DIY: a cute Christmas card with polar bear!

I

 n these days I'm thinking about the Christmas gifts for my friends and I would like to create hand made special cards for them, I'm experimenting with the cardboard and I'd like to share my creations with you.
The first card I created has a cute polar bear dressed like Santa Claus that comes out of the card with a  three-dimensional effect.

Polar Bear Christmas greeting Card
You need:
- light blue, white and red cardboard
-  fine tip black marker
- double-sided adhesive tape
-scissors

Step 1:
-First of all cut a rectangle 12"x 4" from the light blue cardboard, it's the base of your card.
-Draw on the white cardboard with a fine tip black marker the polar bear's head and with a pencil all the white parts and the tree shape. 
You can use my drawings:

-Cut all the shapes
-On the red cardboard draw and cut all the shapes for bear's slevees, gloves, Santa hat and two stripes for the body:

  Step 2:
 -Stick the two stripes with double-sided adhesive tape as shown in the image below and fold stripe 1 on stripe2:

 
- Fold stripe 2 on stripe 1 and so on until the end of the stripes

 

Stick the bear's sleeves and gloves with the tape:
