Night Divine: an Easel Card by Paulette Berkbigler

Over a period of several weeks, I was excited and honored to share the batches of cards I received during my Holiday One-for-One Swap. When I sorted through all the cards, I thought it odd that I hadn’t received a card from several “regulars” but I didn’t push it – people have busy lives with so many other things going on. When I posted the last batch of cards, I received an email from my talented friend, Paulette. who let me know she hadn’t received a swap card and hadn’t seen her card on my blog. That’s because I didn’t receive her card until LATE THIS WEEK – more than a month and a week after the post mark on her envelope. I love Paulette’s card so much that I’m showcasing it today.

Here’s Paulette’s card:

And here’s how her card opens:

Paulette’s card is an easel card that props open against the sentiment on the inside (perfect to display on any mantel):

Paulette’s card features a starry backdrop and a gorgeous Copper Clay pattern from the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper. This GORGEOUS pack of papers from Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2023 Mini Catalog has sold out (and isn’t currently available), but I want to show the you colors and patterns in this pack of papers:

The Nativity on the front of the card and the animals on the base are cropped with the Night Divine Dies, which are currently available at a 10% discount (while supplies last), but the bundle gives you a 10% discount on both the stamp set and the coordinating dies. Here’s a look at the Night Divine Bundle:

The sentiment on the inside of the card is pulled from a retired All Ye Faithful stamp set. Here’s a look at the inside:

I love the richness of the colors in Paulette’s card – if you like this mix of Copper Clay, Night of Navy and Basic Black as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:

I hope you’ll leave a quick comment to let Paulette know how much you love her card.
