Fluzzy Fluffy Bears








I have been asked how to make fluffy bears, now there are 2 ways you can either make tear bears or you can use velvet papers and my dies. The velvet paper is easy to use with my dies and cuts like card. i have made some samples for you all to look at ....

Step 1. Cut out your bear in velvet paper and in thin card i do this so it gives the velvet paper stiffness so its easier to stick together.

Step 2. stick the velvet paper onto the card bear parts and ink round the edges as normal... i did direct ink pad to paper no dauber this time as the paper is fluffy the ink pad works better, and i used a color close to the velvet paper color.

Step 3. Draw the face on as normal, draw round something if you can its much better as the paper is fluffy and the ink can spread.

Step 4. put your finishing touches on your bears ... and hey presto you have a fluffy bear to add to any project:)

Hope you have enjoyed today's lesson ... Class Dismissed! heheheheh

Making Monkey's












I though i would share with you all how i make my monkey's i used bear die #7, bear die#1, quickutz double die Easter egg, and my animal die for the eyes, I also hand cut a tail you can also make a template for this using the same technique as with the monkey head, draw a shape you like and then cut it out and use it as a template you cut round, then each time you will have the same shape:)

Step one. cut all the pieces that i have as in photo 1, as you can see i cut the face and smaller egg body and the feet in a tan colour.

Step 2. make yourself a template for the head so you always get the same shape, simply cut a head from bear die #1 and draw a shape you are happy with then cut it our and draw round it to make you outer monkey head. you can see in photo 2 and 3 how to do this.

Step 3. Ink and and stick all the bits you have together just as i have in photo 4, you can see i cut the tan colour for the feet so it looks like a pad on the bottom of the foot.

Step 4. When you have done all these steps you should have something that looks like a monkey, if you want to you can leave it plain you you can add a bow or eyelashes to make the most of you very own little money!


Hope you have enjoyed this little tip... have fun hugs trak xxx
