I used the Drop Nativity die from Memory Box to create this clean and simple (CAS) card.
The nativity image was die cut three times from scraps of Bristol paper and stacked for dimension. The unwanted parts were removed with scissors then a bottom straight edge was trimmed with a paper trimmer.
Next, masked off the bottom area on a Bristol A2 stitched panel from my stash and ink blended Salty Ocean distress ink over a Sunray stencil from Funky Fossil Designs. Removed the stencil and blended the remaining ink on the blender brush to fill in some of the white space. For some shimmer, spritz with a sparkle spray (couldn’t capture it in the photo). White heat embossed the sentiment from My Favorite Things Bitty Holiday Wishes on a black strip, then assembled the card. For a little more sparkle, added a few clear sparkly sequins to finish.
We have Jane (Purplejet Loves Crafts) guest designing this month. Be inspired by what she and my team have created HERE, then come play along with us. The challenge ends July 24 PST, so there is plenty of time. Hope to see you in the gallery. Thank you for joining me.

Gorgeous Nativity card, Trina! So beautiful with the blue rays!!
Absolutely LOVE this card Trina, and what a different look you achieved using the same die as I did...makes me want to get mine out and play again! Lovely, lovely card!! 😊
Oh, so pretty!! Wonderful nativity scene!! And, beautiful blue rays!!
What a pretty nativity CAS card, Trina! Love the stacked white die-cuts against the beautifully stenciled rays! I always admire the way you stretch your supplies (trimming the die-cut in this case).

Great dimension from the stacked die cuts! And so nice to see the rays done in blue instead of the usual gold or yellow - the blue is perfect with the white and the black of the sentiment strip. Love the addition of a few sequins!
love your stencilled background for your nativity scene. The blue really pops against the white.
LOVE the rays stenciling in the background, Trina. Looks so amazing in the bright blue. Perfect to show off the lovely altered die-cut. The black sentiment banner adds some lovely contrast! Amazing design, my friend! xx
This is beautiful, Trina! I love your blue stenciled background that shows off the holy family beautifully and how the sentiment grounds the whole scene! So perfectly CAS!
what a creative use of that beautiful die Trina! - just using the manger bit - your blue stenciling on the sun burst is perfect behind the die cut - and the white embossed on black sentiment really anchors the scene!
So peaceful and serene and the most beautiful CAS Christmas card Trina x.
Love your CAS card. It is simply Perfection. Beautiful card, Trina.

Absolutely GORGEOUS card, Trina! I love how you trimmed the die cut then stacked it 3 times to achieve dimension...so beautiful! And your stenciled sunray is so pretty in blue...I really love this card!
Lovely to see a blue Sunray instead of the usual yellows & oranges. Love the stacked die element and love the CAS aspect too. All in all, YES, I love your card. Xxx 😍😍🙂
I love all the surgery you did on the die cut to achieve this beautiful card. The rays add a special touch to the image. Beautiful card, Trina.
This Christmas CAS looks amazing with the dimensional Nativity and the blue stencil! A great impact for your card!

Stunning CAS stenciled card! Thanks for joining the Sisterhood of Crafters, "Stencil" Challenge.
Simple and so sweet!!! I love the dimension from the stacked die cuts! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
Thanks for joining us at The House that Stamps Built for our Christmas in July Challenge! Your card is stunning!
Vivid, beautiful greeting. It's hard to believe that we're scarcely more than five months away from the return of Christmas. One can only imagine, given the year we've had so far, what might transpire between then and now. Hopefully we'll experience calmer, safer times (complete with ample time to craft).
