Hi! Just having fun with a favorite oldie Whipper Snapper today. This guy is called Bear Delivery. I've had him for years, used him many times, and he is still available here. I stamped him in Versamark and embossed in black, then watercolored and cut out and placed him on the background.
The swirly arch behind him is a large snowflake circle frame die cut which was sent by a friend. Too big for the kind of card I make for Christmas, so I cut it in half and used it like a stylized snow mound. The card base was embossed with a Snowfall folder, then the sentiment and some extra snowflakes added.
After the parts were adhered to the card I started with the dressing up -- Wink of Stella on the Joy and snowflakes, Stickles Stardust glitter glue on the starry gift bag, pearl pen and microfine glitter on his hat trim. I colored the snowflakes with a B00 Copic so they would stand out from the background.
I always have such fun with this guy! Chances are I'll send him to someone I've sent him to before, but each time the card is different. He's always sent with a grin and a giggle and I hope he's received that way, too. Today the grins are for you! Take care!

How adorable! I just love this little guy! What a great holiday card my friend.
Such cuteness! I’m always happy visiting your blog with the unique details, like both embossing techniques here, and that fun flourishy snow drift! Love it, Leslie! xx
So fabulous! He is so cute and I love all the different textures you added to it especially the snow mound. So creative! I hope you don't mind me saying that all the time, but it's so true. Always something new and different to see on your cards.
He is just the cutest, I love Whipper Snapper stamps, I could own them all and be very happy lol, how clever for your snow mound, a great use of that die, a beautifully created winter/holiday card!!
Gasping out loud at all this cuteness! He makes me happy! I love when you use old favorites and they seem new and all dressed up for the occasion. I love your touches of texture, glimmer and shine, this is adorable, Leslie!
Another cute card. Have a great day

Now isn't this a happy little fellow! I love the snowflake embossing folders. I think they are so pretty! He definitely has his hands full of goodies. Great imagine to color!
A grin and giggle is the perfect description for this fun guy, Leslie! I love how you used the filigree circle for a snowbank!
This is so cute. Whippersnapper has another stamp that I'd love to own called Santa face. This bear's face is so cute. [Bunny]
Lovely card and great stamp Leslie plus love the colours. xx
He is such a cute and fun stamp, I can see why you pick him over and over to use. Love the look of water coloring especially on him. Great idea cutting that piece in half, love how you did the snowy background too, pretty shine and sparkle you brought to the whole card, Just brings a big smile to my face :)
This guy is so adorable! You colored him so perfectly. You have such a talent for coloring and making it all seem so simple which it is not! Eye Candy!
OMG he's adorable, no wonder you keep coming out at Christmas ♥
He is just the cutest and I love how you have dressed him and the card up. The subtle texture on your background is perfect. I just can't get over that silly grin of his. I think I need him in my collection. If you don't use the Santa hat he could be a birthday bear.
So adorable and beautifully colored! Sounds like it has TONS of sparkle! I'm sure the same person would enjoy seeing him year after year. :-)
Wow He`s adorable Leslie! fabulous layout and love the colours.
Hugs Pam x
I can see you your love this stamp. What fun he is and what great opportunity he gives for adding some bling. Love how you have added texture and interest with that arch behind him xx
You have the cutest character stamps, Leslie! And you color them so wonderfully, making them dimensional.
Oh he's wonderful! I just love the interest your created around him too...Thanks so much for all your lovely comments Leslie... I really appreciate them. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope the fur babies are keeping well.
Imagine having this whippersnapper showing up at your front door!!! Super cute! I have favorite images I use every holiday too, like visiting with an old friend! ♥ Sue Kment
