weekend. Thanks so much for visiting today and if you have any questions about the card design, please ask! Megan xo
