Stampin' Up Exclusive Dress Form Pop 'n Cuts Die with Dress Up Framelits Die

I made my first Pop 'n Cuts card and I love it!  It is so much fun to dress up the Dress Form with your own design. It is twice as much effort as the usual card because you need to design the card front as well as the interior dress form pop up.

Here is the front of the card which features the dress form from the Dress Up Framelits.  I cut the dress form frame from Basic Gray card stock and the printed dress form from Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  I embellished it with a flower from the Flower Trim ribbon and some Basic pearls.

The strip of DSP is also from Tea for Two.  The background layer is Calypso Coral embossed with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Folder.  The greeting frame from the Four Frames stamp set was stamped with Lucky Limeade and the greeting is from Petite Pairs stamp set.  The ribbon is Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon  which will retire on May 31, 2013. I will be so sad to see the ruffled ribbon go, but they always come up with new favorites.

This is the fun part of the part - the dress form pop up.  The pop up was cut from Sahara Sand card stock.  I added striped paper for "wall paper" and dotted paper for a "rug' - both from the Neutrals Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stack.   I cut a dress top and skirt from Tea for Two Designer Series Paper with the Dress Up Framelits.  The belt was made with natural ribbon, cut in half lengthwise.  I punched a flower from the same DSP collection and embellished it with a Basic Pearl.   The greeting from Blooming with Kindness was stamped and then punched with the Large Oval Punch.  I layered on Early Expresso cardstock that was die cut with an Apothecary Accents Framelit.  I used lots of Stampin' Dimensionals in all the layers.

My sketch included a wall mirror made with Silver Glimmer Paper and the Oval Framelits, and Edgelit borders at the top and bottom, but I ran out of time...  And that would be another story!!

Here is a close up of the dress:

I made these for a swap, and have pieces to make 4 more cards.  My plan is to finish them tonight...  We'll see!

Stamp, stamp, stamp!!

A fun afternoon with Stampin' Up Dress Up Framelits

I had a Stampin' Up event yesterday afternoon and chose the Dress Up Framelits with Sale-A-Bration Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper and Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button pack for one of the projects.  Everyone had a great time choosing papers and embellishments for their cards and dresses.

This is the card sample I made for the class which was inspired by the Jacket Dress on Patty Bennett's blog (Patty's Stamping Spot), followed by all the creative variations which are even better than mine!

These were made by Sandy Wilt and Angelina Paese

Made by Stacy Miller and Kristy Kelly

Made by Stacey Epler and Brenda Kiehl

Stampin' Up Supplies:
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack, Basic Pearls, Flower Trim.

A Many Layered Birthday Card - Stampin' Up! Layered Labels and Daydream Medallions

This is my swap card for the Monthly Stampin' Divas Swap.  WE are supposed to do WOW swaps and I sure do hope this qualifies!

There are Stampin' Dimensionals between every layer of the focal pieces, so I used almost the entire package of 300 Dimensionals to make 12 cards...  Yes, I do go through a LOT of Dimensionals.  When I go to the Craft & Hobby Association in Chicago I always check out the card samples, and I notice that many of the really professional looking cards use lots of them.

Apothecary Accents Framelits, Papillon Potpourri & Four Frames Stamp Sets

If you are looking for the Late Night Stampers Fall Treasure Hunt go here or scroll down September 4, 2012 to find it.






And now for a card I made for a "new catalog" swap I participated in June that I never posted.  This features some new products - Pappillon Potpourri Stamp Set and matching Butterfly Punch, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Large Scallop Edgelit, and Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper.

Supply list is at the end.  I came up with my own card fold and closure, but the layout was inspired by a card  I saw on Paper Crafts Connection.  I folded the card and cut the widest edge with the Large Scallop Edgelit.  I cut Whisper White Card Stock with an Apothecary Accents Framelit focal piece and stamped it with the Netting stamp and Daffodil Delight ink.  I sponged a lot of  Daffodil ink on the edges and lightly in the center to give it dimension.  The butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set was stamped it with Rich Razzleberry and then punched with the Butterfly Punch.  I colored the pearls with Bic Mark-It permanent markers because the Stampin' Write Markers don't work for this.  I chose the Mark-Its because that set has so many that are close to Stampin' Up! colors. The Four Frames image was stamped with Rich Razzleberry and punched with the Decorative Label Punch.  The sentiment is from the Perfect Punches stamp set, and was punched with the Large Oval Punch.  The Rich Razzleberry scalloped layer was punched with the Scallop Oval punch, then cut in half the long way and spread apart to form a frame.  Only the right side of this piece is attached to the card.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals so that it is raised above the card, allowing the scallop edge of the card to slide under it to close the card.

Thanks for looking,
