Bear Hugs Design Team Call





Bear Hugs Design Team Call

In need of a few design team members to
join Bear Hugs. If you want to have some
fun creating with some of the cutest files
anywhere, please contact Bear Hugs with
either a web address, photo gallery, blog
where Bear Hugs can see your work or
send 3 or 4 samples of your work to the
email address listed at the bottom of this post.

Contact information for tryouts are at the
bottom of this posting.

Looking for people for scrap page layouts,
card making, hybrid 3d projects-such as gift
bags or boxes please consider trying out for the team!

The following requirements are needed:

#1.You need to have a personal blog where you
can display the projects you make. If you do not
have a blog, than a  Facebook page or photo
gallery page will suffice.

#2.You need to have an electronic cutting
 machine that is  capable of cutting Bear Hug
files. The files are in svg and studio formats.

#3.You need to create at least one project
per week. That's it!  No heavy obligations,
(after all summer is coming right?)
However, you may do as many projects as
you'd like.  The initial design team term will
run for 3 months, with a chance for a longer term.

#4.You are allowed to sell your final handmade
physical projects on Ebay, Etsy, or at craft fairs.
You can NEVER give away, sell  or share in any
groups, any of the actual cutting files. If you  sell
your finished pages or project, you need to give
credit for the cut file to Bear Hugs/Art and
Scraps. These must be actual physical cut and
assembled finished projects.

#5. You need to become a follower of Bear Hugs
 blog, as well as to 'like' Bear Hugs Facebook fan
page. The design team has their own Facebook
group where you will be added. This is a closed
private group.

In exchange for being on the team, you will
receive Bear Hugs cutting  files free of charge
and a chance to show off your work! Bear Hugs
will not tell you that you can not do other
peoples files while you are on their team, but
your obligation to Bear Hugs would be to give
their files as much exposure as you do someone
else's. However, you can not already be on
another design team that sells cutting files.

If you'd like to try out for a spot on the team
please send samples of your work or an
address where they are displayed to
Bear_Hugs_Designs@yahoo.com.

Here are a couple of samples from
Bear Hugs files.

This adorable layout using 'Hammin' It Up'
cutting file was created by
design team member Tamera



This adorable layout using Gone Fishing
cutting file was created by
design team member Alisha



Here are a couple more samples of 
paper piecings from Bear Hugs files.

Now on to my project for today. 
I decided to show you some wonderful
and cute recipes I have found.

Easter Bunny Cake Pops

Don't they look YUMMY!

  • Shape the balls into a bunny head shape.
  • Dip in candy coating color of your choice and let dry.
  • Use the rounded side of a cookie cutter and cut of the end of the candy corn. Dip the end in a little bit of the melted candy coating and adhere it to the top of the bunny head. Hold in place until it sets. If your candy coating isn’t too hot, this should just take a few seconds.
  • Let the bunny heads with ears sit in the styrofoam block until all the ears are dry.
  • When dry, use a little bit of melted candy coating to glue the facial features on. Use a toothpick and dab a little of the coating in position for the eyes and nose and adhere the sprinkles.
  • When the eyes and noses are dry, use your pens to draw on the mouth. Then draw on the eye color and pupils.
Carrot Cake Pops



You will need: carrot cake mix, cream cheese frosting, about three cups of orange candy melts, half a cup of green candy melts, and lollipop sticks.  All this stuff is about $10 and yields 20 carrot cake pops.

You will need: carrot cake mix, cream cheese frosting, about three cups of orange candy melts, half a cup of green candy melts, and lollipop sticks.  All this stuff is about $10 and yields 20 carrot cake pops.

1. Bake your cake according to package instructions.  Let cool.  Crumble baked cake into a bowl and mix with 2/3 of the frosting.

2. With clean hands, take about 1/6 cup of cake and form into a carrot shape.  Chill in the refrigerator for an hour. 

3. Melt green candy melts.  Dip about 1-1/2″ of the lollipop stick.  Insert 1″ into the chilled carrot cakes.  The candy melt will automatically pool around the lollipop stick.

4. Melt orange candy melts in a tall, narrow container. Dip the carrot cakes.  Tap off excess by holding the stick with one hand and flicking the tip of the stick with fingers of the other hand.  Stick into a Styrofoam block and let dry.

Enjoy making these carrot cake pops for Easter!
