Playing with Dressups


Hi Everyone,

Did you ever play with Paper Dolls as a child?  I did and so did my girls.  Stampin Up have released some fun dies that you can create outfits with for just that look of our old Paper Doll Dressups.  I've had some fun trying them out and had to create this Dressing Room effect on this card here.


I've used cardstock of Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry and Basic Gray with some spotty paper out of the SAB pack and some silver paper for the mirror.



This is the card laid out flat.



Here is a closer look of the Mannequin in front of the mirror.  I've used the Apothecary Accent Framelits to create the Mirror Frame and the Oval framelits for the Mirror and of course the Dress Up Framelits to create the dress on the Mannequin.  I've also used Fancy Fan and Lacy Brocade Embossing Folders.


Here is the card folded closed to fit into a standard sized envelope for posting.  I've also used the Woodgrain Background stamp on the front Very Vanilla panels here.  Do they look a bit like doors?  I hope so, because that was my intent, to open up the doors to the inside Dressing Room.  Some people may refer to this style of card as a Double Z Fold.

And here are the doors open with the card standing up once again.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you've enjoyed the visit.  Please come again soon and don't forget to leave a comment. I really appreciate them.  Thanks.

    I did! I also had a barbie book that had changeable clothes and this reminds me of it! Gorgeous card Carolyn and I love the fold - the mirror is a fabulous idea too!

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
