Provided by this source.
Before anything, you first need a decoupage teddy bear. You can purchase this in arts and crafts stores. Or look at this to see how you can make a decoupage.
1. Start off by folding a card stock in half.
2. Put your 3D decoupage image on the front of the card. Then, draw a box around the image and leave half of an inch border on each side.
3. You can use a corner punch or a scissor to round off the top right hand corner.
4. Taking a piece of colored paper of your choice, place it on the inside of the card so that the square flap stands out.
5. Next, put your decoupage picture on the front of the card and secure it in place with tape or glue.
6. You can decorate the front panel of the card along the empty space.
