Nativity Scene Christmas Card

Happy Boxing Day to all my friends that are enjoying this second day of Christmas.  I miss this holiday, living here in the US.  Somehow, it just made Christmas last a little longer when we lived in South Africa :-)

Anyway, as promised, I'm back today to share another Christmas card with you. I made this card for my mom and I know that she is going to love it.  Yup, she hasn't received it yet, I guess this one swam across the great pond, but hopefully it will get there sometime this week :-)  My mom loves all my cards and keeps them all in a box and then shows them to her friends.  I received a lot of compliments from them, the last time we went to visit. {For my new bloggie friends ~ my mom lives in Algarve, Portugal and I live in Texas, USA:-)}

So with no more waffling, here is my card ...

 

I think that this card came out beautifully and it was so simple to make.  Because of the size of the nativity border, I decided to make it a 5.25" x 5.25" card.  Fits perfectly into a 5.5" x 5.5" envelope (by American Crafts) and it did not cost me extra postage.
