Cupcake Liner Dress and Vintage Dress Using Framelit Dress Die

I'm so excited to share with you two ideas I found on two Demonstrators Blogs. The Cupcake Liner Dresses Cards is from Patty Bennett  www.pattystamps.com  Dated 12-15-13. 

The Vintage Dress idea is from Kimberly Van Diepen

Yesterday morning I visited Patty Bennett's blog like I do everyday and found the cutest Cup Cake Liner Cards ever. I wanted to make some right away. But...the only cupcake liners I had were white and foil. The weather was so bad and the roads very slippery so I didn't go out. I worked with what I had. I really like the way my Framelit Dress came out.

Isn't this the cutest Christmas party dress? I added Basic Rhinestones at the waistline of the dress.
Instead of putting the dress on a card I used an idea from Kimberly VanDiepen of using a wooden skewer and wood spool.

I have some old wooden spools from my grandmother that I have been hoping I could make something with and now I have. I left the original label on the spool. I think it gives it character.

I used the same die with the wooden spool and wooden skewer on my Vintage dress.



 I ran the Dress Up forms through the Big Shot with Crumb Cake card stock. One for the front and one for the back.
I stamped on the dress form first with the a stamp from the Artistic Etching Stamp Set. I adhered the white tulle with a brad to hold the tulle in place while I used my Heat Tool to melt the tulle in layers. I started at the bottom of the dress form and added layers and used my Heat Tool to melt the Tulle. Tip: I used a cloths pin to hold my dress form while heating the tulle.



I put a piece of tulle in the spool and then inserted the wooden skewer.
 Once the dress was completed I added Basic Rhinestones on the dress and applied a piece of Cherry Cobbler Tulle and a rose made with Simply Pressed Clay. You can see the back piece of the dress form. I put hot glue on the back of the skewer and attached it to the other dress form.
I am going to make one of these for each or our six granddaughters. I going to make myself some to set on my stamping desk. Wouldn't these look cute on a dresser?

  1. Jane, your dresses and the spool of thread "holders" are just adorable. The foil cupcake skirt is just too cute. And love how you used the lace and tulle! So much fun. Your grad daughters will love them! Hugs,
