Hi all…here’s an easy hybrid project I created for my mantle. The kids can even join in the fun.
Cottage Arts digital supplies: Manger Medley Pak, Elf Town Pak (striped paper, changed hue), Everyday Papers 1 (changed hue)
1. Cut out cardboard shapes; square 3”x3”, house and rounded top all at same width – 3”
2. Digitally create nativity scene page by page at same width as cardboard shapes – 3”
3. Print each page, adhere to cardboard shapes and use packing tape to tape each piece together at back. Gently fold back and forth at seams so it can stand up.
*I sanded my pieces after adhering them to cardboard with a light sanding paper to add a more distressed effect. Distress inking on the edges also works well, especially after sanding.

Happy creating! Beth
