Arctic Love: Polar Bear Valentine

Inspired by my recent Valentine’s Day card roundup, I crafted a Valentine featuring a polar bear nestled inside a heart, surrounded by a backdrop of red, pink, and blue circles. With a die-cut “XO XO” sentiment, this card is created solely with die cuts.

Polar Bear Valentine

    • Cut Reverse Confetti Big Polkas Cover Panel from Snowdrift cardstock. (This cover plate is now retired, and I have been unable to locate a source for it.) Cut 1″ circles (using a die from the Everlasting Circles set) from Pomegranate, Dahlia, Pink Sand, and Sea Glass cardstock). Tape the circles to the back of cover panel (trimming circles as necessary where there is overlap). Add assembly to an A2-size card base.
    • Cut heart from Pomegranate cardstock with second largest die in the Essential Hearts set. Add to card.
    • Cut Elizabeth Craft Designs Polar Bear (retired but still available at Frantic Stamper) from Snowdrift, Onyx, and gray (Bazzill Taffy) cardstock. (I used the retired Paper Smooches Snowman 2 die for the mouth.) Assemble.
    • Cut sentiment from white glitter foam with the Journal Letter die set. Add to card.

  • I die-cut the Gnome Couple from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I die-cut the Window 4-Pane and cut a panel of soft yellow cardstock with which to back the window.
  • I stamped the Reverse Confetti Spooktacular greeting on to a panel and added a strip of gray cardstock to the bottom.
  • I added the female gnome to the yellow cardstock and adhered the window frame to the panel with foam adhesive. I adhered the window to the card base.

Memory Box – Adventure Awaits

Hello! A more apt title for this post might be “Summer Has Sailed Away”!  I created this CAS, nautical-themed card with a Memory Box die set, a Memory Box stamp set, and a Reverse Confetti frame die. I previous used the Marina Sailboats on this card.

Memory Box - Adventure Awaits

  • I cut the Marina Sailboats from red, white, and navy cardstock. I trimmed pieces to change the color of the hulls.
  • I applied Distress Oxide inks to a background piece and set it aside.
  • I cut the frame and stamped the You Anchor Me sentiment using a stamping tool.
  • I added the Distress Oxide panel to the back of the frame and the sailboats to the scene.

Patriotic Fourth of July Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a patriotic card for the Fourth of July.

Patriotic Fourth of July Card

  • I started with the Reverse Confetti Big Polkas Cover Panel, which I cut from Polar White cardstock. (You can see a Christmas-themed card featuring this cover plate here.)
  • I cut circles in red, two shades of blue, and Polar White with a circle die, sized slightly larger than the holes in the cover plate; I taped the circles to the frame on the back.
  • I used the Taylored Expressions Star Stacklets to cut stars out of navy and red cardstock. I attached the stars to the panel.
  • I used a now-retired set (TE Caps Lock – USA) to cut the letters from Polar White cardstock. (I cut the letters twice for additional depth.)
  • I created the smaller sentiment on my computer and cut it with a banner die.
