DOstamperSTARS Sharing Their Talents & Card Contest

Two of the favorite activities at every DOstamperSTARS get-together is Swapping and Sharing!  And this month was no different!

This months swap theme was Spring Occasions - St Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, etc.  We had some great card swaps.  In fact - they were SO great, they just couldn't decide who's they like the best.  So we had a 3-way tie between Pixie, Stephanie & Gayle.

 

Here's a peak at some of the other projects that were shared

By Stephanie (Sweet Pea Pencils - great idea)

By Pixie (Sweet Pea card)

By Ann (her afterschool kids class)

Build-a-Bear Workshop Name Frames - Oh so CUTE!

Hey - did you know?  I was selected by Stampin' Up! as one of 60 demonstrators to test Build-a-Bear Workshop (BABW) Parties.  So I got in gear and made up some cutes samples. 

Of course - when I think of BABW, I think of my grandsons Max & Sam. Aren't they cute?!

Here's a cute name frame I made for each of them to match their rooms.  I just love the way they turned out!!

I first cut a chipboard bear so they would be sturdy.  Then decorated the bears using the Pawsitively Prints Designer Series Paper (#118060) and cardstock to match.  The clothes were die cut with the Beary Essentials Bigz Die (#117978).  The cap and star was cut with Beary Boy Sizzlit Die (#117981).  The letters were cut with my new Alphabet Simple Letters Bigz Dies (#115960) - LOVE 'EM!

Max's uses: Close to Cocoa, Basic Black, Chocolate Chip, Brilliant Blue, Brocade Blue and Pumpkin Pie. 
Sam's uses: Creamy Caramel, Really Rust, Close to Cocoa Basic Black & Chocolate Chip.  

FYI - The frames fit a 4x6 photo

I'm so excited to give these to them for Christmas!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Stampin' Up! Build-a-Bear Workshop Collection

 

Each month at my Technique Tuesday classes, besides two technique cards, I also feature a project made with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  This month they got to make Build-A-Bears!  Boy - this was a huge hit!  Everyone loved how quick, easy and SO CUTE these bears are!

I cased these cards from my friend Georgia. 

Here's some tips for the bear's face:

All supplies used can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog with the exception of the Modern Label punch and matching Window Die.  Colors are Ballet Blue and Pumpkin Pie.

Enjoy~Dawn O
