Dressed to Impress

You should check out this 'Dressed to Impress' stamp set on page 56 in the Mini Catalog!! It is so cute & fun!!  

Here is a fun girl card!!  It is black & white with a splash of color added to it!

This is one of the cards that everyone made at my stamp class yesterday with me.  If you look closely you can see that I used the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing folder. 

I used the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper to make the fun curtain fold.  This DSP is one of the Sale-a-bration choices that you can get for FREE with a $50 order. 

You can CLICK HERE to see another curtain fold I made, along with the tutorial on how to make it!

How did I do it?  Here are the measurements.

• 6x3"- dsp
• score at- 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4"
• cut at a diagonal from the first score line (2 3/4"), leaving approximately 1"along the top edge.
• then fold on the scored lines to make your pleat! 
• use a glue dot to hold the pleats down
• add tear & tape along the entire back edge
• adhere to the card front

I added some Wink of Stella over my shoes to make them sparkle!  

Did you notice the polka dots on the ribbon?  I just used the polka dot stamp & my Memento ink & stamped directly onto the ribbon!!  This ribbon is awesome!  You can also color it with a sponge dauber & ink pad or you can color it with a Stampin' Blend.
