Winter Greetings
by Lisa Elton
Hello and Happy New Year! I'm here today with a pair of winter cards just perfect for sending warm winter wishes to family or friends. They feature the wonderful Nordic Bears. I die cut a pair of bears and dressed them up in colors to coordinate with paper I picked from the Memory Box Poinsettia Garland paper pad.
The first little lady was tucked into a Scalloped Stitched Frame that was backed with the Scandinavian Snowflake background. This panel was popped onto a card base covered with more pretty paper from the same 6x6 pad. I like that she seems to be nodding to the sentiment banner!
Okay, lets take a look at where her twin sister ended up, shall we! More of that pretty paper was cut with the large Scalloped Stitched Frame. Not wanting one bit of that fabulous paper to be left out, I used all of the pieces from the die cuts.
For this one, I placed her into a glittery snow globe! I grounded the globe with one of the lovely Nordic Borders and added a banner sentiment to wish the recipient a Happy New Year.
The background in the globe was made using The Scandinavian Snowflake Plate and glitter paper. The shadow portion of the polar bear was cut with vellum. I think it adds just a touch of softness to the card. This twin is dressed up for her New Year's celebration. She's in a fancy snow globe so she needed a little glitz!
Aren't they a sweet pair? Both of the pretty little sentiments are included in the Christmas Banners clear stamps and die set. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today. We love it when you do!

This little lady is dressed up so prettily for sending wintertime wishes on each card! I love the versatility you've shown in your designs with the floral papers. Sweetness!
She needed glitz and you gave it, Lisa! Both cards are wonderful - LOve that patterned paper! It reminds me of my Wplus9 Poinsettia background stamp - I may have to remember these colors!
Just love these Nordic twins - in a globe or frame they are fantastic!

Super sweet set of cards, Lisa. The polar bear is just the cutest!
I love everything in the Nordic collection, and you are making it more and more difficult to resist with every one of the fabulous cards you have made with these wonderful dies. These bears are so wonderful, and the background and papers you used are so gorgeous. I love the detail of the lace bottom and the silver glitter paper beneath the snow globe, and the banner sentiment on the other card is the sweetest.
