Instructions:

Card size: 5 X 7” Cut and fold white card, cut decorative paper about 1/8” smaller than card base on all 4 sides.  Cut Eyelet Lace Frame die from white, cut window (all parts) from white. Cut the center inside part of window again from decorative paper with town of Bethlehem on it.  Glue Eyelet Lace Frame to decorative paper on card, use foam to pop up window, add decorative Bethlehem panel before adding decorative front of window. Glue window to card and add pearls.

Stamp die cut and color Holy family, Merry Christmas and several sets of Poinsettia Clusters.  Sponge color on the poinsettias and holly, color the Merry Christmas image and the Holy family with Copics.  Run poinsettias and holly through the die cutter machine with the shaping mold.  Put 2 layers of poinsettias together to foam flowers.  Add non-adhesive red rhinestones to centers of 3 holly clusters and use the rest for the poinsettias.  Add glitter to all flowers. Cut the Merry Christmas image from foam sheet, let the foam rest then glue it to the Merry Christmas image. 

Glue the family to the window and glue the Merry Christmas to the top of the window.  Tie a triple bow with red ribbon and leave tails long.  Glue the bow to the left bottom corner of the window and then curl the ribbon tails below the window and along the left side of the window.  Arrange flowers along the ribbon and add extra holly leaves where needed.

Luke 2:7-14

7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.

8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in highest heaven,
    and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
