Manger Scene

November 12, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute little holiday card using the adorable Manger Scene Die Set by Erin Lee Creative. I created a circle frame using a nested circle die with white cardstock onto a cream base. For the sentiment I used the Vintage Christmas Stamp Set with black ink. I curved the sentiment using my MISTI so that it followed the curve of the design.

This is such a sweet little nativity scene. I did add some subtle accents to the critters and the baby Jesus with a black pen for the eyes and some copics for a rosy cheek and some shading. Thanks so much for stopping by!
