Make this beary cute Christmas Card this year using the Beary Cute Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! It’s so easy to make your own personalized handmade Christmas Cards with these adorable images and sentiments!
For this card, I went with a non-traditional color combination that I really like!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Boho Blue cardstock in half at 4-1/4” score line. Open the card and run just the front of the card through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. Refold the card and burnish well with your bone folder.
- Adhere a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock inside card.
- Adhere the 3” x 5-1/2” piece of Bright & Beautiful Paper to the front of the card, about 1/4” up from the bottom.
- Using a 2-1/4” x 4” piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the big bear on the left using Black Memento Ink. Stamp the present to right of bear and then the small bear to the right of the present using the same ink.
- Color in the bears using the Light Balmy Blue Blend; color in the package using the Highland Heather Blends. Stamp the scarf onto the big bear using Gorgeous Grape ink. Adhere the White cardstock to the front of the card as shown in the sample.
- Using the 1-3/4” x 2-1/2” piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment using Gorgeous Grape ink. Adhere to the 2” x 2-3/4” piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and adhere to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add 2 of the Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems to the right of sentiment to finish.
A Tip from Barb
This is a super simple card but I “rated” it at Worker Bee simply because of the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. If you don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine or the Embossing Folder, or if you’d prefer to make large multiples of this card, you can simply leave the Embossing Folder off and it will become a very quick & easy Busy Bee card!
