Terrific Tuesdays

Stars Shining Brightly

This week we have been exploring all of the beautiful project possibilities with the O Holy Night and Shining Brightly designer series papers that were offered alongside this week’s featured product bundles — Night Divine and Stars at Night. While the papers are sold out, I wanted to offer design possibilities for those of you who purchased these beautiful paper packs.

Today’s fun fold card design uses the O Holy Night papers and Night Divine dies to build a scene. This spanner fun fold by fellow demonstrator Jackie Bolhuis with Klompen Stampers is the perfect design for this project. The front card panel is split to allow for a double flip-up as the card is opened. I chose to feature the Journey of the Wise Men on this design.

Night of Navy cardstock as the base. The starry sky and desert paper designs are both from the O Holy Night designer series paper pack. The camels and wise men are diecut from Basic Black cardstock using the Night Divine dies. The camels are reversed to have them traveling in the same direction with the wise men, and each wise man is elevated on mini dimensionals to give depth to the scene. The Star of Bethlehem shines brightly in the sky and is diecut from gold shimmer paper and embossed using the Stars at Night hybrid embossing folder and dies. Dimensionals separate each layer of the star to draw the eye and emphasize its prominence above all other stars in the night sky. The star panel remains as you lift the top section of the card front, and this reveals the sentiment which has been heat embossed in gold atop a vellum sheet. The message panel underneath has been left blank for a personalized note to the recipient.

I really debated about whether to add the sentiment on the center panel, but I am pleased with the result. What do you think? Would it be better to have no sentiment on this design?
