Hello Saturday! We are having a bit of summer here in NJ once again… 80 degrees today! However, fall is definitely upon us ~ the trees surrounding us have turned those gorgeous shades of yellow, orange, deep reds. It is just stunning. With all this talk of fall, you would think my card would be about that, but it isn’t :O) It’s Christmas with the Beary Christmas 12 x 12 DSP and the Tiny Trees Dies.

I began this card by die cutting the Garden Green front piece with the Tiny Trees Dies. I added Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of the die cut and attached a slightly larger panel of Granny Apple Green foil sheet. (This comes from the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets pack.) These were added to a Garden Green card base. I die cut two Basic White circles with the Deckled Circles Dies. The smaller one I stamped with the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink from Beary Cute stamp set, then stamped again with the ‘snowflake’ stamp in the same Beary Cute stamp set. I fussy cut this bear carrying packages from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP and attached him to the larger circle with dimensionals. I slipped this Sparkle Ribbon under his feet to make it look as though he was walking on ice. I added three Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the circle for more bling. These two circles were attached to the card front as you see them.

For the inside… I stamped this simple outline image of a tree in Garden Green ink, using a stamp from the Beary Cute stamp set. I stamped the hat in Real Red ink from the same stamp set – and called it complete.

For the envelope… I fussy cut two more bears from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP and added them to the envelope front. I took another piece of the DSP for the flap.

What a bright, cheery card, right? What’s helpful about this card, is it could be sent to someone of a different faith – as it doesn’t say Merry Christmas on it. It’s good to have a few of these in your stash.
