Get ready to stamp your sentiments:

*Line up your 3 Whisper white pieces with the larger to the left---and the other 2 in the center and right.

*With Blackberry Bliss ink---stamp the sentiment "Guide Us To Thy Perfect Light" from Star Of Light Stamp set---in the Upper left corner

*Using Blackberry Bliss, stamp the "Blessed Christmas Wishes" from the Night In Bethlehem set to the upper left corner of the center piece of Whisper White CS.

*On the last piece on the right---use Blackberry Bliss ink and stamp "Star of Wonder Star of Night" in the upper left corner as far to the top as possible---You will understand why as this card will actually be the first piece that you see when you open the card---and is the piece visible through the window you die cut out.

*With the 3 Whisper White CS pieces laid on the table in front of you as they were---larger on the far left and the other two in the center and right---take your 3 gold sheet village pieces and adhere using liquid glue to the bottom half of each piece of white CS. Make sure they all match leaving approximately 1/4 to 1/2 in on the bottom.

*When you complete this --- fold the 3rd piece in so you can view through the window---you should be able to see part of your village and not see your sentiment that you stamped earlier. Take the small star and glue it above the village but so it can be seen in front from the window.

On the middle piece of Whisper White CS with the "Blessed Christmas Wishes" sentiment---glue the large star to the upper right hand corner--you may use the liquid glue or use dimensionals.

Lets do the final assembly:

*Adhere Whisper White CS with "Guide Us To Thy Perfect Light" sentiment to the left inside cover of the card.

*Then glue "Blessed Christmas Wishes" to the right side of the card---Adhere your Blackberry Bliss Holy Family die cut to the village scene.

*Then finally, the last piece with "Star of Wonder" to the back and fold in.

*Using dimensionals, adhere your Shephard to the bottom right corner on the front of the card so as if he is looking up at the star.

*Take your 2 gold foil scallop frames and adhere one to the outside window and one on the inside window.

Your card is complete! Congratulations! Now don't forget to sign and date your card---Make it an heirloom!
