Throughout the year I make cards as part of a group volunteer effort. These cards are donated to residents of a hospital for the chronically ill. The residents have no family, and they greatly look forward to receiving cards each month. It lets them know that they are not forgotten and that someone is thinking about them! The residents often ask the staff when they will be receiving cards again and they love to display their handmade cards! I’m honored to take part in such a volunteer program and my hope is that the cards bring a smile to the recipient’s faces. I’m working on Christmas cards to send to the hospital and used the Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack to create these cards.
There are a total of 20 cards and each card includes an inside sentiment with stamped images and I made two or three of each card style. The Beary Cute Stamp Set was used for all of the sentiments and stamped images.
Are you ready for a photo marathon? Here we go!
I completed 10 cards with Real Red card bases.
And 10 more cards with Balmy Blue card bases…
I included a Night of Navy mat on this card and used white pigment ink to stamp snowflakes on the mat. Wink of Stella was added to the stamped snowflakes to add a little sparkle. I used my 2-3/8″ Circle Punch to punch out the sentiment from the center card, then popped up the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Balmy Blue Sparkle Ribbon was added just above the sentiment.
Here is the inside of the card.
The Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack also comes with some fun stickers. On the card below, I popped up one of the stickers with Stampin’ Dimensionals for a sentiment. The panel was also matted to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock.
On this card, I created the square panel and stamped snowflakes in white pigment ink onto the Night of Navy square. I stamped the polar bear and his scarf onto a scrap piece of white cardstock, then used the Beary Cute Punch to punch out the image. The gift on the lower corner of the square is a sticker from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of cardstock and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Several Rhinestones were placed on the Night of Navy square.
For this card, I glued one of the larger cards from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack to the card base. The sentiment was stamped onto one of the smaller cards from the pack, matted to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, then popped up on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I love using the Memories & More cards and envelopes and Card Packs! These cards were a breeze to put together!
This is one of my favorites! I embossed a Basic White mat using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, adhered the embossed panel to the card front, then adhered one of the small cards from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack towards the bottom of the card. I added a Sheer Ribbon bow just above the small card panel.
This was another simple card to put together. I adhered one of the large panels from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack to the card base. I cut a rectangle from white cardstock and stamped the tree and sentiment onto the rectangle. The rectangle was matted to a piece of Real Red cardstock and the rectangle was adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This is the last card style I created. I adhered the large panel to the card base. The polar bear image is a sticker and I popped this up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The tree sticker was adhered directly to the card front.
I hope you enjoyed seeing the cards that I created with the Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards and Envelopes and the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack! I really enjoyed creating these cards and they are already to go. I forgot to mention that there are coordinating envelopes for the cards as well. Plus, I have extra cards from the Card Pack so I can make more cards!
I don’t have any detailed instructions on how to create these cards…you can pretty much mix and match products you have on hand with the Memories & More products. I did include the supplies I used though…you will find that list at the end of this post.
Have a “Beary” great day!
