Z- Fold Nativity Christmas card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I have managed to get lots of things sorted out this week which is good.

I have been really enjoying the November Challenge at Beccy's Place challenges. This will be my last post for the challenge. I can't believe that November will be over so soon.

I had made a z-fold card with some dies from John Next Door and I wondered if the same idea would work with the Scenic Nativity Border dies from Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. In addition I used the Bethlehem Border die from Taylored Expressions and the Starry Night sky die from Creative Expressions. The Peace die is from Creative Expressions to.

I did cut some extra camels and palm trees. I like to decorate right to the bottom of the panels.

When the card was finished the manger scene was in black. I felt that it didn't show up enough. So I cut another in gold and used the black as a shadow. I do like it when you have an idea and it works out.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? It has just been so hot. I do find it hard to get on with jobs. My laptop gets very hot which makes it hard to use in the hot weather. On the plus side I have been able to test clothes that I am taking to Malta to see how comfortable they are in the heat.

I am hosting the new challenge that starts at the Crafty Catz Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Summer Fun. The fabulous sponsor is Paper Shelter.

The backing paper at the backing was an old one from back when I made a card for the long gone Quick Cards Made Easy magazine. I added bunting at the top made with Tattered Lace dies.

Our fantastic sponsor has wonderful images in the store. If you click on the logo you will be taken there.

This image is called Summer Attitude and she is available HERE. There seem to be quite a few images on sale at the moment including this one. I found an image to use as a background and I used the pre-coloured image from the set.

I have been asked to make a tropical themed wedding card and I bought the Tim Holtz Tropical Sizzix die set for that card. It was so good to be able to try our the dies on this card as they fitted with the image so well.
