Mary and Joseph<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A portrait card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

This tender scene is set against a starry dark night. Mary is sat cradling the baby Jesus who is wrapped in a white sheet, she is gazing at him lovingly while Joseph is ensuring the baby is well wrapped up.\u00a0 Hovering in the night sky is an ethereal Angel with a halo of light around her head and her hands in the praying position.\u00a0 Lighting up Jesus\u2019 face, a beam of light is shining down from the star of Bethlehem.\u00a0 \u00a0A lovely religious card.<\/p>\n

Madonna and Child<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A portrait card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

The star of Bethlehem is shining bright in the dark night sky shedding light into the stable where Mary is gazing lovingly at the bay Jesus with 2 baby lambs at her feet, one asleep and the other looking at the baby.\u00a0 The stable is humble with a straw roof and straw covering the floor and 1 earthenware vessel.\u00a0 Mary has wrapped the baby in a white sheet, they both have golden halos around their heads.\u00a0 All this set against the backdrop of Bethlehem town.\u00a0 A traditional religious card.<\/p>\n

The Art of Peace<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A landscape card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

On a deep red background is a dove carrying a piece of an olive branch surrounded by swirls of gold embossed foil.\u00a0 A thoughtful sentiment is to the bottom right again in gold embossed foil.\u00a0 A card suitable for personal, business and companies with a meaningful statement.<\/p>\n

The Adoration of the Magi<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A portrait card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

This is a classic design rather than a traditional card.\u00a0 The scene depicts the birth of the baby Jesus in a more recent Venetian style, with vibrant colours and opulent clothing.\u00a0 Mary and Joseph are shown in heavy clothing with the baby wearing nothing.\u00a0 The 3 wise men surround them bearing gifts they too are dressed very opulently with vivid colours.\u00a0 The backdrop to this colourful scene we assume would be the town of Bethlehem but not as we would traditionally see it.\u00a0 You can just see the star of Bethlehem shining bright through the archway.\u00a0 A change from the traditional card, could be used for personal, company and business\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Nativity<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A landscape card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

This traditional scene is depicting the birth of Jesus.\u00a0 Set in the stable Joseph is kneeling and praying over the baby in the manager whilst Mary is tending to his covering. The 3 wise men are bearing gifts and are dressed in colourful clothing. One of the shepherds is kneeling in prayer while the other stands looking on.\u00a0 There are lambs, chickens and a donkey in the stable.\u00a0 The star of Bethlehem is casting a bright white light onto the baby\u2019s face.\u00a0 This is a very traditional card for all types of use.<\/p>\n

The Dearest One<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A portrait card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

This stunning card is showing a serene Angel holding the whole world set amidst the universe with brightly shining stars.\u00a0 The Angel has pure white wings and is looking down forlornly at the world suggesting the world is a troubled place to be, this is an angel of Gods’ peace and love.\u00a0 A contemporary card not unlike the traditional religious card.\u00a0 Could be used for personal, companies and business\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Hope<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A landscape card with a matt finish.<\/p>\n

This religious card depicts the birth of Jesus across the word \u2018Hope\u2019 which is in embossed gold foil.\u00a0 Joseph is kneeling in prayer in the letter \u2018H\u2019, Mary and the baby Jesus are in the centre with 2 lambs looking on. Houses assuming it\u2019s Bethlehem have gold embossed windows to indicate light shining out.\u00a0 There is a kneeling angel on top of the letter \u2018E\u2019 with snow white wings. Inside the letter \u2018P\u2019 is a white dove with an olive branch in its beak, above there is the star of Bethlehem shining bright in gold embossed foil. A very contemporary card with a religious theme.<\/p>\n

Joy<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A square card on a matt black board.<\/p>\n

This is a contemporary card depicting a religious story.\u00a0 In the bend of the \u2018J\u2019 sits a small house with a palm tree next to it, perhaps this is where the 3 wise men started their journey.\u00a0 In the \u2018O\u2019 are the 3 wise men riding their camels across the desert.\u00a0 Around the \u2018Y\u2019 is a cluster of small houses, this must be Bethlehem, with the star of Bethlehem shining bright above the \u2018O\u2019 and \u2018Y\u2019 under joy \u2018to the world\u2019 is inscribed.\u00a0 All this detail is in silver and gold embossed foil.\u00a0 Suitable for all uses.<\/p>\n

Peace Soars<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A landscape card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

This beautiful white dove is flying across a dark sky with a piece of green holly with vibrant red berries in his beak.\u00a0 Flowing behind are red, green and white ribbons against a plethora of bright shining stars.\u00a0 The word \u2018peace\u2019 is in a white distinctive font on the right hand side near the bottom.\u00a0 Suitable for personal, company and business use.<\/p>\n

Three Kings<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A landscape card with a gloss finish.<\/p>\n

This is a modern take on a traditional card.\u00a0 Set on a night backdrop, each of the kings has a gold halo 2 with gold embossed foil.\u00a0 They are dressed in ornate clothing some parts highlighted in gold embossed foil, they all have long white beards.\u00a0 Each is carrying a gift for the baby Jesus following the gold embossed foil star of Bethlehem.<\/p>\n
