In order to make him christmassy I cut the hat from the Dancin&#8217; Snowman die set and the candy cane from the Dancin&#8217; Deer die set, I used white glitter card for the white bits of the hat and the candy cane to give the finished card some sparkle. I cut an oval focal panel using the Altenew Nesting Ovals die set and used the Spellbinders Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing folder by Simon Hurley to add some interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-4.png\" alt=\"Fun Caristmas card with super cute little panda in a Santa hat holding a candy cane!\" class=\"wp-image-596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-4.png 1000w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-4-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The patterned paper is from a 12&#215;12 paper pad I&#8217;ve had in my stash for several years, it was perfect to use with the pandas &amp; the colours that I had used. The card base is made from the same red card that I used to create the strip down the middle of the card and also on the hat and candy cane. The panda is stuck down with foam pads in order to give him some dimension &amp; also enable his legs to move. I heat embossed the &#8216;Wishing You Christmas Cheer&#8217; sentiment from MFT Stamps Christmas Cheer stamp set onto black card, I stacked it up with another two layers of card for some extra dimension. This is such a fun and playful Christmas card which I loved sharing with my loved ones this Christmas. I truly love this die set!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Interactive Christmas card featuring a super cute little Christmas panda with movable legs.\" class=\"wp-image-597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.4-5-1180x1180.png 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for stopping by, I have listed my supplies below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Spellbinders \u2013Dancin&#8217; Birthday Panda <\/li><li>Spellbinders \u2013Dancin&#8217; Snowman<\/li><li>Spellbinders \u2013Dancin&#8217; Deer<\/li><li>Spellbinders &#8211; Sparkling Snow 3D Embossing Folder<\/li><li>Altenew &#8211; Nesting Ovals Die<\/li><li>MFT Stamps &#8211; Christmas Cheer Stamp Set<\/li><li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 Pro Design 300gsm<\/li><li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 Post Box Red Smooth Card 240gsm<\/li><li>Paper Mill Direct &#8211; Black Plain Card 240gsm<\/li><li>Hobby Craft &#8211; White Glitter Card (Discontinued) <\/li><li>VersaMark Ink<\/li><li>Hero Arts &#8211; White Embossing Powder<\/li><li>Envelopes.co.uk \u2013 C6 Bright Red Envelopes 120gsm<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you may have guessed from a previous post I absolutely adore this simple little die set, there is just something about it that makes my heart happy!
