Dress Up Framelits

Love, love, love this framelit!  Oh my gosh, it is like being a little girl and getting to play with paper dolls again.  I have had so much fun playing with this as you will see below.  First up is this cute little wooden purse that I saw at a big box store and just couldn't resist. So after much "fiddling" around with it I decided to use the dies on the front and the cute tags from the Pop Up Posies kit for the tags that I put inside.  The DSP is This and That that will be in the new catalog.

Next up is a CASE from Kimberly Van Diepen, whose style I love.  This frame has three diecuts in it.  I used the retired tulle for their dresses, which I heat set with the heat tool to give the dresses some bounce. 
 Last, but not least is a cute little canvas square frame that I have had and wanted to use.  So used the die cut  and cut a canvas form to cover to look like a dress form.  Die cut several fabric flowers and continued to add until I liked the effect.  So as you can see, I have been busy playing "paper dolls"!
Until next time,  Hugs,  Alicia

Feels Good Stamp Set

Well, I have not actually abandoned my blog, believe me!  It does appear like that but I really have been busy creating and trying to make sure that I am using all my stamp sets before the new Catalog goes live for all.  There is so much cool stuff in it that I knew I had better use what I have before I even attempt to start on the new stuff.  This stamp set is actually not retiring, but I had used it very little and wanted to ink it up a bit more.  The first card is done with the honeycomb embossing folder with the tag and flowers from the Pop Up Posies kit in the spring mini.  Love the sayings in this stamp set and will be using it a lot more.  Hope you like...
The next card is made with the same stamp set, but using the canvas that is in the spring mini.  By the way,if you have tried the canvas, you must.  It frays so well.  The DSP is from the This and That that will be in the new caddie.  It is a really cool DSP!  You will love it:)
This last card share is made with the beautiful gold cardstock that SU sells.  I have not used it in a awhile, so pulled it and looky what I made!  Love the dollies and the little flowers and all the cute embellish on this one.   I have actually already given this to someone.  Anyway, hope you have enjoyed my offerings today.  Until next time,  Hugs,  Alicia
