PPP Blog Hop Beary Comforting

Hello and welcome to the December 2020 Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!  This month's kit is called Beary Comforting.  It's designed to make 12 cards and is so cute!

Here's a preview of the kit:

I ended up making 6 alternative cards in my first go with the kit contents:

I used the negative circles from one of the pre-cut die cut sheets to showcase the cute gift, flower and cupcake cut outs.

Then, of course I had to use Stampin' Blends from my own stash to color the cute bear. I loved how the bear turned out, and now I can make plenty more, as this is one of the stamps in the included stamp set.  In my opinion, having these monthly stamp sets is one of the things that makes Paper Pumpkin such a great kit.  You get all of these exclusive stamp sets you can use over and over, long after you have used the contents of the kit.

Thanks for checking out my alternatives this month.  Now it's time to visit Cheryl's blog to see what creativity she has in store for us!

ICS Blog Hop Peaceful Moments

Welcome to the December 2020 ICS Blog Hop!  This month our theme is "Thankfully Yours".  We'd like to provide some inspiration for thank you cards after the holidays.  I chose the "Thank You" sentiment from Peaceful Moments (a versatile sentiment set) to make two cards, using the same layout.

I wanted to keep them simple yet elegant, with a touch of color, so I brought in the sprig from the Sunflower dies to help.  I also used clear Stampin' Emboss powder over Early Espresso for a touch of shine and texture.  

Thanks for stopping by this month!  Now it's time to check out Anastasia's blog to see her gorgeous creation!
