One of the many reasons that I love working with Taylored Expressions is their array of Christian-themed products and this release is no different - Little Bits-Nativity, Little Bits-North Star and Joy Script (also new are 'peace' and 'noel' - I love word dies!)

On a base of Sugar Cube cardstock, I brushed on some ground in Toffee, a sunrise/set in Lemon Meringue and sky in Salt Water Taffy. After I brushed it on, I used the new Stitched Oval Stacklets to cut out an oval frame which I popped up just using a couple of pieces of cardstock. This frames my little nativity scene.

The nativity actually comes with its own little star, but I wanted it bigger as it needed to fill in the upper part of the card so I used the new Little Bits-North Star. This was a quick and easy card so I actually made five of them to make a dent on my Christmas card list - I may go back and make more as the holiday gets closer!
There's another sneak peek after this supply list - keep reading!
Before I move on to some wonderful stamps that I used to create a warm and rustic card - let me tell you about release week prizes.
There's a new background stamp with this release - Woodgrain Background. Be still my heart! I think I could put woodgrain behind everything! The other excitement is Holiday Florals and its coordinating die set. (In previous releases, we've had Fresh Florals and Fall Florals - LOVE them all!) This set adds poinsettias and pears and pine cones and holly and more!

I used another of the new word dies - Noel Script - to add the sentiment behind my rustic grouping of "florals". I used dots of Stickles on the blue berries and then glossy accents and a sprinkling of glitter on the golden holly berries. Then just a few of the sequins from the new Snow Flurries Sequins Mix.
