Snow Scene with Bears

Posted on September 27, 2023September 24, 2023 by Josee

Have you seen the Beary Christmas Designer Paper?

It is super cute with lots of fun designs for card making and for scrapbooking. Not only can you cut it up with a trimmer but you can also use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the images to use on a projects.

BEARY CHRISTMAS 12" X 12" DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

You can see in this card that I cut out the trees and the bears from one of the papers.

Dimensions

  • Pool Party: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Basic White: 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″

Directions

  1. Stamp snowflakes randomly on the front of the card using the Pool Party ink pad.
  2. Cut out all the images from the Designer Paper using Paper Snip Scissors (or sharp crafting scissors).
  3. Tear the top of your Basic White cardstock so that it looks like a snow hill. Stamp the  greeting using Blueberry Bushel ink, then adhere it to the card. (Don’t adhere too close to the top on the left-hand side so that you can tuck in the trees.)
  4. Adhere the small green and blue trees to the card.
  5. Add the other images using Dimensionals.

Beary Warm Wishes

Posted on September 23, 2023 by Josee

This idea came from a card I saw on Susan Campfield’s blog. Her card was a birthday card, but I wanted a Christmas card. If you didn’t see the other card I made with this design, go to THIS POST.

Measurements:

  • Basic Black: 4 ¼” X 5 ½”  and  3 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
  • Garden Green: 3 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4”
  • Basic White (inside): 3 ¼” x 3 ¾”
  • Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP): 3 ½”  x 4″

Instructions:

  1. Score the Garden Green cardstock at 4”.
  2. Adhere the Designer Paper to the front of the Blackberry Bliss.
  3. Wrap the ribbon around the front of the folded cardstock and tie it in a knot.
  4. Stamp the giraffe on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento black ink.
  5. Use Stampin’ Blends to colour the image.
  6. Cut out using Paper Snips and add it to the card using Dimensionals.
  7. Stamp the greeting on the 7/8” x 2 ¼” Basic White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink. Adhere it to the card, tucking it slightly under the ribbon.
  8. Stamp the greeting and image on the 3 ¼” x 3 ¾” Basic White cardstock. Adhere it to the inside of the folded card.
  9. Adhere the “mini card” to the Parakeet Party cardstock.
  10. Add White Pearlized Enamel to the hat and set aside to let dry.
