Brown Bear Hugs by Jean Okimoto

Send bear hugs and Valentine wishes with a spooky Halloween forest, a Christmas polar bear and heart garlands from a globe die. Take advantage of the versatility of these great dies and repurpose them for other holidays and occasions. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a combo designed to get the most from your Memory Box collection.

We're using 3 shades of Kraft cardstock here - light, medium and dark. Cut medium Kraft cardstock with the largest Rectangle Basics die. Cut it with the Ghosts in the Forest die.

Cut the red Glitzy Glitter Pad sheet with the Heart Streamer Globe. Add a 4th heart to one of the streamers. Attach the streamers to the trees by taping the ends behind the edges of the diecut. Attach it to a natural A2 notecard.

Cut Layered Polar Bear's background from light Kraft cardstock. Color the ears with a brown marker. Attach a scrap of Black Glossy Paper behind the eyes and nose. Cut the remaining pieces dark Kraft cardstock. Assemble the beqr.

Cut red cardstock from the Berry Red Collection with the smallest Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out die. Cut "hugs" from black cardstock with the Lower Case Poetic Alphabet and attach it to the heart. Attach the heart to the bear using foam tape at the top of the heart.

Attach the diecuts to a natural A2 notecard - use foam dots for the bear. Add the clear Christmas Fairy Crystals. Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front during mailing.

Layered Polar Bear is really a bear for all seasons. Add bunny ears for spring - and a mask, witch hat or ghost costume for Halloween. He's great for baby, thinking-of-you and birthday cards too!
