Holy Night Nativity Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some nativity Christmas cards featuring our Holy Night Stamps.

My first card showcasing the Holy Night Stamps utilizes as many images from the set as I could squeeze onto my A2-sized card panel. Before adhering any images, however, I started by inking the center of my card panel with Mustard Seed Distress Ink. I then hand-cut a curved mask, taking turns using both halves. For the ground, I inked the bottom of the card with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. For the sky, I added Mermaid Lagoon around the glowing yellow center and then layered on Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire Distress ink around the outer edges. To add additional layers to the nativity scene, I incorporated the palm trees from the Sending Sunshine Stamps and the Tropical Scenes Stamps. I then heat-embossed the glimmering star above the baby Jesus and the sentiment from the Holy Night set, before adding white dots for stars to the sky with a gel pen.

For my second card, I used that same curved mask I had fussy cut with my scissors for the first card to ink the light ray layers for the shining Star of Bethlehem. I first started by inking the center of my card panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then took turns inking the two outer corners with Chipped Sapphire and re-adjusted the mask to rotate down on each corner before inking each side again with Salty Ocean. Finally, I removed all the masks and inked from the outside edges of the panel with Mermaid Lagoon, fading towards the center to leave it lightest with the Tumbled Glass ink peeking through. When I was done, I thoroughly dried the cardstock panel with my heat gun and used anti-static powder to prepare the surface for embossing the stars.

Next, I cut a curved stitched hill using the Slimline Nature Border Dies and blended Antique Linen with Vintage Photo along the bottom corners, which would be darker and further from the light. Once I had the stable, Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus roughly laid in place from the Holy Night Stamps, I took turns stamping the stars from the Baby Elephants Stamps and heat-embossing with White Detail Embossing Powder and Wow! Opaque Pastel Blue embossing powder. I then added the smallest two twinkly star images from the Holy Night set and filled in with some white dots, which were added with a gel pen. Lastly, I heat-embossed a sentiment in white from the Inside Greetings Christmas Stamps.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
