Nativity Dimensional Scenes

 In the first part of December,  we had a lovely visit to some friends in Kennewick.  Naturally, I planned an outing to Hobby Lobby on our way and picked up, among other things, (lol!) a Tombow Stamp Runner.  This thing saved my sanity!  While I cannot use my beloved ATG gun yet, I am now able use the stamp runner and since layering is tricky, being able to remove and re-position layers is wonderful.

As a thank you for their hospitality, I planned to take the Nativity Dimensional Scenes available as a the Design Space Make It Now project, and convert it into a tri-fold card.  Five weeks later (!!!!) here it is:-








I used American Crafts cardstock for all the layers (except the star) and was delighted with the perfection of the cuts.  I did not use pop dots between the layers because I was thinking to make it look like inlaid wood.




To make the pieces into a card, I cut the blue backing shown above, three more times in black cardstock and added hinge pieces, scored twice to accommodate the depth of the pieces, between the backing and the bottom blue layers of the scenes.









I also inked the outside edges of the layered pieces when they were completed, to give a finished look. 





This project is much easier than it looks and the hardest part was finding all the different shades of brown cardstock!  Give it a try!   Thank you for visiting with me today.   :  )  Christine

  1. Hi to Cocoa's mom,
    I know this is unusual to ask but my friend is looking for this nativity scene set to enlarge and cut out of wood to put in her church which her aunt requested who recently passed away. To honor her wishes she wants to make this but we need the pieces printed out or cut and she would take it from there. She is willing to pay someone to do this as we don't have a Cricut. Could you possible do this or direct us for help. We appreciate your time and help. Thanks!

  2. Hi Linda! Please pass my condolences on to your friend on the passing of her aunt. I understand that honoring her wishes is very important to your friend but I am afraid that I am unable to help you. The file you refer to does not belong to me but was accessed through my subscription to Cricut Design Space. I do hope you can find another pattern. : ( Christine

  3. Hi. Your project turned out great. I have this file from Cricut but I can not find a cardstock list of all the different paper I will need for this. I figured I would start making Christmas things now instead of waiting last minute. Thank you for your time.

    1. Hi! When you search for this file in the Make It Now section in Design Space there is a list of the card stock pieces necessary to complete the project. It's easy to miss because you have to scroll down in the pop up window to find it. Good Luck! : )
