Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends for Amy's Inkin' Krew Monthly Blog Hop

 Hello my stamping friends! Welcome to our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew hop. Our theme for this month is "Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays" and we can interpret that any way we want and use any product we wish. Here is what I created for it using the Christmas Friends Stamp Set.

I just think this polar bear is the cutest...let's take a closer look...

My design is inspired by the challenge at Sunday Stamps.

I scored 8 lines with my Trimmer on a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of Gray Granite Cardstock. The DSP strip is 1" x 5 1/2". My sentiment is adhered with Dimensionals. The rest of product I used is listed in the chart at the end of my post.

For the inside...

The sentiment is from Christmas Friends, the snowy ground is from Nests of Winter DSP. The bear and tree are cut from the retired Beary Christmas DSP.
