The darling bear from Forest Friends Designer Paper was begging to be cut, so that’s how this card began.
Christmas Greetings
For the bear’s background, I cut a 3 1/2″ X 3 1/2″ square of Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper. He chose this pattern, because it blended nicely with his fur. It also blended with Sahara Sand Cardstock, so we used this for the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
For a detailed edge along the bottom of the square, I used a Blossoming Happiness Die to cut Real Red Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 1/2″.
Before gluing the square to the card base, I embossed the card front with the Timber Embossing Folder. The bear wanted his background to look more “woodsy,” and I liked the added texture.
All we needed was the sentiment, which we found in the Trees For Sale Stamp Set. I stamped “Christmas Greetings” in Real Red Ink on Sahara Sand Cardstock, and used Paper Snips for cutting.
After the greeting and the bear were attached with Dimensionals, my card was complete.
I was inspired by TGIF.
