Polar Expressions


This Polar Bear die set (Amy Design) was another NBUS item I was determined to use before this Christmas was over!  Thank you to Darnell and NBUS Challenge #21 for giving me some much needed incentive to use the stuff I buy rather than just admiring it in its packaging!  

I cut the bears from off-white card stock, distressed them with Broken China DI and created a snowy night time scene using some DP and this stitched cloud border die - I was surprised how well this die doubles as a snow bank!

Another reason I wanted to use these dies was that the prompt for this Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge is Christmas Critters.  


At 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, the challenge is to use a previous 2020 challenge and I chose the September 2020 Theme Challenge which is Polar Bears/Penguins.   



Use Your Stuff Challenge #412 has a Winter/Snow/Christmas Challenge


and Inkspirational Challenge #228 also has a Snow Challenge



The Sisterhood of Crafters has an Anything Christmas/Winter Goes Challenge


Last but definitely not least, I would also like to enter Pixie's Snippet Challenge #393!



Thanks for stopping by - I hope you enjoyed your visit.  If you leave a comment, I'll know where to find you and can return the favour!

Hugs and stay safe,

Kate

  1. Genious to use the "clouds" as snowbanks, but here it's your design and night sky that make this beauty shine!

  9. Hello Kate! You're the only person left from the Grand Draw who hasn't spotted that they won a prize! Can you please take a look at my post of 17th January and drop me an email with your address. If you don't want the prize I will draw it again in a week's time. I do hope all is well at your end!
