Nativity Inspiration...

Papertrey Ink has a new nativity stamp set and some dies coming out this month, so today we are previewing the new products. My first project is a very easily mass produced tag that you could use on a package or napkin wrap like I have done here. This tag is cut with the new Minute To Make: Holiday Tags die and stamped with Petite Places: Nativity.

A bit of garland is wrapped around the napkin, and I made a sugar coated candy cane (with pipe cleaners and fine glitter). I might use real ones for my dinner table, but these are pretty cute too. :)



O Holy Night tag:
STAMPS: Petite Places: Nativity
INK: True Black, Pure Poppy

PAPER: White cardstock, red plaid - Simple Stories' Summer Fresh

DIES: Minute To Make Holiday Tags
OTHER: pipe cleaners, fine glitter, jingle bell, garland - craft supply, tinsel - Melissa Frances.

Here is a card with Petite Places: Nativity. I'm not going to lie...I have a hard time knowing what colors to use with the nativity set. So this one is a little unconventional. Papers are from the Nostalgic Notions kit. I can't wait to see what everyone else did with this set.

The steeple is cut from a new die called Petite Ornament: Square. I just used the front of it, not the whole die, backed it with more Nostalgic Notions paper and then added some pieces from Petite Places: Nativity dies.

O Holy Night card:
STAMPS: Petite Places: Nativity
INK: Enchanted Evening, Summer Sunrise
PAPER: White cardstock, Nostalgic Notions paper
DIES: Petite Ornament: Square, Petite Places: Nativity
OTHER: twine, sequin - Pretty Pink Posh, chipboard star- Pink Paislee.

The next project is a little 3D ornament and a sleeve to tuck it into.
To create the layers on the ornament, I used some new dies called Scene It: Bethlehem, and it's backed with the Scene It: Scalloped Tag Base.
This sleeve is die cut with the Front & Center #1 die and folded in half to create the pocket.


Oh Come Let Us Adore Him ornament and sleeve:
STAMPS: Petite Places: Nativity
INK: Enchanted Evening
PAPER: white, Classic Kraft; Simple Stories - Summer Fresh
DIES: Petite Places: Nativity, Front and Center die
OTHER: Pure Poppy ribbon, chipboard stars - Pink Paislee, gold tape, twine, fine glitter.

The "sleeve" for the ornament tag is so pretty too. Wish you would have shown a photograph of the of ornament tucked into the sleeve.

Both projects are gorgeous but I adore that card you made with the Nostalgic Notions paper as a background. It's a gem :) Wow!
