HD Christmas Classics - The Nativity #2


A few days ago (on the 16th) I posted a Gate Fold Marquee card made from The Nativity card topper set (Hunkydory Christmas Classics Luxury Card Collection).  This is the 2nd card made from that set.  It is an easel card. 

NOTE: only when I got to the Christmas Greetings topper set did I realize that I had paired one of the wrong card stock pieces with this set, so much of the patterned card stock you see here is from the Christmas Greetings topper set - though still the HD Christmas Classics collection.

Materials:
  • HD Christmas Classics Luxury Card Collection
  • HD The Essential Book of Christmas Sentiments 2016
  • 5" x 7" white card base
Method:
  • Card Base:  I folded along the pre-scored line as usual.  Then I scored & folded the card FRONT in half again parallel to the other fold.  
  • Card Front: I cut a piece 7" wide from coordinating adorable scorable card stock.  I cut it 5" high and set the remaining border piece aside for the inside of the card.  I glued my 5" x 7" piece to just the BOTTOM HALF of the card front.  I glued a border strip (from the kit) along the bottom.  Centered the focal die cut and added it with foam tape.  Then added the sentiment (from the Essential book) - again with foam tape.
  • Inside: I glued the border piece (left over from card front) to the bottom of the inside of the card.  The only other thing it needed was a sentiment (from Essential book) on foam tape to serve as a stopper to hold the easel card as seen in the picture above.
