Beary Christmas

Here are a couple of fun bear birthday cards I made.

Check them out!!

I think that they are both adorable & love the way the turned out! 

What do you think??

Notice how I punched a hole out of my card front & made a window!

Cool huh!

How did I do it?

I used the NEW #162888- Heartfelt Hexagon Punch= $22.00

(available now, but shown in the NEW Spring Mini Catalog on pg. 12)

 

 1.  Punch a hole out of the card front.

2.  Punch out 3-4 pieces of DSP.

3.  Adhere the DSP Hexagon pieces to the card front.

4.  Turn the card over & carefully cut off of the hexagon pieces that are hanging over the edge, using your scissors.

5.  Emboss the card front using the #162026- Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder= $11.00

6.  Fussy cut the bear out of the DSP with scissors & adhere him to the bottom edge of the card.

7.  Add snowflakes.

 

#162129- Adhesive- Backed Snowflake Assortment- OnLine Exclusive= $8.00

This is what the card looks like opened up.

 

NOTICE how I punched out the words & pushed them thru the hexagon hole on the 

card front when adhering them to the inside of the card- 

so that they fit perfectly in the window.

And yes- I used both Basic White CS & Very Vanilla CS on this card, 

as this DSP had both of these colors in it & I wanted the contrast. 

I covered the back flap of my envelope with some left over DSP

that measures approximately 2 3/8 x 5 7/8".

I adhered the DSP to the envelope flap & then cut off the excess

using my scissors.

 

Here are the measurements & supplies.
