I'm the Gingerbear Boy!!!
My friend Britiney gave me this idea, to make the Build-a-Bear die into a gingerbread/gingerbear boy! I know she is going to have to borrow my die now, call me B!
Isn't he so cute on his baking sheet, looking good enough to eat!!! I used my scallop edge punch to make the frosting squiggles for his wrists and ankles (do bears have ankles?). Anyway, the scallops around the neck were made by punching out a 1-3/8" circle and then punching out the scallop circle around that. I only used a small portion of it. I decided his nose and mouth should be red like candy. The buttons are made with a 1/4" circle punch and then I added two way glue and dazzling diamonds glitter. I had to put him on a 6x6 card so that everything I wanted would fit on there. The baking sheet is 3-3/4" x 5-1/4" with the corners rounded, the handles were made with the word window punch.
I inked the saying from the Sweet Seasons set with markers to make it a little more exciting. Then I cut it out with my Circles #2 die, now that was tricky and mounted it on the largest circle on that die and accented it with my white gel pen and faux stitching. The DSP is from the Merry Moments collection, I like how it has red and green colors with CHOCOLATE CHIP, my favorite color!
ONE MORE THING.... Speaking of cute Build-a-Bears, one BRONCO BEAR fan has won this card...
AND THE WINNER IS........
