I'm not always good about planning ahead for holidays, but this year I've already made several different Christmas card designs, so I'm feeling pretty good. Of course I created the cards (this being one of them) for my Holiday Stamp A Stack last weekend--but we'll just pretend I'm on top of my planning. :-)
Anyway, this card uses the set Come to Bethlehem. I inked the stamp with Early Espresso, and then I dabbed Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint on top of the ink--all before I stamped on my Naturals White card stock. That gives the Wisemen image a nice shimmer.
For the base of the card I rounded the edges and used the background stamp Sanded--stamped with Versamark. I also used the new Waffle Paper (found in the Holiday Mini Catalog) to add a little more interest and dimension. I like that the Waffle Paper is a fun accessory that doesn't add too much bulk to your card. I ran a line of adhesive and then just folded the Waffle Paper back on itself as I moved across--kind of like ribbon folding.
