Get Inked!

I am so excited to share with you the best mini catalog ever!  Really!  Its this year’s Holiday Mini Catalog.

Along with the holiday sets (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas), Stampin’ Up! is introducing three new product lines.

First, there’s Simply Adorned.  These are charms and chains that you use to create unique jewelry and home decor.

Also, My Digital Studio- which I am so stoked about!!!  Digital (and hybrid!) scrapbooking- the Stampin’ Up! way!!!  I’ll share more about that later.

Today, I’m sharing with you the partnership between Build a Bear Workshop and Stampin’ Up!  Genius!

Build A Bear Workshop is very popular in my house.  My daughter, Esther, got her first Build A Bear for her birthday last year.  She loves her Princess Fluffy.  We’ll probably take my son to get his first for his birthday later this month.  (They’ve got some cool boy styles.)

My kids got SO excited when I showed them the BABW section of the Holiday Mini.  They want it all!  We’ve got three stamp sets, eight Sizzix dies and patterned paper.  They are all fabulous for making cards and scrapbook pages.  But with the dies, you can also make super cute and easy paper dolls for the kids, where the can change the clothes and have so much fun!  Your kids, grandkids and friends’ kids will have hours of fun playing with these.

On Monday, I went to a demonstrator swap where we made cards with a lot of the Holiday Mini products.  I’ll share the rest of the projects later this week.  Today I’m sharing the bears. :)  Both cards are made with the new set Beary Best Friends.

This is the project I designed:

I stamped and watercolored our cute girly bear using Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  Then I punched out the flower and balloon from our new Cottage Wall DSP.  (The punches are the Trio Flower & the 3/4″ Circle punches.)  I popped those up with Dimensionals. I made the grass using the Scallop Edge punch, like I did with my Upsy Daisy silhouttes card.  I popped that up with Dimensionals, too.  The background was made with my Big Shot and Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz plates.

This one was designed by fellow demonstrator Aimee Wayment. 

 I love how she used Crystal Effects to shine the shoes!  Also notice how the skirt is “paper-pierced” using Razzleberry Lemonade DSP.

The sentiment up on the side is from Beary Nice Wishes.  They are cute sayings in the BABW font.
