10. Stamp cup on scrap of Cinnamon Cider card stock. Cut out with coordinating die.
10. Stamp large bear on Thick White card stock. Cut out with coordinating die. Stamp sweater portion of stamp on Blue patterned paper. Use scissors to cut out sweater, but before adhering to bear, cut the additional portions as shown in the photo below. The thick lines show how to cut the sleeves and hands so the hand to the left shows through the sweater, and the hand to the right can be pulled up slightly to slide the handle of the coffee cup under it. NOTE: You also will need to cut around the bear’s arm and hand on the right side to slide the handle of the coffee cup under it – see thick green line below.
11. Once all pieces
are cut as shown, adhere sweater to bear (I used Liquid Glue because it gives
you a little extra “wiggle” time to move it into position.) Slightly pull up hand on right, apply liquid
glue to back of cup and slide handle under hand. Glue bear to inside as shown.
