This die cuts a desert city skyline with domed rooftops and palm trees, shown paired with silhouette figures of the Holy Family - Mary riding a donkey led by Joseph, and a kneeling shepherd - beneath a rising star, used here on finished cards reading Rejoicing in Christ and Christmas Wishes.
Why this die: the skyline and figure dies combine into a full Nativity scene rather than a single background element; the layered silhouette style works in one flat color or in graduated tones for added depth; it cuts cleanly through up to three layers of cardstock for a dimensional card front.
What's included: a precision-cut carbon steel die set, with all shapes shown included - the skyline, star, and Holy Family figures. No cutting machine included - use with any compatible standard manual die-cutting machine. Dimensions: 13 x 13.5 cm.
Cardstock is sandwiched with the die between the plates of a standard manual die-cutting machine and run through by hand, cutting up to three layers cleanly for a layered card design or shadow-box-style scene.
Well suited to Christmas cards, holiday album pages, and Nativity-themed paper-craft projects built around the skyline and Holy Family silhouettes shown.
