Welcome!
Today's cards come from my need to still catch up on my Christmas stash, but also to use my NBUS Christmas bin! Yep, I have two separate bins - oy! While I usually try to make my cards unique, I've decided that with the goal off my need, I'm going to at least try to make two cards from each set that I break out of the NBUS jail, so here it goes ~
I'm sorry I can't give credit, but one of you incredible cardmakers recently enabled me to buy this die, and honestly, I'm so glad you did! I love everything nativity and so this was an easy one. I cut the die in two colors, blue foil and glitter cs from PFS. I then swapped the bits and thus it became two cards! This first card had a dome placed behind and a foiled sentiment popped up. This one is Hubbs' favorite.
This second card was placed on a kraft background and a double layered, foiled sentiment. This one is my favorite, though it doesn't have the "pop" that the first does. Not really unique from the first, as it was "after" that I came up with a whole lot more ideas...
Do you have a favorite?
Supplies:
MB - Nativitgy Drop
Card 1 - WF Nested Dome die; PFS Magical Holiday pp
Card 2 - Splb Holiday Sentiments 2 hfp
I'll be sending one of these to Peace On Earth #94 (the church in the upper left, in honor of the nativity), NBUS #78 and JUGs #791 Anything Goes - Dies
Thanks for the visit and have a blessed day!

They're both beautiful TK, but maybe I like the 2nd one just a tiny bit more! I have this same die too and have only used it once (gasp!!), so I think I need to get crackin' and play with this one some more...it really is a beautiful die! Thanks for inspiring me my friend with your lovely cards!! Hugs. :0)
A couple of lovely cards. I get the making 2 - makes it much easier on you! Thanks for sharing at JUGS
Wonderful Christmas cards and I love the Nativity design you chose .
Two wonderful makes, TK thats a pretty die! I think number two is my favorite with the color combo and CAS design. So happy to have one in our JUGs gallery, thanks for joining us!
Both cards are beautifully created!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Peace On Earth!

It might have been me, TK (July 11), and if so, I'm honored. It is a beautiful little nativity die and I love both of your designs with it! I think I lean towards the second one because I love how it looks with the kraft and bright blue with the white nativity. Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS 2 x 2! (I always plan to make two every time I make a card and guess I often I listen to myself? I've never understood why that's so hard when it makes perfect sense, no matter what the reason for the card! So thank you for that inspiration, too!) Hugs, Darnell
TK your cards with the swapped bits and pieces are both so pretty! I couldn't choose one over the other!

I think they're both beautiful, TK! I love this teardrop Nativity! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that has a separate NBUS box for Christmas. I am trying hard to use them all and not add to it.
That simple nativity is beautiful, TK, and it looks wonderful in either color way. I really like the sentiment with the first one.
I love both of these cards. I also love that you kept the cards clean and simple to allow that gorgeous die to shine. So glad you shared this with us at Just Us Girls this week

That is such a beautiful die. It looks lovely as the focal point of your card.
Great die for sure. Both cards are quite nice but I'm with you as I like the 2nd one the best.
