Cut a 12″ x 1/2″ strip of green swells paper and adhere near the bottom. And cut a 12″ x 1-1/4″ strip of snowflakes paper and adhere in the middle.

Step 2: Using the Polar Bears Border Punch, punch borders with White, Island Waters, Dark Sea Green and Navy Solid Cardstock. Use the white border as the base. Cut apart the other borders into mama/baby bear sections. Adhere sections on the base, alternating colors. Mount on the border.

Step 3: Add a mountain border sticker. Adhere embellishments using foam squares.

Like Snowflakes Border

Step 1: Cut a 12″ x 3″ strip of pine boughs paper for the base.

Step 2: Using the inside of the medium Custom Cutting System Circle Pattern and the Red Blade, cut three circles of snowy paper and two circles of green swells paper. Trim off the bottom 1/4″ of each circle and adhere side by side on the border, alternating colors as shown. Trim out the “Like Snowflakes…” strip from designer paper and adhere just beneath them, about 1/2″ from the bottom edge of the base.
