Hello again! I am so excited about today's Papertrey Ink group post and hope you'll enjoy your visit and will enjoy seeing all of the new products in action. We are celebrating Christmas today with our focus on the Nativity, and this is something that is very special to me all year round, but never more than at Christmastime.
My card uses the new Petite Places: Nativity stamp set across the bottom using Smokey Shadow ink. I adhered a die cut star, cut from gold glittered cardstock, using the new Scene It: Bethlehem die. I then used a sentiment from the new O Holy Night stamp set, stamping it across my card using Fine Linen ink.
I die cut my "Christmas", also from gold glittered cardstock, using the new Christmas Cheer dies, and adhered it over my O Holy Night sentiments, adding a beginning to my phrase, which is from the Christmas Cheer stamp set as well. The beautiful, intricate border is from the new Petite Ornament: Square die. I used paper from the Holiday Flourishes and Swirls paper pad across the top of my card.
The Nativity products work so perfectly for tags as well as cards, and that's what I've created here, starting with the new Scene It: Bethlehem die. I used paper again from the Holiday Flourishes & Swirls paper pad, stamping my scene directly onto it, and adding a die cut stable.
I backed my scene with gold glittered cardstock, cut using the Scene It: Basic Backer die and a couple of die cut Fancy Flakes.
I added my sentiment at the top, stamped using the new O Holy Night stamp set, and stamped onto a die cut Tremendous Tag.
Lastly, I created a dimensional ornament, using the new Snowflake Medallion die and adhering my die cut and stamped Petite Places: Nativity scene to the center of it.
Once again I used the Scene It: Basic Backer die behind my snowflake, and added a sentiment from the Petite Places: Nativity stamp set onto a Tiny Tag.
I love celebrating Christmas with the Nativity and all that happened leading up to Christ's birth at the center of our celebrations, so these thoughtful products are the perfect way to bring that true meaning into our hearts and lives while creating for others.
Thank you for visiting once again!

I like the way you stamped a border from the elements in the nativity scene. That was something different from the other designers. That is why it is so nice to see what all of you do. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Hi Melissa,
OMG!!!!!! What a SHOW STOPPER you brought us today!!!!
Your imagination has no boundaries and your class act taste is simply DIVINE!!! All of your projects are show stoppers, but the one that made my heart skip a beat and then when I focused it stopped completely was the card, I tell you girl I wish I could be you for just a moment, that will make my day!
I will tell you what I told Heather, which I have named The Queen Of Kraft, and now I shall name you "The Goddess of Whimsy and Class". Well , I told her that we can go on business together,I will ask also Betsy,whom I shall name "The Empress of Imagination" and Erin whom I will name "The Governess Of Stitching" , I will book events with humongous screens that will read all of your names and you will do what you do best! We all will be rich and happy, will donate some of the money to charity and I specially will be ecstatic just for the fact that I will have ALL THE MONEY in the WORLD to buy anything that my heart desires from PTI. But most exciting for me will be meeting all of you and then call you my friends! ..... Well a girl can dream...right? I hope you laugh out loud with this and don't issue a protective order on me!
Cariños,
María Alba
