Glory To The Newborn King

"Oh, come, let us adore Him!"

I made a card with the 3 Wise Men, or the 3 Kings.

The image is from Beccy,

and I think it is the first time I use it on a card.

I had a bit struggle with the star,

because the "gold" aluminum is so thin!

So after many tries I glued it to a card stock,

and then I could cut and emboss it.

I used:

White card stock,

Blue and golden papers.

Image and sentiment: Beccy", from The Nativity Set.

of an old, beloved Christmas hymn.

Christmas Coffee To Go

As I saw the colours

for the 5th day of Beccy's November Challenge,

I thought I had to take a day off.

so I made a "Christmas Coffee To Go" card.
