He’s so cute. I love that he can have him sitting on the ground or on his bike.

I'm busy collecting supplies to make some fun cards - Alten is a winner!

Cute. A little more trying to put together. It was easier to stamp everything but the hat then die cut. The die cut is not a close cut.

To add to what Leslie wrote above, hat placement is tricky if you are using the die. I ended up partially die cutting Alten and then finishing around the hat by hand, but if you stamp him all but the hat and then die cut you will get a perfect hat placement as well as everything else lining up well within the die. Also the bow tie especially needs to be inked lightly several times to avoid filling in the fine lines with ink. I used a white pen to put in the lines I had overinked. The mouth die is very tiny but stamps perfectly. He is super cute and I am looking forward to more fun with Alten. I love Leslie's ideas for more things to put in the basket!

This set is adorable and I've thoroughly enjoyed finding little doodads for the basket on the bike. I filled it with fish for my father in law who loves fishing; flowers for my sister; and books for my mom, an avid reader. My minor gripe is that there are several tiny pieces (the tie, sleeve, tongue and inside arm) that can be difficult to align. Tip: use the die cut *before* putting the hat on the bear, as it's difficult to find the correct place without a guide.
