Hello everyone! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook today shopping my stash for some adorable Christmas critters. I can’t believe it but I still need more Christmas cards this year! How are you doing on your list?
After a bit of deliberation, I decided on these absolutely adorable bears from The Best Gift. I stamped and colored them with copic markers before using the coordinating die to cut them out. Then I chose a sentiment from the set to heat emboss on black cardstock and use an Extra Large Sentiment Strip to cut it out.
I used the plaid embossing folder on an A2 piece of white cardstock and a blending brush with green dye ink to give a little interest to my background. Then I splattered the background with the same ink and adhered it to a white card base.
I added foam squares to the back of my sentiment strip and image and popped them in place. For finishing touches I used Touch of Gloss on their noses, cheeks and toe beans.
Aren’t they just adorable!?! I love all the images in this set. Next up is the Santa bear for a gift tag this year!
