 The hop will be open until May 22nd. Look for an awesome birthday sale to celebrate the 11th Anniversary at Printable Cuttable Creatables!

Now to share my project:

 

We are quickly approaching the busiest time of year for weddings. I thought I would share a nice thank you card that a bride could give to her bridesmaids. It is also suitable for a bridal shower or bacheloratte card.  I just adore this dress. Doesn’t it remind you of the one Baby wore in Dirty Dancing?? It’s so pretty. (PS I'm watching that movie right now!)

Supplies: More details of products at the end

Bridal Party Bridesmaid Dress SVG Cut File
Scalloped Hearts Frames Set FREE SVG Files
Cardstock in various colors
Adhesive
Electronic Cutting Machine and software (I am using Silhouette Studio with a Cameo)
Embellishments  

1.       Download the files listed.

2.       Open the Frames file in the design software. Choose the rectangle and move the others aside or delete.

3.       Resize the rectangle to be as close to 4.25 x 5.5” as possible by keeping the proportions the same – use the corners  -- do not stretch the sides as it will distort the hearts.

4.       Draw a rectangle to match the interior rectangle of the heart frame. Make it slightly bigger. We will glue the heart frame to this so we need to make it bigger for that. I want the scalloped part to hang off so the heart can be seen through.

5.       Move the frame to the side. Duplicate the rectangle and position above it. This is creating the card base. Make sure these are touching.

6.       Select both rectangles and right-click and choose Weld. If they don’t become one large rectangle, move them slightly closer and try again until they become one shape. This is the card base.

7.       Open the SVG file with the dress. Choose the dress you prefer. I like the one with the hanger.

8.       Size the dress to fit fully inside of the heart frame.

9.       Ungroup the dress design and separate the layers.

10.   Cut the dress parts, frame and card base in desired colors of cardstock. Also cut a rectangle the same as the inside of the frame for a background for the dress. Note: I chose the gold glitter paper and it is much flimsier than cardstock. Therefore, I cut 2 frames and glued them together. The other frame is of dark blue cardstock of which I used the center for the background behind the dress.

11.   Fold the card base in half. Adhere the frame to the front of the base. Adhere the background panel inside the frame.

12.   Assemble the dress and hanger and adhere to card.

13.   Add embellishments such as pearl, sequins or gems.

14.   Add a personal message to the inside of the card.

CRAFT Challenge Blog #780

Hi there friends!



Good Morning All and a Very Happy 17h Birthday to us all here at CRAFT Challenge!!



This year we are 17 years old and still going strong. Only one team member has been present from the start, Jo. She seen a lot of team members come and go over these 17 years, but all have been fabulous and very talented. Even though Jo’s time is limited these days, she still loves being part of this team.

We all feel honoured to be working with such talented and lovely people.



We have a DT call at the moment, so if you feel you would like to join our fabulous team, then simply get in touch with us and let us know.



And now it’s time for our birthday celebrations.

Our challenge for the next two weeks is



Birthday!



(what else could it be?)



Anything that fits in with this subject, qualifies for entering this challenge.



There is a maximum of 1 entry per person for this challenge and as always it needs to be recent (new) work (so created and posted after this challenge has started). Although we love to see your work, it would put those contestants that put more than 1 entry in at an unfair advantage. The same limitation exists for the prizes to be won on the blogs of our DT members.



Please also turn word verification off as this makes leaving a comment on your lovely creations much easier. We will not leave a comment if you have word verification switched on.
