Arctic Bear

Years ago, Stampin' Up! had a beautiful bear stamp set called Polar Bears. I no longer have that stamp set, but it was a favorite, but because it retired, I sold it. So when I saw the new Arctic Bear set that will appear in the new July-December Mini on page 39, I had to preorder this month. This is the card I made using the beautiful Peaceful Place DSP.

It is a new stamp set that will become available, on Tuesday. August 3. It is called Arctic Bear and it also comes as a Bundle with the Polar Bear Dies on page 39. I also used the new Peaceful Place 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper for the background. Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set: Arctic Bear

Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic White, Peaceful Place Specialty DSP

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Polar Bear Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies, Paper Snips, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals, Wink of Stella

1. The base of the card is Basic Black cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2. The Peaceful Place Specialty DSP is cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the base of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. Die-cut the icicle border die from Basic White cardstock using the Polar Bear Dies, and adhere to the upper left-hand corner with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

4. Ink up the bear stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White cardstock. Die-cut with the Polar Bear Dies and set aside.

5. Cut Basic White cardstock at 2-1/2” x 4”. Ink up the ice mound and stamp on the Basic White cardstock. Trim it out with the Paper Snips and adhere to the bottom of the DSP. Add the die-cut bear with Dimensionals.

6. Ink up the sentiment “Thinking of You” on Basic White. Use the Tasteful Labels Die to die-cut it out. Use Dimensionals to adhere to the upper right-hand of the card.

The products for this card will be available on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, from the Mini Catalog.
