Yay! it’s the night before the Holiday Catalogue launch. A brand new catty will be available to customers from tomorrow and you’re going to LOVE it! I have made a few cards this month with my pre-order goodies but have been battling the flu this last week, so not much paper crafting going on of late! It was good to finally get back to work today and enjoy the glorious sunshine for the last day of winter.
I made this card a few days ago but was lacking in a bit of ‘zing’ to write up the post and finish the tutorial. When I got home from work tonight, I managed to finally complete everything ready for publishing.
The idea for this card has been floating around in my head for a while and I like the contrast and elegance of the star against the rustic background of the stable ‘walls’ – representing the King of Kings born in such humble surroundings.
Of course the card is 3D – it’s a pop-up, z-fold – one of my favourite fancy folds! This one is a fairly simple design that’s easy to recreate.
I particularly love how the ‘hay’ in the manger turned out. Can you guess from the list of products what die I used?

Hello Bronwyn. I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well. I look forward to all your posts, love your creative designs. I’m guessing #3 was the most popular design. Thank you for all the inspiration.
Thanks, Diane.
That’s a hard one to choose from. They’re all beautiful. I’m going to say the Carols of Christmas #1, Double Z-Fold, Box Card..
Thanks, Angie. That one was a close second in the ‘bundle’.
So sorry you’ve had the flu, and Hope you’re feeling better! Oh my goodness, I’ve loved all of these posts, but I’m guessing the Night of Bethlehem (4) Bridge card! That one was a definite winner for me! Thanks for always being such an inspiration!
Yay! You guessed it!
I will guess #4 night in Bethlehem, you are so creative! Love all your cards! Oh in California we are having a heat wave! 107 today! Stay cool! How your feeling better!
Yep! Spot on.
Greetings from North Texas, I love your tutorials and have enjoyed using the ones I have purchased. They are all so fun but I believe #3 the “swimming Pig” slider card would have been a very popular tutorial. Thank you for sharing your creations. Feel better soon, I know you miss being able to create.
Yeah, the pig is cute but not as popular as #4.
Thank you very much for another OUTSTANDING card. You just amaze me. My favorite for this month is #4, but they are wonderful.
You guessed correctly!
Hello, loving your manger scene card. I’m guessing the hay is #6
It is. Love how versatile the dies can be.
Well I would guess #4, these recent posts have just blown me away. Just GORGEOUS! You do beautiful work. Sorry that you have been sick and hope that you are back on the road to feeling better. Also, I bet you used the wood crate die to make the straw.
#4 it is! Congratulations!
My guess is #4. Love your design.
And you are right!
Hi, I would love to have the tutorial for the pop up zfold card. All f your creations are beautiful. I love how you used the flower stems for the hay from Bouquet Bunch. Great idea! I am guessing no. 4 for the most popular but I like number 3with the little piggy!

Hi Bronwyn: I love all your tutorials and I think I bought all of therm. However my personal favorite is Number 5. I hope I am not alone. Thank you!!!!!

Another fab 3D card. I think you may have used the bouquet builder for the hay. I’m not going to guess which is your fav/most downloaded tutorial – I’ve been lucky in the past. Thank you
Hope you are feeling better
Thanks for being so faithful in commenting on my posts. I appreciate your feedback.
The hay was made with a die from Bouquet Bunch; I am guessing #2 was most popular.
I really like this card you made.
Thanks, Glenda.
