Our parish secretary asked me to make our parish priest a Christmas card. After seeing all the stair step cards from TLC190, I knew I wanted to make one using the Holy Tripitch set. My original is somewhat different and had a smaller 'stable' which I handcrafted. Here the stable is larger in order to include the saying about the Holy Family. For sand I used rough sand paper and the star was cut from above Joseph's head and put instead on the stable roof. Thanks for looking!

Oh! This is the prettiest one yet! I love what you have done. I looked at this set when I was making one too, but didn't have a clue- til now! I love your work. Beautiful!

What an absolutely beautiful Christmas card! I think it's my favorite Christmas card ever on this site --- and I like A LOT of cards on this site. Thank you so much for sharing your vision for this style card.
I have been on the fence about purchasing this stamp set, but I think I NEED to order this now!
The receiver of this card will treasure it, I'm sure.

My Christmas card for this year has been designed and I'm well into creating them. But this is a wonderful design and you've done a great job. I'm going to put it in my Favorites for review next year. TFS

Nicely done.
