Pinafore Dress | All Things Fabulous | Fabulous Florals Dies

Happy Tuesday crafty friends! I am excited to show you the card I created using All Things Fabulous and the coordinating Fabulous Florals dies from Stampin' Up!

My though was to design a card that looked like a dress or apron, with flowers. I had never seen a card done in this style with a cutout at the top.

Watch my video tutorial further down in this post for measurements and more!

I love the colour & pattern in the Hand-Penned DSP and chose my inks. It may look like 7 colours, but it's 4! First generation and second generation stamping offers up different shades of colours!

Aren't these gorgeous colours together!!

One of my fave techniques is to add texture to paper! For my card, I used the Stitched Greenery die - check out the intricate detail!

I love the elegant look inside of my card! If you're like me, you always stamp lots of extra pieces to use for other cards or decorating the inside of your cards!

An awesome top view of my favourite card I've made to date! I'm calling this a Pinafore Dress Design.

Top Ten International Highlights Winners Blog Hop August 2020 / All Things Fabulous

Welcome Crafty Friends to my blog! I do want to say Thank You to everyone who voted for my card. It truly is an honour to make it into the Top Ten, and I couldn't have done it without your support! You can view the card I entered HERE.

Here's my card for this blog hop - a slimline card....my first attempt! To make this card, I started with a Whisper White Thick base. If you've seen our Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue, you've likely seen the Magic in This Night DSP. Psssst....it's not just for Halloween! I've used 2 pieces of the DSP - the harlequin pattern and black & white floral, which I coloured using my Sponge Brayer & Daffodil Delight ink.

I L-O-V-E this sentiment from Ridiculously Awesome and it's a standout heat embossed in White onto Daffodil Delight cardstock! Plus, it fits perfectly in one of the Stitched Nested dies!

The flowers from All Things Fabulous are 2-step, which adds lovely depth to the flowers. The pink flowers were stamped first with Magenta Madness, then Melon Mambo. For the yellow flowers I used 3 stamps - first Daffodil Delight, then So Saffron, and lastly Crushed Curry. All the leaves were stamped using Pear Pizzazz, then all the flowers & leaves were cut using the coordinating dies as was the lacey piece behind the sentiment & flowers.
