Directions:

First things first – if you haven’t made your card yet, go ahead and do that. I made mine a basic square shape but yours can be any shape or size you like!
Now grab your large potato and knife.
Cut your potato in half. You only need ONE potato half for your craft. This is your stamp for the polar bear’s head.
Squirt some white craft paint on your paper plate.
Rub your potato half in the white paint, until it’s completely covered.
Next take the potato half and stamp it in the center of the white cardstock.
Lift up the potato half and set it on the paper plate.
Real quick, using the small paint brush or your finger, add two white ears on your stamped design.
Set aside the card to allow it to dry completely.
Now grab your gray cardstock paper and scissors.
Cut out an oval nose piece for the polar bear.
Use the Sharpie marker to draw on a nose/mouth on the oval shape.
When the stamped design from earlier is dry enough, go ahead and grab it, along with the glue stick.
Secure the paper piece to the stamped design.
Add on the wiggle eyes.
To finish off the potato stamped polar bear card, use the Sharpie marker to write a clever message like “love you beary much” to the front of the card, as well as anything else you like inside.
Add any other embellishments you see fit, before gifting away your stamped potato polar bear card proudly!
Discard the used potato afterwards {please do not attempt to eat it afterwards.}
