Today, I'm showcasing yet another card made with the  Beary Christmas Suite Collection.  These cards go together fast because the papers in this suite include backgrounds and images that work well together.   I'm using several different prints from the adorable Beary Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, including fussy cutting the polar bears from one of the prints.  My color theme for this card is Night of Navy, Real Red, and Basic White.   I used a Real Red and Night of Navy print from the Beary Christmas 12" X 12" paper. I also used a Night of Real Red ribbon,  and Red Festive Pearls.    I used the Stylish Shapes Dies for creating the stitched square Basic White sentiment label, and I added a Real Red square matte to my sentiment that was 1/4" larger than the die cut square created with the Stylish Shape Die.  I like creating cards that will work for family and friends of all ages.  These are perfect for younger nieces and nephews. 

Holiday Greeting Card using the Stampin' Up! Beary Christmas Suite


The basecard for this card is Night of Navy Cardstock.  Then I used a Real Red and Night of Navy print from the Beary Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, matted with a Real Red Cardstock layer.

Next, I  die cut a Basic White stitched square sentiment label and matted it in Real Red Cardstock.  I also fussy cut a large and smaller polar bear from the Beary Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  After stamping a Real Red sentiment from the Wishes All Around Stamp Set, I added the polar bears to the sentiment.

To finish my cards, I used a Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack and created a bow to add to my card front.  Then I added a few of the Festive Pearls to my card front, and I was done.
