I remember how much I loved paper dolls as a little girl. I would cut out each outfit, carefully navigating the dress details and little tabs with my safety scissors. I couldn’t wait to start trying each outfit on my paper doll. The Stampin’ Up! Dress Up! Framelits give me that familiar thrill but the cropping process is so quick and simple–promising perfect results every time.
I began today’s card using this week’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch
Challenge (PPA153). See what the rest of the PPA Resident Artists have created
with the sketch and PLAY ALONG!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- It was hard to choose! Almost every pattern in the Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack looked amazing for the dress. I used a “post-it” to keep the framelit in place before running it through the Big Shot. The pattern was centered down the middle of the dress.
- I dusted off my Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which hadn’t seen much action in awhile. It adds just a touch of floral texture, without competing with the pattern of the dress.
- DIMENSIONS! My card base is 5 1/4″ square. The script designer series paper layer: 1 1/2 x 5″, polka dot: 1 3/4 x 5″ (tucked slightly under the Summer Starfruit layer), Summer Starfruit: 3 3/8 x 5″ and the sentiment: 2 7/8 x 7/8″.
- MUST HAVE! Stampin’ Up! stick on pearls add a luxurious polish to both the dress and sentiment. So easy to use.
