Christmas in July #5 - Polka Dot Orchard Very Beary Christmas

Hello!

Today is day 5 of my personal #christmasinjuly2025 cardmaking challenge. Today I am using products from Polka Dot Orchard in this fun Christmas card.

I used my Epson Ecotank printer to print the bear image and sentiment from the Polka Dot Orchard Very Beary Christmas digital stamp set onto white cardstock.

I used my Prismacolor colored pencils to color the image. Specific colors:

• Snow: Lilac/Amethyst, Lavender/Orchid, and White

• Bear: 20% French Grey, 10% French Grey, and White

• Tree: Cobalt Turquoise, Peacock Green, and Grass Green

• Trunk: Dark Umber

• Star: Sunburst Yellow, Canary Yellow, and Deco Yellow

• Ornaments and Scarf: Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, and Carmine Red

After I was done coloring the image, I used the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle dies and my Sizzix Big Shot and magic mat to cut a fun shape. I fussy cut around the sentiment with my scissors.

I found a fun star patterned paper in my stash to use as my background and glued everything to an A2 white card base using Art Glitter Glue. To finish off the card, I used a toothpick to apply Kat Scrappiness Rainbow Glitter Mousse over the snow.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed the card and are inspired to create.

Happy crafting!
