Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Christmas

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week is going well so far. I have to start prepping card kits today for the retreat I’m going on the 1st weekend of November and for my class that I’ll be having as soon as I come home. I’ll be cutting a lot of cardstock and DSP today, at least that’s the plan.

Today’s card is one that one of the ladies that comes to my class requested I make with a suite that she loves. I sent her a picture and I got all hearts back. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Bundle along with the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute Christmas 2 creativestampimgdesigns.com

I started by embossing a Basic White card front using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered a panel of the Beary Christmas DSP to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Balmy Blue 3/8″ Sparkle Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink on the bottom the Basic Whtie panel. I stamped the tree outline image from the Beary Cute stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink above the sentiment. I stamped the solid tree image from the Beary Cute stamp set in Balmy blue Ink inside the outline image. I embossed the panel using the Snowflake Sky EF. I adhered the stamped panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the 2 bear images from the Beary Cute stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. I punched out the larger bear using the Beary Cute Punch. I fussy cut the small bear using Paper Snips. On another panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the tree outline image from the Beary Cute stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I stamped the solid tree image from the Beary Cute stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, inside the outline image. I fussy cut the tree using Paper Snips. I adhered the tree to the artwork panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the 2 bears to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive Back Glitter Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Beary Cute stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the 2 bear images from the Beary Cute stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Balmy Blue mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper and Deckled Circles Dies for my card today

This is our sketch for this week.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by wrapping a piece of White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack around the Beary Christmas DSP card front twice and tied a bow. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Deckled Circles Dies, I cut out 2 circles from panels of Beary Christmas DSP and one from a panel of Misty Moonlight. On a small panel of Basic White, I stamped the sitting bear image from the Beary Cute stamp set in Smoky Skate Ink. I stamped the scarf image from the Beary Cute stamp set on the bear in Flirty Flamingo Ink. I colored the stripes using the Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Marker. I fussy cut the image using Paper Snips. I adhered the largest circle to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue just under the twine. I adhered the bear to the large circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.. I adhered the other medium DSP circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins to the card front.
