This is one I came up with over the weekend. I love the elegant design of the stamp and love that fact that this image is so beautiful on its own, you don't need a lot of "stuff" on the card to send a powerful message!
This card was super duper simple - stamp the nativity using Adirondack Denim Ink - trim 1/4" around edge, edge with silver leafing pen and then mat onto navy cardstock. Use a denim blue cardstock base, attach your nativity piece and then, using a Quickie Glue pen add the die cut corner image (Cuttlebug Vintage Die). After my card was together, I did add a hot fix rhinestone for my star. The inside was done by matting a piece of white card stock that measured 4 by 5-1/4" on the inside.Here's a peek at the sentiment.....
And... this is how many you can make in an hour!
That's it my friends... another easy peasy Christmas card... just in case you needed some last minute inspiration! ;-) I should mention, this card qualifies for Penny's Paper Challenges! The challenge this go round was "Christmas Stars" -- well I think my little rhinestone bling over the nativity qualifies! :-) Click HERE to check out the challenge! It runs until December 23rd!

Julie, I absolutely LOVE your card set!! Not only do I love simple cards, I love the fact that the emphasis on THIS one is the image reiterated by the sentiment inside!! Beautiful card.
Lovely card and using the blue tones makes it especially pretty. Mom
Great card! I made two and colored the entire thing, used stardust jelly roll pens, copics, stickles, smooch, ribbon, etc. Took me several hours...think I will do your version for the next ones!!! LOL!
