Welcome back! Today I’m sharing another beautiful card created with the A Child is Born stamp set. This project is watercolored then layered using a windowpane technique.
I created this project on my live last week. If you missed it, check out the video! I also shared this project! Both projects come together pretty quickly and are fun to create. Today’s project was watercolored using ink pads and a Water Painter. Use any colors you would like for coloring. Heat emboss the image to make watercoloring easier.
Today’s project uses the following ink colors: Early Espresso, Basic Beige, Petal Pink, Cloud Cover and Smoky Slate.
After coloring the main image, cut into 6 pieces and layer them on a background layer. I shared 2 versions on my live. One used the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper as the background layer, and the other version used Basic Black Cardstock. Both turned out great! The DSP has gold stars on it and they pop through providing an extra subtle detail. They also coordinate perfectly with the Gold Shaker Stars used as an embellishment.
Next, a strip of Designer Series Paper was added to the inside, carrying the design throughout the project.
Finally, I added a few of those amazing Gold Shaker Stars – to the front and inside of the card!
To Create This Project
Card Base – Thick Basic White cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″
Front Layer – Basic Black or Designer Series Paper cut 4″ x 4-1/2″
Stamped Layer – Basic White 3-3/4″ x 4-1/4″

Wrap twine around layer and tie in a bow. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with gold stars. Stamp inside sentiment in Memento ink. Add strip of designer series paper and gold stars if desired.

Before we know it, the holiday season will be upon us! So today, I have pulled out the beautiful A Child is Born stamp set for a simple embossing card. I love the line art, beautiful sentiments, and adorable animals in this stamp set.
It was fun creating projects with this set on my live last week, and I will be sharing both with you here. This first project is simple, combining an embossed layer and a heat embossed focal image. You can pull in any embossing folder you would like. I used the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder.
For this version, I used white embossing powder. However, I think it would look beautiful in any color.
And this second version is done in gold embossing powder. It’s hard to pick up the sparkle in photographs, but this card is shiny and sparkly in real life.
I kept the inside very simple by stamping the sentiment in Secret Sea ink. For the gold version, I also added a few Gold Shaker Stars – which are flat and amazing for both the front and inside of a card!
To Create This Project
Card Base – Secret Sea cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″
Embossed Layer – Secret Sea cut 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ embossed with any embossing folder
Front Layer – Secret Sea 3-3/4″ x 5″
Inside Layer – Basic White 3-3/4″ x 5″
Adhere embossed layer to card front. Stamp main image and sentiment on front layer in Versamark ink. Add embossing powder and heat with a Heat Tool. Wrap twine around layer and tie in a bow. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with Snowflakes or gold stars. Stamp inside sentiment in Secret Sea ink on Basic White layer. Adhere layer inside card. Add gold stars if desired.
