Welcome to week thirty-three of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week, Misty Moonlight, is a beautiful blue that previously was an In Colour but has now joined the Neutrals family as a core colour. It’s one of my favourite all time colours!
As this week is our last AWH Colour Creations for 2023 and it is only 12 days until Christmas I thought I’d share some quick Christmas cards that are easy to whip up at the last minute.
These three cards all use products from the Beary Christmas Suite Collection which is retiring soon, with many of the products on sale now.
The card base and envelopes are from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelope packs. This pack includes 20 cards and envelopes and is currently reduced to $12.25 , which works out to be just 61 cents per card and envelope!
The cards also use the Beary Cute Bundle, which includes the Beary Cute Stamp Set and the Beary Cute Punch. I’ve stamped all the bears in Misty Moonlight, punching out the large bears with the Beary Cute Punch and fussy cutting the small bears with paper snips.
Card one features the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper with a sentiment from the Beary Cute stamp set.
White bakers twine was coloured using my Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends before being tied into a bow.
Card two uses the envelope lining as the top layer of the card with the sentiment cut into individual words and arranged on top of the envelope lining layer. Adhesive snowflakes topped with adhesive-backed glitter sequins complete the scene.
Card three has three bears in a row, stamped in Misty Moonlight with Balmy Blue scarves. Once again the adhesive-backed glitter sequins add a touch of festive sparkle to another DSP design from the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper.
Which is your favourite card of the three?
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Woollard – I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!

Catherine Proctor – you are here!
We’re taking a two-week break over the Christmas and New Year period, but will return on Wednesday, 3rd January when we’ll be back showcasing Mossy Meadow. I hope you can join us then.
In the meantime, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I love them all, I can’t choose a favourite, Cathy. The use of the Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelope pack makes these cards come together quickly. The embellishments are the perfect additions too in those snowflakes and the glitter sequins!
So beautiful, Cath. Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight go so nicely together. My favourite feature of your adorable cards is the liberal use of the adhesive-backed glitter sequins!
Oh my gosh, your cards are all so adorable that I can’t possibly choose a favourite! The polar bears look fantastic on the DSP backgrounds. I may end up regretting not getting the stamp/punch bundle!
