Hello there my crafty friends! I started this card by coving a piece of card with the Moonlit Silver Luna Paste and allowing it to dry. Next, I embossed it with the Twinkle Swirls 3D embossing folder. I cut the large polar bear twice and the smaller bear once from the Polar Bear Playtime die set in white. I used mounting foam to mount the large bear on top of each other after nipping away the back legs on the top bear (so they just showed underneath from the bottom bear, giving the bear depth). I used a pale blue pencil to highlight the bears, then cut dark blue scarfs for both and glued them into place. I used mounting foam to attach the bears to the card and stacked the small one on top of the larger bear. I cut the Festive Wishes sentiment several times out of Navy Blue card and stacked them, then added a black shadow and glued them onto the card above the polar bears. The card was completed with white and navy blue mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" X 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Oh my word Sue, yesterday I cut these beautiful polar bears as one will be for a single mummy and her son, I cut a silver sparkling hat and scarf for mummy as she's a real girly girl as I've been informed and a blue hat and ear warmers for her son, they are adorable and I can't wait to play and make them into a card, I know the lady that's ordered has fallen in love so the young girl will too all being well. Thank you for giving us the tools and inspiration to make us and everyone that receives cards smile. Love you for that xxxq

Hi Sue
A great fun card.

Good Morning Sue. Awwww Sue how cute.... I can bet that all the grandma's who have young grandchildren will be wanting to make this one for their little loved ones. I would be one of them but my only two grandchildren are grown up now and appreciate the more modern type of Christmas card.... so yes I envy the younger grandma's. Enjoy them now as they grow up too soon. It's a beautiful card Sue and the embossing is first class. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind Regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
PLEASE STAY SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏.

Simple card, but oh so cute....luv Ursula xx
Very cute :)
This is such a cute card. Love the polar bears. I have made one card with them so far. Hope to get back to Christmas cards soon. I am making Thanksgiving cards now and had made a dozen Halloween cards so a Christmas break. I got these for my little two year old grandson and my two year old nephew. My little nephew kept looking at his Halloween card and said, "Someone colored this for me". Got to me. He is such a character. I wish this virus would go away as I miss my family!
Have a good Thursday,
Stephanie K
Hi Sue, a stunning card this morning. The bears are quite a change but still Christmassy and they are so cute.

A very cute card and love how you’ve “doubled up” the large polar bear to give dimension
Hi Sue. A great non=traditional card today which really captures the spirit of the season. Love the polar bears.
Lisbeth

Hi Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
A lovely cool looking design. Using the blue pencil to add dimension and highlights to the Polar Bears makes such a difference as does decoupaging the bears. I like this look. Your background of the embossed layer done with your Twinkle Swirls 3D Embossing Folder on a piece of card that you covered with CS Moonlit Silver Luna Paste is perfect giving a chilly appearance. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Hugs
Such a fun card Sue!!! Love your background and the Polar Bears are the finishing touch!!!!
