A Closet Full of Dress Up

Last week I shared a card done with the Dress Up dies that my friend Ruthann let me use.  You can see that card here.  

Today I'm sharing an ensemble.  It's not my CAS style at all.  But it was fun and showcases all the elements that we used in making the cards in our Papercrafting class.

The hat is made with the 1 3/4" Circle, 1" Circle and 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punches. We can thank Rena for the idea of adding the scallop circle in the color of the dress. What a difference it made! The white circles were embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing folder to look like a straw hat.

While we were at it, I thought a purse would be nice.  It was made with the Decorative Label punch and also embossed with the Square Lattice EF.  I also used this punch for a piece of red to make it show up better.

I used some old clips for a handle on the purse as well as a hanger for the hat. 

Simon Says Stamp challenge is     PIN IT 

We want to see you use pins, paper clips, clothes pins, brads etc. on your projects for this week!  

Pixie's Crafty Playground is one of my favorite challenges.  Not only do I use some of those snippets, but we have such a good time there.

Ways to Use It at SCS is to use any metal embellishment on a card. I may have gone overboard with the metal on this.  I don't think I'll be mailing this one!

While I'm at it, let me show off the cards our little group put together last week.

Clockwise: Jan, Pat, Linda and Rena's creations. I had lots of dresses and stands cut out and card bases of all different colors. The snippet box got a work out!

Linda made another.  Very elegant!

Dressed Up for Dynamic Duos

Here's a fun card that I made over the weekend.  My friend Ruthann let me borrow her Dress up Framelits and have I had so much fun with them!

We saw the "straw" hat on SCS  and I just had to add it.  Thanks Nancy for the directions.  It's so easy and a wonderful embellishment!

Dynamic Duos is doing bright yellow and green this week.  What fun, summery colors!

I hope that it's OK that I used Daffodil Delight for my bright yellow.  Sometimes my memory doesn't work well from downstairs to upstairs.  At least I remembered that it was yellow and green!
