Kia ora Koutou
There’s something so peaceful about a blue, white and gold Christmas card — calm, classic, and timeless. This week, I wanted to capture that feeling in a handmade design that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas — the Nativity. 💙🤍
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.
The Inspiration
When I think of Christmas, I always come back to that serene image of the Nativity — quiet, simple, and full of light. I decided to create a card that reflected that sense of peace using cool winter blues, crisp white, and a touch of gold shimmer and sparkle. The result is an elegant, spiritual design that feels both traditional and modern.
💡 How I Made It:
This simply elegant card has been created using just three die sets. Two die sets were designed to work together to create a stunning nativity scene that can be used to create a 3D vignette or just add dimension and depth to a simple card base. Here I have created a nativity vignette using a combination of gold ombre card and white card and then used foam tape for dimension before adding it to the coordinating background frame. Add some pearl poinsettias, sparkly leaves and pearl accents on a embossed vellum background and you have a very elegant Christmas card. 💙💙
