Hello friends! This is Mindy with
Mindy Eggen Design
, and I’m so excited to be back with you for
Day 6 of the 12 Days of Stitchmas
!
Living in an area that experiences all four seasons, I truly appreciate the beauty that winter brings—even if the temperatures dip pretty low. It’s the perfect time of year to cozy up and pull out some stitching projects, whether that’s on fabric or, in today’s case, on cardstock.
For today’s feature, we have the sweetest little polar bear design. One of the things I absolutely love about the Stitchmas boxes is how approachable they are. The patterns are minimal, quick to complete, and always bring such a charming touch to your holiday crafting.
The first card I created features the polar bear stitched on white cardstock, set against a soft
Chiffon
background. I love how the light background lets the polar bear shine while the bright red scarf adds a bold pop of color.
For my second card, I brought in the tree and sentiment from Day 3. The overall design stays clean and simple, making it quick to put together, yet it still has plenty of charm and variation.
That wraps up my projects for
Day 6 of the 12 Days of Stitchmas
! I had so much fun creating with this sweet polar bear and pairing it with elements from previous days—it’s always exciting to see how easily these designs come together.
