Hello and welcome! I'm still working on Christmas cards....feels like it's taking longer this year - or maybe I'm just getting older!!!
I have a fun card today that was inspired by a couple of challenges that I'll list below. I started with a Gina K Designs white heavyweight card base and stamped envelopes from Altenew's "Crafty Friends" stamp set and colored them with markers. The sentiment is from Altenew's "Happy Mail" stamp set.
I stamped and cut the bear from MFT's "Polar Bear Pals" stamp set and cut him out with my Scan n Cut. I colored him in the same colors and added some light gray shading on him and under where he would be sitting. I used a Clarity stencil brush with some Weathered Wood Distress Ink to fill in a light bit of color. Then I used fun foam and cut a piece to put under the bear and pop him up. The Santa Hat is from MFT's "Beast Friends" set and I fussy cut it out and colored it then added it to the bear's head. I cut a blue and a red heart with a CC Designs Autumn die set and added them, then added lots of tiny heart sequins for a little shine and to help it look like the love he is sending is floating upwards.

I had so much fun making this card! Here's another view:
