Pawsitively Perfect!

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by and being so patient with me and my lack of posts lately!  I am hoping things will slow down now that our school's Harvest Festival is over!
Today's card is the thank you note I gave my hostess, Misty, at her daughter's Girl Scout Build-A-Bear birthday stamp camp.  The girls had a lot of fun making their cards!

STEPS:

---

1. Start with a Whisper White card stock base and add a panel of Good Morning Sunshine DSP (retired).
2. Die cut the bear using the Bigz Bear Sizzix Die in Kraft card stock for the body and Creamy Caramel for the snout.  Add a Basic Black punched with the 1" Circle Punch to the back of the bear's head to cover the eyes, nose and mouth.
3. Die cut the clothes using the Bigz Beary Essentials Die in Whisper White and Glorious Green.  I trimmed the jacket down to look like a Girl Scout vest.  Add a Pretty in Pink Heart punched with the Heart to Heart Punch.  Add bow in Glorious Green die cut from the Sizzlits Beary Girl die.
4. Stamp the sentiment from the Beary Nice Wishes stamp set in Basic Black on whisper white card stock and punch ends with the 3/4" Square punch.  Adhere to card across bear.

A Beary Fun Sleepover Invite!

Hey there stampers! Hope you had a fantastic weekend! 

Today's card is one I totally CASED from Monika Davis, a fellow demonstrator and blogger.  It was so stinkin' cute I couldn't resist plus my daughter is having a sleepover party for her 8th birthday in a couple weeks and it was perfect for her invitations!  You can see Monika's original card HERE.

STEPS:

---

1. Start with a Whisper White card base, add a panel of Certainly Celery run through with a Texture Plate (non-SU) cut at 4 x 5 1/4.
2. Cut out 2 Top Notes using the Sweet Always DSP (retired) and fold one flap down and adhere.  Put aside until bear is cut and dressed.
3. Cut out Build A Bear using the Stampin' Up Bear Bigz Die and Creamy Caramel and So Saffron (snout)card stock. Add Chocolate Chip card stock punched with the 1" Circle Punch to the back for the eyes, nose and mouth.
4. Using Regal Rose and some scrap Sweet Always DSP, die cut shirt, heart and sleeve cuffs using the Stampin' Up Beary Essentials Bigz Die.  Adhere to bear and slide into "sleeping bag" Top Note pieces.  Add to card.
5. Add button (non-SU) using Mini Glue Dot and stamp "You're Invited" in Basic Black using the Birthday Hugs and Wishes stamp set (retired too).
