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.

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?!

Max&SamEating

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

FrameMax

FrameSam

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

BAB 

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!

Boy&GirlBears

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.
