Have a Beary Christmas

Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Have you at least decided the colors or the stamp set? Well, we have a a Beary Christmas idea for you using the new set Beary Cute.

I’m going to warn you that the coordinating polar bear punch is not expected to arrive until the week of November 6th. That’s right around the corner, but you can get the Beary Cute set now. Then grab the punch when it comes in.

Just Nine Days Left

This is especially true if you’re planning on taking advantage of our 35th Anniversary joining offer that we’re calling the More or Less Special. (It all ends on Halloween.)

• OR get 35% OFF the Starter Kit price (get the normal $125 of product for just $64.35+tax)

And it just takes minutes to join our team of 24/7 Stampers if you do it right:

• Grab your personal and payment information and go here.
• You’ll have your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator number in your email box minutes after you’re done.

You can plan what colors of card stock you want to use as well. People are buying up popular colors. Make sure you’re stocked up. Here’s what we used on this card:

• Boho Blue (The stars were stamped off before stamping in the card.)
• Real Red
• Mossy Meadow
• Basic White

I love the theme of this card because spending special days with the ones you love can be so much better than spending them alone. And sometimes, it gives humans good practice at being tactful or keeping quiet to keep the peace.

Card Making Tips

I have a couple bits of info that might help you make this card and future cards:

• The Masking Paper made layering the trees behind the polar bear on the left so easy!
  • It’s stronger than Post-It Notes and should last longer.
• We cut the large stamped area the same size that we would if it was centered on the card front.
  • The Basic White is 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
  • Mossy Meadow layer is 3/16″ larger because we wanted it thinner than 1/4″.
  • Instead of centering, we placed the layered stamped area so that it would be centered top to bottom AFTER placing the greeting. This way, the greeting didn’t cover any more art than necessary.
