MFTWSC207 - Cool Day with Christmas

What a fun sketch over at My Favorite Things with MFTWSC207 so went back to my crafting table to get another Christmas card done as well as a Winter Inspiration for the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge  and over at the Sugar Pea Design they have their monthly challenge with "Anything Goes" SPD12 and Loves Rubberstamps challenge which is"Anything Goes" LRSBC131 week also.

Here is my card

Got to play again with this cute stamp set from MFT called: Cool Day and used Berrylicious card stock to get me started. Than I pulled out the Horizontal Stitched Strips for the bottom portion where I stamped it using the Nordic Knit set and Berrylicious ink. 

Since I wanted the top portion also stitched, I used my Blueprint 13 and modified the cut to be shorter which I embossed using the Star Stencil. Next, I went and pulled out the Pierced Fishtail Flags and went on to color this cute Polar Bear and North Pole using my Copic markers. Added some star enamel dots in the end and added foam mount under the Bear to add a little dimension.

Happy Holidays!!

Merry Monday 139 & SS - Christmas with Polar Bear

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge has this adorable winter pictures and so many things came to my mind. Also, with Christmas around the corner, I needed to work on more cards. This week's challenge is: Winter Inspiration

Plus Merry Monday Challenge 139 also has a winter theme this week and it was a perfect opportunity to play with a new stamp set called: Cool Day with Polar Bears and snow.

Here is my card:

Isn't this polar bear cute? I love it and I had fun coloring with my copics. I only wish I could re-wind this week since I have this awful cold and now rushing to get Christmas cards done. This one is for my girls. I still need to make one more.

This is perfect for gift cards and or a special love one and was so happy to play with more stuff as well. Only wish I was 100 percent, but it appears everyone I see has this awful cold. So pushing through it especially since this is their Christmas present now that they are older and may not have enough time within these days.

Here is the inside using: CS Christmas (MFT) and the little mittens are from the same stamp set as the Polar Bears called: Cool Day.

Easy to make this gift card using the Gift Card Grooves Die-namics from MFT along with the Pierced Rectangle Stax set. Even my husband loved it and thought it was a perfect slot for money or gift cards. The sentiment for this side of the card is from the stamp set: Gifting Fun which has such cute sayings.

Here I used the Blueprints 17 using Night shift Blue card stock and Berrylicious card stock for the center. Added some background using Snow Fall and white embossed. To create some dimensions for the word sentiment instead of using foam mount, I cut the sentiment 4 times and layered them on top of one another. 

Actually, 3 looks good using the Smooth White Heavyweight paper but in the end, I added a fourth layer. Almost forgot, there is a little tiny snowflake in the Cool Day stamp set that I stamped around the border using Sweet Tooth pigment ink. Enamel dots where added at the end for final touch.

Sorry for the long post, but wanted to show off the inside as well and since there was a lot of different supplies used, I thought it would be easier to break it down.

Happy Holidays! Don't forget to check out the challenge sites. Now I'm going back to work on more Christmas cards.
