Bridal Shower Card #3

Hi

Im back again with another card for the bridal shower....if you notice they are all in blues... :)

This card is a basic dress template and I ran it through my NEW cuttlebug! Woo Hoo! I had no idea it was a must have??? I love how it embosses so fabulous! So on the dress I embossed in D'Vine and the background blue is Swiss Dots. I added some flowers of course and I also made my FIRST hanger...I need a bit more practice...There are also elegant pearls on the top. I just used the basic format I already had...since its FAUX again....I was debating weather I should have put all the inside information on an inside of the card....well, its a general design...the point is really to show the embossing and dress template....

Here is a close-up shot of the embossing, flowers, pearls and hanger...

Thanks for stopping by....I appreciate any feedback or changes....Hugs!

Creating a Dress Mannequin

I have seen so many dress mannequins lately. So instead of buying one I thought I could make my own!

1. These are the supplies you will need:
I used my cricut, but if you don’t have one you could use a template, a punch or hand drawn.
You need two hearts 2.5 inches, one needs to be silhouette, two triangles 2.5 inches, and again one must be a silhouette, a rectangle silhouette 1.5 inches, a table 3 inches long.
Scissors, glue, quilling strips, and embellishments of your choice.

2. Glue the 4 silhouetted pieces together and when dry cut out the middle parts as shown.
3. Then place the quilling strips .25 inches apart under the silhouette dress and when dry add the other heart and triangle pieces underneath. Embellish and you have your own homemade dress mannequin!

Here is an example on a layout!
Enjoy!
