Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. Our theme for November is Christmas! Time to be thinking about what you will be making for Christmas cards and gifts!
POLAR BEAR using POTIONS & SPELLS DIES
This card has been done for several weeks, but I haven’t had a chance to share until now! I’ve made a cute polar bear from the Potions & Spells cauldron die! Can you see it?
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock was added on top.
- Two 1-1/4 x 4 strips of Snowy Scenes Designer Paper were added to each side.
- The greeting from Christmas Friends (perfect!) was stamped with Memento Black Ink towards the bottom.
- The polar bear head is the cauldron from Potions & Spells Dies turned upside down and cut from Basic White cardstock.
- The ears are medium bubbles cut from Basic White cardstock and inside ears are small bubbles cut from Petal Pink cardstock and the eyes small bubbles from Basic Black cardstock.
- The cheeks were colored with Petal Pink Ink using a sponge dauber.
- The muzzle is a 1-1/4″ Circle cut from Basic White and trimmed along the top.
- The nose is the beaker liquid cut with the die from Basic Black cardstock. It is popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The scarf is 1/4 x 5 cut and trimmed and adhered to the bottom of the “top” of the cauldron.
I LOVE how this turned out!!! So much fun to use those dies for Christmas, too! And check out our Potions & Spells Collection…we did two other character tutorials in it! Then see Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
