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.

Build A Bear Workshop!

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by!  I know my posts haven't been consistent this week so I apologize.  It's been way crazy around here!

Today's card is one we are doing at a friend's house this weekend for her daughter's Girl Scout troop.  We are decorating some hanging frames and making a couple Build A Bear cards.  Because it is such a large group we are going to use standard color pencils to color our bears in.

• INK: Jet Black Stazon
• PAPER: Yo Yo Yellow, Green Galore, Whisper White

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by!  Have you checked out the new Holiday Mini Catalog yet? If not you simply must see it for yourself! :)

Today's card uses the brand new stamp set called Beary Best Friends.  You've seen a sneak peek using the boy bear in this set and thought I should use the same elements to make a girl bear card.  Cute, isn't it?

STEPS:

---

1. Whisper White cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded in half, add a panel of Brilliant Blue cut at 4 x 5 1/4.
2. Stamp the bear image from the Beary Best Friends stamp set in Jet Black Stazon ink, as well as the gifts and balloon on Whisper White card stock cut at 3 x 3 1/2.  Stamp another gift and balloon on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock and color all the images in using Stampin' Write Markers.  Cut out gift and balloon on scrap piece and adhere with dimensionals on main panel.
3. Staple a piece of Red Striped ribbon in the upper right hand corner and adhere to card.
4. Stamp the sentiment from the coordinating Beary Nice Wishes stamp set in Jet Black Stazon on a pieceof Whisper White cut at 3/4 x 2 and mat on Real Red card stock cut at 1 x 2 1/4.
