CARD: All Dressed Up Window Card from Gianna

March 8, 2013 by Tami White

I'm going to be honest, when I first saw the All Dressed Up bundle in the back of the newest Spring Catalog, it wasn't high on my list of "must haves". Then my friend Gianna brought this card over one night and *gasp* the bundle instantly made it's way to the top of my list...even the expedited shipping "must have tomorrow" list hahaha! It's funny how one card can change your entire opinion of a stamp set, and yet it happens to me all the time.

This is actually a "window card", Gianna cut out the window in on the front of the card with the Labels Framelits. It's stunning! Check out my video tutorial to see this bundle in action.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Fashionably Late but Worth the Wait

March 7, 2013 by Tami White

Fashionably late...but worth the wait! Perfect for those who haven't been on Facebook in a week and didn't realize we missed your birthday types...*ahem* not saying me...ok, ok, I'll admit to being late with more than a few birthday cards. And this greeting from the All Dressed Up stamp set is perfect. Speaking of perfection, what do you think of this dress? FAB!! So easy using the All Dressed Up framelits dies.
NOTE: Did you know you can save 15% OFF when you purchase the "All Dressed Up Bundle" (Stamp set and Framelits together)?

In today's video, I'm going to show you 2 cool techniques, on top of how to create this fabulous dress. The first is how to make your clear mount stamp sets more versatile. Look closely, you may not have even noticed my stamped words on this card are in a different shape and order than they come on the stamp. My second tip/technique is how to create this fun "quote" layer for your words using the Windows Framelits (still available in the Spring Catalog).
