CottageCutz Special Occasion Dress

Hi everyone!  Today's card features the CottageCutz Special Occasion Dress from the Wedding Release.  This dress can be made several ways for a variety of occasions.  I used patterned paper for the dress and inked the edges with Memento dandelion ink.  As I was seeing which papers I wanted to use for my card, I thought it would be cute to make a small notecard for the front of the card, using the dress as the opening.  Alone, the notecard would make a cute gift enclosure.  Added to the front of a standard card gives you a fun fold.  This dress could be used for prom layouts, weddings, Sweet 16 birthdays.


It happens to be my youngest son's birthday today.  He turns 16, but I don't think he would appreciate a Sweet 16 birthday card. lol  Enjoy your day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz ~ Pretty Birthday Wishes

Good morning!  How's it going today?  I hope you're having a wonderful week, and are ready for an even more wonderful weekend.  Lorie here today to share my first project with the new Wedding Release CottageCutz dies from The Scrapping Cottage.  WOW, are there ever some fun designs, and Cottage Cutz fans have been asking for these designs for quite some time!  You're just gonna LOVE them!!

For my card today, I decided to take the dress from the wedding collection and make it into a birthday card.  Is there a lady you know who wouldn't love to receive a card made with this?  I used some lacy paper from my stash to cut the layers for the dress and I sponged the edges with a bit of Stampin' Up!  Basic Gray ink, just to give them a little more depth.  Each layer is popped up with foam dots for even more depth, and this gorgeous dress was screaming for some bling, so I was happy to oblige.  Some individual rhinestones, a rhinestone strip, and rhinestone flourishes were just the ticket to finish this beauty off.

Here's the die I used for this card:


Thanks so much for visiting The Scrapping Cottage Blog today!  I hope you have a very blessed and beautiful day, filled with all things crafty!
