Mini Stuffed Bear

I was beyond thrilled this spring when I got an email from Stampin' Up! Board of Directors member Lynne Ward asking about a project I had posted on my blog. A board member reading my blog!? Wow! I then met Lynne on the cruise to Alaska. And even though I didn't attend Convention this year, Lynne brought this little gift for me! She connected with my Mom and sent it home with her. My eyes bugged out of my head when I saw this! Isn't it the cutest thing ever!?!? Thank you so much, Lynne! My girls have tried to steal it many times, but I've made it clear that this is Mommy's bear!!

Everything is Stampin' Up! of course -- the Flirtatious Designer Fabric, Pretty in Pink Scalloped Ribbon, Regal Rose 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, and Neutral Buttons. And Lynne has provided instructions to make this bear on Shelli Gardner's blog. Click here for the details. Click here to see another version of this bear that Lynne gifted to Shelli last winter.

Holiday Mini Sneak Peek: Gently Falling Box Wrap

Here's another Box Wrap project. I designed this one for a demonstrator group meeting with about 60 attendees. I didn't have enough Designer Paper to go around, so instead, we stamped the 3" x 12" cardstock to go around the Box #2 die. After you stamp, score the cardstock at 5-1/4" and 6-5/8" to fit just right around the box.

This stamp set, Gently Falling, will be released in the Holiday Mini Catalog on September 1st. Come back then for a link to the Holiday Mini Catalog. I'm also planning big things for September 1st with gifts from the Holiday Mini for ordering and 700K Blog Candy. Be sure to come back on the 1st for all the details!!
