I love the icicle die cut on the top of this card! The background is lightly colored using a blending brush before adding all of the die cut elements. The bears and the icicles are popped up with dimensionals.

This card is actually very easy to make. The two bears are stamped with Black ink and then die cut. The other three die cut background pieces are not stamped but just die cut from white cardstock. The Christmas greeting is from the Christmas to Remember stamp set which contains 9 different Christmas greetings. This card could easily become a birthday card with a simple change of greeting, or it could be left blank and used as a note card.

Supplies with links to my store for purchasing. I like to use the Thick Basic White cardstock for my card bases so that they don’t curl when standing, but I also like to use the regular weight Basic White cardstock for any layering.
