Today’s card is the second of four that I made for the Rising Stars card swap, using the Night in Bethlehem Bundle. You can see more here and here. For this card I used the rich Fresh Fig and Very Vanilla. The Bethlehem Thinlits Dies make it so easy to cut out the images. And the sentiment features the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.
Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- 2 pieces of Very Vanilla CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ (one layer for the front and one piece for the inside)
- Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
Stamped with the Night in Bethlehem stamp set:
- sentiment in Fresh Fig ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS
- people in Fresh Fig ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS
Die cut using the Bethlehem Thinlits:
- the people
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
- sentiment
- larger oval cut from Crumb Cake CS
Assembled the card:
- Very Vanilla CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- Fresh Fig 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon adhered to the DSP layer with Tear & Tape*
- Crumb Cake 3/8″ Classic Weave Ribbon adhered to the Fresh Fig ribbon with Tear & Tape*
- sentiment oval glued to Crumb Cake CS oval
- ovals adhered to the DSP layer, over ribbons, with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- people glued onto the DSP layer
- DSP layer glued onto Very Vanilla layer
- second Very Vanilla CS piece glued to the inside of the card base
