Beary Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome to our Close to My Heart Beary Christmas Blog Hop! About ten CTMH Independent Consultants are showcasing items they created using the Beary Christmas collection available in Holiday Expressions. You will find the collection on pages 34 through 44 of the Holiday Expressions Idea Book. The Beary Christmas collection, along with the other collections in Holiday Expressions, are retiring at the end of December.

If you are visiting from Erica Haskin's Dresses and Spurs then you are on the right track. Carol Loftus is our hostess and her blog is the beginning of our hop.

For our Beary Christmas Blog Hop I created this card

When I was looking at the Beary Christmas supplies I had, I was drawn to the whimsical animals in the Scrapbooking Stamp Set, so I used that inspiration for creating my card.

Before you visit ***Shirley Ross - the Rockin' heART Stamper***, the supplies I used to create my project are listed below.

All supplies are from Close To My Heart except where noted:

• Beary Christmas Scrapbooking Stamp + Thin Cuts (Z4047), Beary Christmas Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts (Z4046)
• Beary Christmas Paper Packet (X7225B)
• 12" X 12" Cardstock: White Daisy (1385)
• 5½" × 4¼" White Cards & Envelopes, Value Pack (X254)
• Black Memento™ Ink Pad (Z899)
• Watercolor Paints (Z3132); Waterbrush—Small Round (Z3224)
• Silver Shimmer Trim (Z1799)
• adhesives: Adhesive Runner (Z3372), Thin 3-D Foam Tape (Z2060), 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151)
• Cricut® Cuttlebug™ (available at Level 1 of Hostess Rewards; see page 4 of Annual Inspirations 2017-2018)

If you are not already working with a CTMH Independent Consultant, you may purchase all of the supplies I used at my Consultant Website.
