Yesterday I played around with Build-A-Bear…..and I mean "played"!  It was so much fun, just like being a little girl and playing with paper dolls!  You can just cut out the bears with the Big Shot (Stampin' Up! Bear Bigz Die #117977) and then make any kinds of outfits and embellishments you want, either from the additional dies (see Occasions Mini pages 38-40) or using your own creativity!  Here are my two bears, and in a few days I will post the finished projects!

This bear uses some rhinestones from the Eggscellent Eggs Kit in the Occasions Mini (but no longer available), a half pearl from the Pretties Kit (#109114), some Soft Subtles Brads (#106954), the cake from Bitty Birthday (#114934), and her chic hat is made from two oval punches, an idea I got from another demo, Mary Fish.

This bear has a total rhinestone necklace and matching bracelet!  The cupcake is from the stamp set "Sock Monkey" (#111550).

REMEMBER…..the Occasions Mini is only good one more day!  The last day to order is April 30!  A few items will carry over!  Ask me!
