Hello, I hope you are well. I picked up a few small embroidery hoops with ribbons in a craft store recently. They were marketed as Christmas decorations so I had to have a little think about how I could use my Stampin’ Up! goodies to decorate them. The result was this Beary Cute Christmas decoration…
I did think about using the Beary Christmas DSP for the background but opted for the Bright & Beautiful DSP instead. I then stamped the 2 polar bears, the gift package and the sentiment and fussy cut them to add them to my decoration. Well, to be honest, my Scan ‘N Cut did the fussy cutting! lol
I added a little bit of colour to the polar bears with my Petal Pink Light Stampin’ Blend and a Color Lifter…
So that I could show you how quick and easy these are to make, I’ve recorded a video of me making a second one.
