For more tips on creating with the O Holy Night collection, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/UWDeK6soJ0E.
Instructions: Card Base is 4.25 x 5.50" cut from black cardstock. Find and cut out the card pattern with the wood grain, die cut out the middle circle using the Eyelet Circle & Basics Small Die. Also cut off the patterned border right down to the wood grain. Find and cut out the "Warmest Holiday Wishes" sentiment and set aside for now.
Cut a piece of white cardstock that is just slightly smaller than the patterned front. Using Distress Oxide Inks and a blending tool I started added color. Start with the yellow (Fossilized Amber) in the middle. Then using orange (Spiced Marmalade), blend from the sides into the middle. Do the same with the final color, red (Fired Brick). Using Jet Black Archival Ink I stamped the Bethlehem image onto the blended background. Let dry. Then add yellow Stickles to the star.
Adhere the patterned frame over the blended and stamped cardstock, and position the way you would like the image to appear. Trim off any cardstock that might peek out the sides of the patterned layer. Mat this in yellow and red cardstock and adhere to the black cardstock base. Add the sentiment to the bottom of the circle, and black gems to the corners of the card.

For more tips on creating with the O Holy Night collection, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/UWDeK6soJ0E.
Instructions: Card base is 5.50 x 4.25" cut from white cardstock. Cut a piece of the wood grain patterned paper that is 4 x 5.25". Cut a piece of white cardstock that is 3.75 x 5", and one that is 3.5 x 4.75". The smallest piece of white cardstock will become your blended and stamped image.
Using Distress Oxide Inks create the blended background. First, I started with Fossilized Amber and created a small yellow circle in the middle of the cardstock. Then using Peacock Feathers, blend in from the edge up to the yellow. Next use Faded Jeans and again blend from the card edge up and into the teal. Finally using Wilted Violet blend slightly around the edges.
Using Jet Black Archival Ink stamp the Bethlehem city scene image along the bottom edge of the card. Then using the same ink add the "Believe in the Miracle of Christmas" sentiment to the top portion of the blended background. I added a gem to the star on this image. Using gold photo corners add the blended background to the white cardstock layer. Adhere this to the wood grain pattern and card base.

Instructions: Card size: 5 3/4 x 6". Start with an 8 1/2 by 11" sheet of cream shimmer card stock for the base (even though the card measures 6" across you can use this size card stock as the front is narrower) score at 6" and then glue a piece of decorative paper 5 x 5 1/2" to a panel of gold 5 x 5 5/8" to the front leaving 1/8 border around the top, folded edge and bottom. Then place the plain edge die from Classic Borders on the cut edge of the front to die cut and make a decorative front to the card. Cut a piece of gold with the fancy Delicate Border and glue to the back of the front curved edge to match curves. Cut another piece of decorative paper 2 3/4 X 5 1/2" and die cut the left side with the plain Classic die (keep the piece you cut off for the back of the front to make the edge look nice while card is open). Glue the decorative paper to a gold panel 5 3/4 X 5 5/8" and cut another gold decorative border from the Delicate Borders to cover the paper's cut edge (plain curves against the gold) embellish "seam" with cream pearls. Finish the inside with the large sentiment from the Noel Sentiments, stamping with VersaMark on cream shimmer and embossing with gold fine line powder. Round the edges with a punch and glue to gold panel.
Back to the front: Die cut Ornament base from cream card stock, inside ornate ornament from gold card stock, Festive Holiday die from gold card stock and Decorative Oval die from gold card stock.

Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this project. Cut 4 ornament base die cuts from gold textured card stock and cut 4 inner decorative ornaments from silver textured card stock. Score and fold each ornament part in the center. Glue the half side of one to the half side of another and continue doing this until you meet on the last side with the first side...make sure you string some thread between halves to use as a hanger and also to string a bead on at the bottom. Let each side dry thoroughly before gluing the next piece on using little clamps to keep ornament parts tight while it dries (especially when using the metallic paper as it has a sleek back).
Once everything is dry, take all the clamps off and start gluing the silver ornament parts inside the gold. Again, make sure each side is thoroughly dry before gluing the next one on. Now decorate by placing adhesive backed gold half beads on the center of each snowflake design in the ornament. Next place drops of silver Nuvo on each little scroll end. Add a nice big gold bow at the top and at the bottom string your thread ends through a gold bead and then tie a silver snowflake charm under the bead, make it tight against the ornament. Put a little glue on the knot for the charm and when the glue dries cut off the ends of the threads right to the charm.
