 Happy Christmas Y'all!

Psalms 30:4

Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

I've made this beautiful card using Stamps, dies and paper from the Autumn Harvest Collection at

Elizabeth Craft Designs designed by Angelica Turner.

Florals 31, Florals 32,  Autumn Foliage, Autumn Harvest Paper Collection, 

Elegant Decorative Frame and Layered Greetings 1

I used several layers on this card, copper cardstock, gold cardstock, black cardstock, and 

decorative paper in layers.

The combination of decorative papers and inked flowers and leaves really make this a 

birthday card with elegance.

Put a little shimmer or sparkle on your flowers with fine or chunky glitter. Sometimes it's fun to also give your leaves some shine with Diamond Glaze or other glazing product.

AND

Be bold, mix up your colors when inking!

Thanks for visiting today!

The Christmas story (in a nutshell) from 2 different accounts.

Matthew 1:20-25

20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
    and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

Luke 2:6-13

6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.[c]

The Shepherds and the Angels

8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
    and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”[d]
