Good morning! Alicia blogging today with a feminine card using the Frantic Stamper Pleated Dress die. Since I have four nieces I am sure this die will come in handy. I envision sweet little dresses and formal prom dress for cards and perhaps party invites. For today, I went with a sweet little floral dress but I can see the possibilities are endless!
As always
with a new die, I cut it out in plain white paper and played around a
bit. I found I liked when I used two cuts of "pleats" for the bottom
of the dress. First I used an accordion fold on the "pleats" with the help of a bone folder to really make them crease. To adhere my two pieces of "pleats" I simply used a strip of tape runner along the inside edge of the top piece. When adhering my bottom to the card I used plenty of tape to keep the pleats in place.
There are three choices for "tops". I like this one for
this dress, it was a little less formal. Finally, I tied a bow from some ribbon and adhered to the waist with glue dots. I finished off the card with some sequins, another die cut layer and matching papers.
Don't forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card. Takes me back to when I played with paper dress dolls. Am I showing my age? Love your choice of patterned paper!

It reminds me of paper dolls, too! Only I can determine the material for the dresses so a little paper doll and a little dress designer! I love it!
