Build-A-Bear Single Ladies

Stampin up build a bear girl

SDC13117-2 Whether you prefer Beyonce's or Justin Timberlake's Saturday Night Live version of "Single Ladies," these charming Build-A-Bear "single ladies" are strutting their stuff today.  Since the Grammy Awards aired, this song relentlessly runs through my head . . . "oh, oh, oh," here we go again . . . "All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies . . . "

Whenever I use the Stampin' Up! Build-A-Bear dies, I feel like a kiddo assembling paper dolls.  It's great fun to mix and match designer paper, clothing and accessories.  Each card today makes a "fashion statement" and is personalized for my grandnieces, Melina and Eleni.  Let's start with Melina's card today.  I'll share Eleni's details tomorrow.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up build a bear welcome neighbor designer paper A light bulb moment for me!  I realized I could snip out the house from Welcome Neighbor Designer Series (a Sale-A-Bration free gift) and "open" the door.  It's the perfect scale next to my bear for a play house.
  • Layering over the Top Note Die (in Bermuda Bay Textured Card Stock), gives a zippy contrast.
  • Small designer series prints work beautifully to mirror fabric.  To dress my bear, I used a wee heart pattern from Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper (shirt) and a polka dot from Bermuda Bay Designer Series (skirt).
  • Need a quick hat?  I adhered Large and Small Ovals of Pumpkin Pie card stock with a couple Stampin' Dimensionals.  A flower (Boho Blossoms Punch) and bling (Circle Rhinestone Brad), complete the look.
  • Get a big, bold monogram with Stampin' Up!'s Exclusive Alphabet Simple Bigz Dies.  I cut my "m" twice.  First in Welcome Neighbor paper and second in On Board Chipboard.  Precise fit and 3-D vavoom!

  1. These are just too adorable! I have not gotten any BAB stuff yet, but I think you just pushed me over the edge!

    My niece (she just turned 2) is a huge fan of Single Ladies. You should see her dance…she knows all the moves! 🙂

    Hugs!

  2. I did not think it was possible, but I think I love you a little bit more today after this “single ladies” card! What a cute idea, and I LOVE all the details! You are one detail-oriented mama! I honestly never ever thought that I would ever purchase any Build-a-Bear items, but now you make me want to buy some dies… your creations are adorable! I know you didn’t go into the details of Eleni’s card today, but I love how you incorporated the Pinking Hearts punch on the bear’s sweater. I could go on and on….. but this is getting quite long for a comment! 🙂

    Hooray for Hazel:

    I read every comment and enjoy every word. Thanks. Mary

  3. Stop it, stop it, stop it! I cannot fall in love with the BABs! I do not have any friends or relatives who would like a card with these cuties and I’d be taking up time playing with the bears instead of creating “serious cards”. Wait, is that a bad thing?

    (Love those single ladies!)

    Hi Chellie: Honestly, I bought them for ME and am proud of it, Babe. There are lots of ways to share them . . . they aren’t just for little girls (or boys, if you use the rest of the die cuts). Perfect for birthday or a get well (maybe with them holding flowers) for just about any age. Have I convinced you yet?

    Hugs, M
