Check Out the Die Cut Divas

I'm afraid that in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon tragedy, I completely forgot that the lovely Die-Dut Divas (AKA: Hannah, Arlene, and Paula) spotlighted me on their blog!

I am thrilled they chose me as a subject, and I hope you'll go visit their blog, as I have a feeling their efforts may have been neglected by readers who were engaged in following the media coverage of the marathon bombings.

They interviewed me, and I made some birthday cards for the occasion. Here's one of the cards I made for them using some of the latest Memory Box dies:

I N S T R U C T I O N S

1. Print computer-generated sentiment on cardstock.
2. Make card base and round corners.
3. Die cut dressmaker's form, dress, and bow.
4. Use a Sharpie and Krylon silver leaf pen to color the metal bits of the dressmaker's form and to outline the grooves at the bottom.
5. Adhere pearls to wheels of dressmaker's form. Set aside for inks to dry.
6. Assemble bow, adhere gem and attach to dress.

That dress bow is teensy-weensy, so you can't bend the cardstock like you usually would when making a larger paper bow. Instead, curl the bow shape around a stylus and use a glue dot to hold the two ends together (where they meet in the middle). Once you have both sides of the bow implanted in the glue dot, carefully apply a few drops of Glossy Accents to cement the bond.

The supplies listed below are for all three cards I made for the Die Cut Divas post:
