It was a bit dull out today, and then it started to rain, so the bears decided today was a good day to make some Christmas cards. Teddy and Custard decided they wanted to make some using a process called 'decoupage'. Literally, this is French and it means 'to cut out'.
First of all you have to have lots of the same picture, in their case Christmassy ones, and the idea is that you start with the full picture as your base on your card, and then you cut out bits of the other pictures and paste them on top of the first one, making a 3D effect.
Unfortunately, they didn't have lots of the same pictures, so Teddy and Custard hunted through their craft boxes and found some decoupage kits for making cards. Exactly what they needed!!
Each kit contained die-cut card with a main picture and then lots of separate bits of the picture to stick on top. Die-cut means that the pictures are already cut out for you and the pieces just need pressing out.
