**ANNOUNCEMENT** Button Bear is back!!!

As you know, the Scrapbuggy store closed, much to my sadness and to the sadness of many others, two years ago. Many people have emailed me since that time asking about Button Bear, Scrapbuggy's most popular die EVER. Today's announcement, I'm happy to say, is the Button Bear die is returning for a limited engagement!!! Don't miss your opportunity to get this adorable die while you can. Estimated arrival, July 22, 2014, a limited supply of the Button Bear die will be available for purchase. To get on the waiting list, please email gianninatarantino@gmail.com

Here are a few examples of how I have used this super sweet bear. Use the temp search button on the right sidebar to search for more ideas on this blog.

Most of these bears are "wearing" accessory pieces made to compliment this die. However, those are no longer available, but you can use your Cricut or other cutting machine to make clothes for your bear. Too cute! This one is wearing a rain hat, coat and carrying an umbrella.

Pirate accessories are pretty easy to make too. To coordinate with this outfit, I used 2x2 Quickutz pirate sword, and cannon dies.

You can also switch up the faces by using stamps. Super cute Peachy Keen Stamp faces make these bears come alive. I used him this time as a peeker holding his own baby teddy bear.

....or fall asleep!

For this bear, I simply cut the bear from pattern paper to make toy teddy bear. And the sleepy face is again by Peachy Keen Stamps. See his button?

 Don't limit yourself on how you use them either. This time I've used it on a scrapbook page, fitting his outfit to match the outfit in Emmy's picture.

Here he is a little closer. 

So there you have a few ideas to spark your creativity. So many things you can do with him. If you don't have this die already, please don't miss out this time, as I have no idea when or even if it will ever be available again. Remember to email Gia to get on the waiting list at gianninatarantino@gmail.com  Crossing fingers everyone who wants one is able to get one!!

Thanks so much for coming by today!
