This is a 6x6" card on blue cardstock and I just added the patterned patter on top and then my baby Jesus cut from the Winter Frolci cartridge. I made the sentiment on my computer again and it says, "The Reason for the Season" and I just added that to the top of his manger. I also had to draw a little curl on Jesus's head. :D Super simple card!!
