Peekaboo Baby Bear

A big brown box with new stamps from Stampin' Up!® with my Holiday Catalogue pre-order arrived on my door step on Friday morning. Oh yay! Delivered in time for the weekend. I couldn't play with it through the day though because Friday is my day with my small grandson, Oliver.




When I finally had time, after dinner, I barely had any energy but this afternoon I did get a chance to stamp and inked up the Cookie-Cutter Christmas. The sketch for Sunday Stamps was the perfect kick-start for my inspiration today, although I've deviated slightly from the plan.

That stamp and the matching Cookie-Cutter Builder Punch were  #1 on my wish list, just for the cuteness factor I suspect. For this card, no punch required and the sweet little face, and the separate pair of ears are so easy to add with a photopolymer stamp. The other stamps are pretty cute too, a Santa, Reindeer, Eskimo and gingerbread man and all can be punched out. For the reindeer, you turn the punch the other way and what were legs for the other stamps are the antlers. I'm going to try that stamp out next. I'm sure with a change of patterned paper and a red bow, the teddy will be super-cute for Christmas too.

Thanks for dropping in,
enjoy your {crafty} weekend too
