Beary Cute Winter Fun Fold

 








I thought I had shared this card I made mid November for a swap card but saw I had not. I used the Beary Christmas suite to make a a fun fold. I have a card base in Very Vanilla and I scored it 2 1/4" on each end to make the gate fold. I added panels of the Beary Christmas DSP to each side on the outside of the card. Inside, I added a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock and a piece of Very Vanilla stamped with the small bear from the Beary Cute set and a snowflake in Misty Moonlight ink. For the band, I have a piece of Misty Moonlight at about 1 3/4" thick. I cut a Real red Deckled Circle to pop my bear on. I stamped the bear in Misty Moonlight ink on white card stock along with the hat. I punched out the bear with the Beary Cute punch and hand snipped the hat. I finished off with a Real red scarf on the the bear and some Misty Moonlight gems around the bear. 
Hope you have a beautiful Christmas!

Love & Joy Gift Bags

 


I had fun decorating a few more bags in Kraft with the Joy Of Noel gingham print DSP and the Merriest Trees bundle. I stamped the tree on white card stock in Lemon Lime Twist ink and cut with matching dies. I then cut the Real Red lights from that color card stock. I punched out the Crushed Curry star with a retired mini star punch. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock from the same stamp set and hand snipped it out. 
Hope you have a beautiful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Star Ornament

 





I made this ornament for my Christmas tree which is decorated in silver and gold. A friend gave me the gold 3" macramé hoop she bought in a pack at the craft store. I added gold trim and then cut a piece of the Shining Brightly DSP and a piece of vanilla card stock with my Stylish Shapes dies in a circle and attached them together with the trim running though the middle. I added a distressed gold star cut from the Stars At Night dies and then another small star in gold foil before adding the star trinket to the center. Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Mini Calendar For You






Every fall I buy some mini tear off calendars from Tayloredexpressions.com to add to my calendars and to make a few for others. I made this one for a friend using the Fresh As A Daisy DSP, Moody Mauve and Bubble Bath card stocks. I layered the card front just like I would making a card and ran some Wild Wheat ribbon around. I used tear tape to add my calendar on the bottom. I then cut a 4 1/4" by 3" piece of the Moody mauve card stock and scored it in the middle and a little on the ends to make a stand for my card. Super simple!
Hope you have a amazing Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Beary Cute Tags

 




I buy one wick candles from Bath and Body Works each year for the supervisors in the children's program at my Bible study. I put them in the cello bags the store gives and I then design a tag to go on them. This year I thought it would be cute to use the Beary Christmas suite. I stamped the bear from the Beary Cute set on white card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink plus the scarf in Real Red ink. I punched it out with the matching punch and popped it on the Real Red tag cut from the retired Celebrations Tags dies and a little of the Beary Christmas DSP. I used some Misty Moonlight inner braid ribbon to tie on with a small amount of Real Red twine at the top. 
Have a Beary Sweet Weekend!

Mark's Rockin' Birthday Card

 







Celebrated my husband's birthday yesterday and he had bought himself a blue Fender which I tried to match by coloring with my Stampin Blends markers. I bought the new DSP from the spring mini catalog called Rock & Roll DSP. It has guitars on a few sheets so I colored one with my light Misty Moonlight Stampin Blends marker and hand snipped it out. You can see the match in the third photo. 
I have a Basic Black base and a sheet of the DSP on the background. I the cut two new dies in white and black from the Everyday Details dies also new from the spring mini. I stamped the music symbols on with Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Enjoy The Rhythm set. Popped my blue guitar on and stamped from the same set the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink on a strip of white card stock. Inside, I stamped from the same set in Memento Tuxedo Black and Misty Moonlight inks. 
Hope you enjoy your Monday and thanks for stopping by!

PP669 Beary Merry Christmas

 




Playing with a few products for Jaydee's Christmas theme over at thepaperplayers.blogspot this week! 
I decided the bear would like a scene from the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP that I cut with my Deckled Circles dies. I popped it on a piece of Pool Party card stock I had ran through with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. I also cut some trees in white card stock from the Horse & Sleigh dies. I stamped the bear from the Beary Cute set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punched him out with the matching punch. I stamped the scarf on him in Real Red ink and I stamped the hat in the same ink on a piece of white card stock and hand snipped it out for his head. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card stock in Real Red ink from the Beary Cute set. All was added to a white base to finish it off. 
Hope you have a sweet Monday!
