Arctic Bears Cards

There is a a neat stamp and die set from Stampin' Up called Arctic Bears. I love polar bears so I really wanted to do something with these images. 

The first card is a simple Z fold card. I used some retired SU paper that has beautiful winter scenes on it. The sentiment was stamped and embossed and added to an outline piece. The placement of that piece determined where the mama and baby bears would be placed inside. I added some snowflakes to the edges of the sentiment and there is a panel on the back to write a message. This card was inspired by Bronwyn Eastley. 

The second card is a very simple scene with a bold sentiment. The ice background was stamped in two parts and cut to fit the lower part of the card. The bear was also stamped and die cut. The background and the bear were adhered to a piece of snowflake patterned paper. The sentiment was die cut three times and stacked. Easy!
