Playful Polar Bears Winter Themed Holiday Card with Juliana

Merry Christmas, Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana Michaels and today I'm here to share a winter themed card featuring the Playful Polar Bears stamp set and Fancy Frames Square dies.

To get started, begin by stamping the cute little polar bears from Playful Polar Bears and color them using Copic markers. Next, die cut them using the coordinating die set. Create the frame by die cutting a piece of silver paper using the largest Fancy Frames Square die. Cut a piece of Bristol paper to just slightly smaller than the outside edge of the frame. This will be used as the background for the scene.

Take the Bristol paper and stamp the Snow Flurries stamp set with Versamark embossing ink onto it. Sprinkle the stamped image with white embossing powder and heat set it. Repeat this as you ink the entire background. Next, ink blend Distress Oxide ink in Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch onto the paper with a foam applicator. After the ink blending is completed, sprinkle the piece with water using a small paint brush. Dab the water with a paper towel to remove some of the ink and add to the snowy effect.

Complete the background by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using one of the stitched hillside borders from the Woodland Borders die. Add this to the bottom of the snow flake background, trim to size and then adhere the silver frame on top of this piece. Stamp the sentiment using the Alpaca Holiday stamp set. You are then ready to add your polar bears to the snowy scene.

If you didn't notice, the dies for the polar bears cut out their hands so they can hold something. There are several cute images in the stamp set however, for this card use the snowflake die from the Warm & Cozy dies. Cut out some snowflakes from silver paper and place this inside the polar bears hands.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this project and that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!
