Vintage Dress Up

Let's face it, I'm not much of a vintage

 style card maker.  I lean towards

clean and simple.  I do like the vintage look, I

just have a harder time producing the look.

The Dress Up Framelit is very helpful in 

this endeavor.  The cut-outs can be used to

produce any style card or scrapbook page.

I also wanted to experiment with flowers.  The larger

flower was produced with the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch

on page 16 of the Spring Mini.  I punched 3 flowers,

scrunched them up,  peeled the 2 layers apart revealing

the suede-like inner material.  The 6 layers were

piled together, poked and held together with a brad.

I repeated the process for the 2 smaller flowers with

punches from the Boho Punch.

Dress Up Sweater Skirt

Yes, one more dress for you.  I'm officially

addicted to the Dress Up Framelits.
I think that this "outfit" was inspired by my
friend Susan Horr. 

This is a combination of a patterned dress (SAB

Sycamore Street DSP) and embossed "sweater" top.

The buttons were coated with Crystal Effects to make

them look shiny.

Dress Up with Apothecary Art Framelit

Well, the Dress Up Framelit series will continue!

I can't stop creating mini designer dresses.

This project uses the Twitterpated DSP for the dress,

a different pattern for the background layer and 

Riding Hood Red card stock for the jacket.

To make the jacket,  cut 2 pieces/copies
of the dress, in a color that coordinates with the base.
The picture below shows how I positioned the 
Apothecary Art Framelit to produce the 
the jacket front.

  
"Trim" 2 jacket fronts with the Apothecary Art framelit
 positioned as shown (reverse framelit position for the 
right jacket side).  Glue them together
and use the Adorning Accents Border Edgelit
to trim the bottom.  Adhere the jacket to the
dress, accent with Rhinestone buttons and your
dress is complete.

The sentiment is from Ciao Baby, punched out with
the SAB Petite Curly Label Punch.
the Marina Mist card base was embossed with
the Framed Tulips Folder and the card was assembled.

I hope that you enjoy!
