Today’s card is a perfect layout to use leftover strips of designer paper. You can alter everything easily to coordinate for a specific occasion. My version today is a Winter or Christmas card. Although the colors are not your traditional Christmas colors by any means.
The jolly polar bear is from the Warm & Toasty stamp set. It is full of cute winter images. The DSP is the Play With Pattern Designer Series Paper 6×6 stack. I love all of the colors in the package. I chose the Night of Navy and Calypso Coral for my pairing.
The bear is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored using Stamin’ Blends. There really is not much to color. I did highlight the edges of the bear with the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to show the “cold”. It does not show up very much in the photo.
The sentiment is from the Host Rewards stamp set A Merry Hello. It is an adorable stamp set that was high on my must have list when the Mini Catalog debuted. I love the look of stamping on DSP. I just forget to do that sometimes.
I have all of the measurements listed just below so you can give your scraps pieces a new look. Thank you for visiting today! I really appreciate you stopping by and love to hear from you. I very much appreciate your comments. Although I had some glitches on Wednesday’s blog hop with comments. They all went to spam! Yikes!! Hopefully that is all corrected now.

How sweet! It’s always a good day to use leftover strips in a way that doesn’t make them look leftover. ♥
