SWEETIE-PIE DRESS CARD
This is a card that makes me go "Awwwww" and then hope desperately that a little girl's birthday will hurry up and get here so I can churn one of these out!
What can I say? Easy. Quick. Super Adorable.
Go Google crazy and find a template online for a dress. There are heaps out there, I liked the simplicity of this one - easy to cut out!
Fold your card in half and then lay the dress template over the top, with the shoulders along the fold (unless your template specifies otherwise). Cut around it so that it comes out per the picture above.
On the front, lay out plenty of double sided tape.
Select the main colour/pattern you want your dress to be and stick your card to the back of it. Cut around the card. This is quicker and easier than using the template again because then you have to stick it on straight and trim here and there. I'm a fan of cutting corners hehe!
So this is what you should have once you have cut around the card, which is stuck to your main dress layer.
Ink around the edges of the dress - not only does this help hide little imperfections, it just makes the dress "pop" a little more. Keep it fairly subtle though!
Under the arms, going across the dress, run a line of double sided tape that folds over onto the inside of the card. This is to hold the ribbon on.
Stick your ribbon along the tape and fold it over to the inside of the card also. If you're keen, you can cut out another dress to stick to the inside of the card to hide the ribbon, but that's personal taste and I'm far from being a neat person!
Apply some teeny little roses to the centre of the ribbon using a strong glue. Place some stick on pearls as buttons.
Decorate it how you want, really!
And there you have it - one cute little dress card :) There are heaps of templates for all sorts of things on Google - why stop at dresses?
Happy Dress-Making!
