Good morning! I’m so excited to be hopping along to celebrate the newest and exclusive Kris Lauren Christmas Bears release from Colorado Craft Company! I decided to use two of the new sets, Snow Globe Bear (though technically I didn’t use the bear in the set) and Knitting Bear, to create a card and tag!
To start, I stamped the snow globe and deer duo from Snow Globe Bear and the knitting bear and penguin from Knitting Bear with copic friendly ink and colored them with copics. I colored the background of the snowglobe with copic markers and then stamped and heat-embossed the snow. I used a glittery white embossing powder to create a sparkly effect. I decided that the tag could also be used as an ornament so I stamped the ‘2022’ onto the globe as well before adding the deer and some red and white twine!
For the card, I blended a background using distress oxide inks in shaded lilac, uncharted mariner, chipped sapphire, and black soot. Then I splattered the panel with water and white gouache and set it aside to dry. I tore white cardstock to create a textured snowy ground and added a few accents with copic markers. I adhered it to the blended panel and then popped up the critters with foam mounting tape for a little dimension!
And that’s it! Make sure to check out the full release as well as all the other adorable Kris Lauren designs that Colorado Craft Company has to offer! Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing day!

Jessica, I can not say enough about your card and snow globe. Love them.
Hi Jessica. Ur cards r so sweet & adorable. It’s funny that on the card w/ the polar bear knitting & the knitting is wrapped around the mouth of the penguin….& sentiment says…”All I want for Christmas…” I see this & I thought…”for this penguin to not talk so much.” 😂 lol Thanks for sharing ur talents w/ us. Great cards, btw.
Love the card and tag. Great coloring! The backgrounds really add to the winter feel.
Love your card. Love how you splattered the snow fall.
I LOVE, Love the reindeers in the snow globe! You did such an inspiring job, I have to have them
That knitting bear is too cute!! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
So cute! Especially like the knitting bear so it’s on my wish list!
I really like how you did the tag/ornament.
Love that you made a tag/ornament with the snow globe. I am sure the recipient will too.
Of course, your card & tag are adorable! I love your technique for snowfall, and also the torn paper snow drifts. Very clever!
Your blending is always so pretty and dimensional. That bear cracks me up. He reminds me of a much younger me who would make handmade Christmas gifts until I felt buried within them…. and enjoyed every minute.
Fabulous card and tag! The scene with the bear and penguin is just adorable, and I love the snowglobe with the deer!
Now I see your beautiful card I absolutely will grab my white paint to make a beautiful sky! So lovely & so inspirational
