CASology: Dress..

Hey,

So it's been a while since I have had the time to play along with any challenges and one of my faves is CASology.

So I was delighted when I saw this week's cue card -

I just finished the card for my amazing cleaner Paula - she is fantastic and she has been with us since 2013 and I literally don't know what we would do without her AND Boscat adores her. She got married on Saturday, so I made this card for her and her new husband.

I thought it would work perfectly for the challenge as the stamp (an all time fave by Stamping Bella) is really all about the dress.

I kept it all pretty simple and CAS, I die-cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die and added the great sentiment arrow die by MFT - LOVE these dies (no longer available). I used a scrap of sparkly pink paper, as Paula is a pink girl.

I made exactly the same card in yellows and gold for my work colleague Nicole who is getting married on the 29th Sept.

Love both of these, this stamp always makes such lovely wedding cards. Sadly you cannot see how shimmery the dresses are IRL from my photos.

Dressing up...

Hey,

Happy Sunday.

This week has been a fun week of challenge entries and so what better way to end the week than with another challenge entry :)

I really liked the theme over at Shopping Our Stash this week - It's always a bridesmaid - use a dress or dressform.

I have these amazing Spellbinders dress dies, that I overused and have sadly been neglected for a while, so it was a perfect excuse to bring them out of hiding.

I also have lots of scraps from a Lawn Fawn 'Let's Polka in the Meadow' paper pack that I thought would work well with the dress.

I layered the papers and the dress together and felt it was missing something, so I used a notepaper die from Clearly Besotted on a piece of grid scrap paper that was on my desk, suddenly it all worked together.

I secured everything with staples - big and small ones.

The sentiment is a SSS stamp and a die-cut birthday that was on my noticeboard (it's been there for MONTHS), so another great use of old stash elements..

I added a bit of bling to finish it off and now I am happy :)

A great card to add to my personal birthday card stash..
