This card featuring a polar bear is another one of the cards that I made at the online team training day that I took part in back in September. It is a simple, but very effective card layout with Designer Series Paper [DSP].
The patterned side of the Playful Penguins Designer Series Paper [DSP], which was available during the August – September Sale-A-Bration, has been used for the background of this card. I love the pastel colours of this paper. The colours include Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, Fresh Freesia and Soft Sea Foam.
The two sides of the Playful Penguins DSP are quite different. One side features penguins, polar bears, foxes and snowmen. The other side has a variety of patterns in the soft pastel colours.
This card features three different patterns in the background giving the card some wonderful contrast. The snowflake also adds a feature and some texture to the card. The polar bear has been fussy cut from one of the sheets and adhered with Dimensionals.
The sentiment “From our house to yours” comes from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Unfortunately it is now a retired stamp set. The sentiment was a perfect size for the small banner on this card which is from the Tasteful Labels dies..
Lastly three Opal Rounds have also been added.
Here are the supplies that I have used. The Playful Penguins DSP and Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set are no longer current products and not included on this list.
This card design is a fairly simple one to make and it looks great. Why not give the layout a go, but with completely different paper and with a different feature on the front?
