For more tips on creating with the border dies & foldout cards, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/wxX94X84kUo.
Instructions: Start with the 5" x 7" upright foldout card base from the Kraft Foldout card set. Cut paper pieces from the O Holy night paper collection to fit the base and each side of the foldout layers. Use from the Classic Borders Die to cut a matching border along the top edges of paper. Watch the video above for a quick tip on how to use the dies with foldout card. Sponge edges of the paper panels with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink and attach onto coordinating panels.
Stamp the medium and small poinsettias from HCPC-3822 Poinsettia & Holly Clusters, the angel and shepherds from HCPC-3832 O Holy Night and Merry Christmas message from HCPC-3833 Silent Night Scroll stamp set in Archival Black ink onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating dies. Stamp the Bethlehem skyline 2x in Encore Gold ink onto white cardstock, then heat set with Ancient Gold embossing powder and cut with coordinating die.
For detailed color application, use the Stack and Store daubers and Dove Blender pen along with the following inks to color. For the little angel, use the Rose Coral and Rich Cocoa ink. For the shepherds use Danube Blue, Bamboo Leaves, Desert Sand, Rhubarb Stalk and Rich Cocoa ink. For the Christmas message, use Rhubarb Stalk ink. For poinsettia and holly leaves, use Rhubarb Stalk and Bamboo Leaves ink.
Use the poinsettia shaping mold to shape poinsettias and leaves. You can see a tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE. Assemble 2 of the medium poinsettia and 1 small poinsettia. Pierce a hole in the center of all 3 poinsettias and leaves, then thread the gold stamen through, using hot glue to attach. Trim off excess wire from the backside of poinsettias. Use the shaping stylus to shape the shepherds and angel.
Attach everything onto card as pictured. Use Dries Clear glue to add a touch of gold glitter over the flowers, leaves and rest of card as desired.

Instructions: Card size: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2". Cut card panel 11 X 4 1/4", score at 5 1/2 then fold to make the card base. Cut top edge of the front with the Classic Border Basic plain edge die so that the front measures approximately 2 1/2 inches and then cut the top edge of the back so that it measures approximately 3 3/4 inches. Cut on score in the middle from top edge of back down to cut edge in front (about 1"). Cut a front and inside panel from decorative paper and cut them to match the curves of front and inside (see Emma Lou's video for an easy way to do that here: https://youtu.be/wxX94X84kUo.) Now cut 2 white Delicate borders and glue one to each of the top edges to match curves. Trace the die onto decorative paper (to match the sky) and hand cut a backing for the back edge behind the Delicate border. Sponge glue onto the front of card and the inside of card and apply ultrafine glitter.
Stamp Bethlehem 2 times in black and die cut, 1 time reversed in black (stamp onto plain rubber then plain rubber to paper, hand cut) and then 1 time in London Fog and 1 time in Shadow Gray, die cut. Glue and foam tape the layers of Bethlehem onto front staggering a bit right and left to get layers of town. Punch grass from decorative paper for front and glue to the bottom. Stamp angels, shepherds with black ink and die cut. Stamp the left shepherd again and hand cut (carefully cut lamb away from hand). Stamp the Holy Family twice and use the 2nd one to cut away cow and lamb to use. Cut a circle from decorative paper and ink the inside part to make a "cave" or stable. Color all pieces with Copic markers. Stamp just the star part of Bethlehem with VersaFine and emboss with gold and glitter white hot, die cut.
Glue circle to bottom of inside (right) and cut off the bottom of circle. With white, paint shine lines on front and on inside coming from the star foam taped onto top center of inside. Now glue Holy Family in the center of "cave" and glue extra cow and lamb to right side, glue extra shepherd with his hand on donkey. Punch grass for the bottom, glue and then paint glue on all straw area and sprinkle with Pure Gold Dust. Glue extra lambs and shepherds to the inside (left). Close the card and use foam tape to adhere the angels. The right angel should hang down low enough to act lie a catch to keep card closed but not enough to make it difficult to open and close.

Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this project. My tag measures 5 x 8 1/2". I made my own tag by cutting two pieces of cardstock to specifications and then gluing them together. This makes the tag a bit stronger and able to handle whatever you may want to put on the front. Cover the tag with a piece of the paper collection (I chose red). Punch a whole in the top of the tag and then set it aside while you prepare all the elements.
Using Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink stamp the poinsettia flowers onto white cardstock and color with a sponge dauber and Lady Bug Memento Ink. Use a coordinating die to cut out. Lay the flowers and leaves onto the 3D Mold and spritz with water then run through the Vagabond. Lay aside to dry. Once dry you can add the Prills to the centers and the glitter to the edges of the flower petals. I used a sponge and dries clear glue to add glitter. Set the flowers aside to dry. Once dry glue the petals and leaves to form a flower.
Cut out the ornament twice, once with white cardstock and once with gold metallic and glue the pieces together to form the white snowflakes and gold background. I used the sponge and glue to adhere glitter to the snowflakes part of the ornament and set aside to dry. Using the green metallic cardstock and the circle die, cut out the circle and glue the ornament to the circle. Set the green piece aside and go back to the ornament. Tie a piece of green ribbon around the top of the ornament and glue the poinsettias to the top as well. Set aside to dry. Once dry glue the ornament onto the green circle. Stamp the angel with VersaMark ink and emboss with gold embossing powder. Using a brush and water, color with the distress inks. Use dimensional tape to adhere the angel to the green circle.
Cut out the Sweetheart Borders lace die using white cardstock. Using the Scor-Tape adhere the green ribbon to the top of the lace. Tie a green bow and adhere to the center of the lace. Glue it down onto the tag front. Now glue the ornament and circle over the piece of lace and allow to hang off the side.
Cut out one of the tags from the paper collection using the Luggage and Tags Die and mat with a piece of the green metallic cardstock and then with a piece of white cardstock. Use dimensional tape to adhere to the tag and add another angel to the side. Tie a piece of green ribbon to the top of the tag and your tag is finished.
