So glad you popped into my blog today! I know its a little early but I wanted to create a Christmas card with one of the new Stamp bundles in the Mini Catalog by Stampin Up®

I chose the Arctic Bears bundle. I had designed a few other cards with this set and they all tended to be on the masculine side (look for them later on this blog). So I wanted to bring in some feminine colors.

So I decided to use the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper. Perfect for those soft colors.

I hope you enjoy this card and it gives you some creative ideas for Christmas!
