Doesn't that polar bear hug just make you smile? You know cute and sweet makes me happy!
Let's make a couple more people happy, shall we?
The giveaway for Visions of Sugarplums Day 2 is two sets of House Dies.
The winners (randomly selected by husband - sorry Louisa was already gone) are:
Congratulations, Connie and Maria! Email me with your address and I'll get the dies off to you.
Thank you to everyone who left such sweet comments - that makes me happy, too!
Welcome to the Visions of Sugarplums challenge. The theme is Christmas/Winter. Link up new projects by December 16th.
The prize is a $20.00 gift certificate to Mama Elephant.
Check out this darling polar bear made with dies from Mama Elephant.
He's just so sweet holding a candy cane. Wouldn't he make a great stocking stuffer or gift for a Secret Santa?
Cut two bears. Mine are 5" long. Make sure your paper strip is a little longer than what you want to end up with. (I just realized that this is the kitty die, but it doesn't make any difference. The bear just has rounder ears!)
Decorate the face. (The eyes from this one are actually cut using the gingerbread eyes from Paper Sweeties.)
Then cut two strips of paper that are 7/8" by 2 1/4 inches. Round one end. These will be the arms. About 1 3/4" shows in the front and the rest is folded to the back of the bear and glued. Glue the arms together in the front (not to the body of the bear).
The bow on the candy cane keeps it from falling out the bottom.
Glue the second bear shape onto the back covering where the arms are glued to the back.
This is the back of mine.
If you would like a chance to win more prizes and get great Christmas ideas. Come take a look at Visions of Sugarplums (December 2 - 4). Find the first day HERE.
Looking forward to seeing your Christmas/Winter creations! Link up your projects here:
