Christmas Blessings Cathedral Holiday Card

Hello friends, and happy Christmas Eve to you all!  Today I'm sharing this very fitting card that features the gorgeous Lovely Layers: Cathedral and the Christmas Blessings stamps and coordinating dies.

As you read through the details here, be sure to think about how the Cathedral can be used a lot more other than the holiday season!  Think Easter, sympathy cards, and more!

I'm going to try to keep the description today brief as I am sure you may be like me with still a LOT to do!  If you have questions, be sure to follow me on my Instagram.  I'll be sharing a reel within the next few days showing some of the creative process of the card.  You can also DM me there.

I die cut all of the dies of the Lovely Layers: Cathedral from white, two shades of green, dark blue, and brown cardstocks.

This saved me a good bit of time as I was able to use an ink blending brush and coordinating inks to add some quick and easy shading to the colored cardstock.

Since this is my first time using the Lovely Layers: Cathedral set I found the Layering Guide the perfect assist as I glued the layers together.

I set the Cathedral aside to create the background layers for my A2 card base.  I chose a dark blue cardstock from my stash and die cut it with the beautiful Scattered Stars Cover Plate die.  I used blending brushes to add Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges.  I also lightly inked some Brilliant White pigment ink just outside of where the Cathedral will be.

I hand cut a piece of white glitter cardstock to create a snowy hill layer and glued it to the card.

I added foam tape to the back of the Cathedral and adhered it to the card.  Then I placed the trees and shrubs around the Cathedral.  I took a scrap of the glitter cardstock and placed it under the large star is on the Northern Star cover plate and ran it through my die cutting machine.  I glued it into the opening of the dark blue layer.

The sentiment is from the wonderful Christmas Blessings stamp set and stamped in black pigment ink.  I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it with foam strips.

I absolutely love how this turned out and hope you do too!

I hope that how ever you celebrate this season, I send many wishes to you and yours for many blessings and joyous memories!  Many hugs to you!
