Party Paws Christmas Sneak Peek

My design today features this adorable image from the new Party Paws Release -  Noel.


I stamped the image onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock and colored with my Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils.

ribbon: 046, 047, 058


bear: 034, 112, 199, 120
hat: 024, 026, 027, 112 
tag: 112


I paper pieced some design paper for the present and cut him out with the largest die in the Die'sire Essentials Dies - Squares. I ran it through my eBosser and got the cut and emboss in one pass. I left the piece in the die and added a light shade of Memento Ink Dew Drops  london fog with a round blender tool. I filled in the one tiny area on the lid with Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencil 026 and added grounding with 112. TIP: Edge your paper pieces with a black water based marker from the back side - just in case the marker slips, it will be on the back. 


I placed the cute little bear on a matching layer of design paper, over the Vintage Christmas Collection 8" x 8" Embossing Folder - Vintage Bows - so cute, matches the bow on the present!  For a touch of bling and dimension, I used Stickles star dust on his hat and to pop the dots in image. I stamped "Joy" on the tag from Sentimentals EZMount Stamp Set - Jingle Bells.


On the inside, I added sentiment from the Party Paws set.


The new release will include eight Stamp sets and a 
twin CD-ROM packed with colored images, design papers, sentiments and more!
