Get Cracking: Snowy Polar Bear

I have this wicked fun card to share with you created with some cute Tim Holtz / Sizzix dies. I used the new Cozy Winter dies to create this adorable polar bear with Vanilla cardstock from Lawn Fawn.

The adorable gingerbread he is holding is from Tim Holtz/ Sizzix Christmas Mini’s set. There are a lot of fun images included in that!

The sentiment is ink blended Salvaged Patina on Distress White Heavystock, and Pixie Dust Sparkle Cardstock die-cut with the Festive Words set

The snow he is standing in I created with Lawn Fawn’s Puffy Cloud borders, and also sprinkled in some of the new Tall Pines cut out of Noble Fir Lawn Fawn cardstock.

The background was created with some ink smoosing with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink. I love how this adorable card turned out and is perfect for a holiday card or even a winter greeting.

Learn how on YouTube LIVE
