A beautiful bear and a festive fox…

Throughout the month of July, we’ve invited some fabulous guest designers to visit here on our blog. They are sure to inspire us all to get a jumpstart on our Christmas creations. Join us over the next three weeks as these wonderful guests feature our classic Christmas stamps and dies. And just when your Christmas crafting mojo is kicking in, we will be here in August to share with you all of our NEW Christmas products!

Our guest designer, Heather Hoffman, is back today. Yay! Let’s get started with this beary special card.

Notes from Heather: I love to add a shadow under die cut images – such a little touch, but adds so much more realism to the card. Warm Gray Copics are my favorite for this – and as you can see, they work on kraft as well as white cardstock.

And the furry fun doesn’t end there. Heather’s next card is pure holiday happiness.

Notes from Heather: This image (30-388 Snow Much Fun) is SOOO incredibly darling! Watercolors, plaid, and some texture with jute twine – what else do you need?
