Today’s card is a sneak peek of two favorites from the 2025 September-December Mini Catalog; A Child Is Born, and Peaceful Garden Designer Paper. You’ll be able to order from the catalog September 3! I used this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for the layout of squares, which you can see below. I began by cutting the card base from Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I cut four squares of Peaceful Garden Designer Paper, using a 1 1/2″ square, Stylish Shapes Die, and glued them in place.

A Child Is Born
Next, I used two, Stylish Shapes square dies to cut the frame from 2025-2027 In Color Designer Paper. Then, I stamped the manger, from the A Child Is Born Stamp Set, in Secret Sea Ink on the same In Color DSP. After fussy cutting the manger, I attached it, with the frame, on top of the four squares. To fit the narrow frame, I used thin strips of Dimensionals, cut from the edge of “left-over” pieces. Remember, if you need “In Color” products, they are discounted 15% until the end of August.

“O Holy night” is from the A Child Is Born Stamp Set, stamped in Secret Sea Ink. As a final touch, I added three, Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The layout was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
