Is she stylin' or what? This is another card I made at Fall Fest and glamored her up a bit more when I came home. Can you see what I added? Click to enlarge to have a better look. Do you see her faux pearls on her shirt, cuffs, shoes, and purse? (you can see how below). TIP: A little 'wow' accent can do wonders to a simple card! 
So many demonstrators showed off their amazing talent at Fall Fest and here at the Build a Bear station, where we kreated our own beary cute bears, were some fun displays to look at. Kristin Kortonik designed our card and created this fun board with all these cute outfits. And one of her downline (I believe) made this adorable little corkboard, matching pencil holder and a cute card to gift it with. So cute for a childs room!! Oh, the possibilities :) 
Now back to my fashionista... The design of the card was done by Kristin, our Build a Bear table demonstrator, and we were able to dress up our bears however we'd like. Since I have 2 little girls it was easiest to pick out a 'girly' outfit from the Pawsitively Prints Paper (all Build a Bear Big Shot dies and accessories can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog). I dressed her up and popped her up on dimensionals. But she was missing a few accessories.
I now own the Beary Girl Sizzlits dies :) so I wanted to doll her up a bit more when I got home. I gave her a matching bow and purse. She needed a little bit more, so I added some faux pearls to her shirt collar and sleeves, as well as her cuffs, shoes and closure on her purse.
How you ask? I dipped the end of a thin paint brush (you could use your stylus or even a toothpick) into the new Frost White Shimmer paint and dabbed it onto her beary cute outfit and accessories - now even cuter I might add!
Who else wants her shoes? :)
Any questions, I'm a click away!

Beary Simple
These were the last two cards kreated at my Holiday Mini class bash. Simple, but I think so cute :) And the girls in my class adored making them.
* A zip through the Big Shot with the new Bear Die kreated my Kraft and Choc Chip teddys. An additional zip through the Big Shot with scraps of Very Vanilla and Close to Cocoa kreate my 'muzzle' around the nose and mouth and Real Red for a 'real' heart.
* To kreate the eyes, nose and mouth, I punched out a 1" circle to coordinate with my teddys fur (one is Choc Chip for Kraft teddy, the other is Basic Black for Choc Chip teddy) and adhered it to the back of the bear.
* Bashful Blue and the 'argyle' Texturz Background I plate take a spin through the Big Shot, as does Regal Rose and the large polka dots Texturz Background I plate.
* Then each were run through the Big Shot with the Top Note Die. Perfect little backgrounds to pop up (adhere with dimensionals for a 3D effect) my teddy bear.
* Sentiments from the new Beary Nice Wishes were inked across the bottom of the So Saffron and Dusty Durango standard card bases.
* A cupcake from Crazy for Cupcakes was snipped out and placed onto my teddys paw to wish a very Happy Bearthday to someone special.
* A single flower punched from Boho Blossoms, stem from the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlit, in teddys paw offers a bit of cheer to wish someone well, beary soon!
Wait until you see this bear all dolled up, yep, die cut clothes and accessories available too. Check them out in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
Any questions, I'm only a click away. Have a beary great day!
