Another Dress Card

This one is for my friend, Lorrie!
I had to wait to show it until she received it but it seemed to have arrived with perfect timing.

Island Oasis Designer Paper
Sizzix Scallop Circle Die for the dress
Scallop Oval and Round Tab Punches for the purse
Itty Bitty Shape Punches for the little flowers on the bottom of the skirt
Paper Piercer, Ribbon, Brads and Ribbon for embellishments
Fun to make!

"Barbie and Ken"

Just kiddin'!! But I made the one card for Father's Day and then made the other card with the little dress.  Actually it is a skirt and top!
The Paper is our Stampin' Up! Island Oasis Designer Series Paper. The purse is made from the Round Tab punch and the Scallop Oval punch! Brad and ribbons are added. The skirt and top are made from our Scallop Circle Sizzix die.  Add some ink from the Stampin' Spots to the edges to matchy match with the cardstock and you have it!! OH and I love the Paper Piercer- soooo much fun!  I could make little holes all day long!!  I have the pattern for the shirts linked in a few posts down on the May 17th post!



Here is the inside, I ended up making this dress card too as a Father's Day card from me. I know it seems silly to give a man a dress card, but here is the inside using the Things I Love Stamp set!


Hope you enjoyed my silly little cards!!
Scroll on down for some more fun things made with this silly little card!

Oh  I need to show you this! My blogger friend and customer, Eiyiyi, at Dropped Stitches, made this darling card with her Island Oasis Card kit that she got from me! Isn't it darling!

My Little Girl made this!! You can too!







Late last night I was asking my little girl to help me come up with an idea using the Island Oasis Designer Paper for my next workshop. I had already pre-assembled a little box (see Splitcoast Stampers for Gable Box) in So Saffron. I told her she could decorate it anyway she wanted but to use the Island Oasis paper and the Tropical Party Stamp Set.
She asked if she could switch the box to Tempting Turquoise. I said sure. She quickly assembled one and came up with this gorgeous box!
I love all of her details!! Notice how she stamped the box with the little flower stamp! Too cute!



Materials Used:
All Stampin" Up!
Island Oasis Designer Series Paper
Tropical Party Stamp Set
Tempting Turquoise Cardstock
So Saffron Cardstock
Rose Red Cardstock
Certainly Celery Cardstock ( the palm is stamped on that)
Whisper White Cardstock
Tempting Turquoise Ink ~ L00k closely at the stamped box!
Rose Red Ink~ she stamped flower with the same color inks
Earth Elements Brads and Buttons
Twine
Island Floral Bigz Dies
Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip and Old Olive Markers - she inked the Coconut stamp with the markers!


The directions show the hole punched out with the Oval Punch but she chose to use the Curly Label Punch.
.
I think it came out darling!!

All I did was add the Tiny Tag Stamp and used the Medium Jewelry Tag Punch to make a little tag.
She did the rest!!!

I can't wait to have my workshop now!!
By the way, she is only 12!


All of these materials can be ordered from My Site HERE

My Island Oasis Card Kit! Hawaiian Shirt Card!! Father's Day is soon!

Yippeee! I finally figured out how to make these little Hawaiian Shirt Cards- just in time for Father's Day and don't they look great with our Stampin' Up Island Oasis Designer Paper!!
I googled and found the instructions  HERE.
Here is another site I found HERE
and here is another site HERE
 I used our Craft Cardstock for the base. Then I used the darling Island Oasis Paper and also
Confetti White Cardstock- Love it- it is more of a natural color and has speckles in it.
 My choice of Ink is Soft Suede and the stamp set is Eight Great Sayings.
All supplies can be ordered HERE on my Stampin' Up Website or if you wish to order my Island Oasis  Card Kit, please see the post on May 16th for the list of supplies and how to order!!
I only have 2 card kits left, so please order soon!

My Island Oasis Card Kit! Flip Flop Card!


I am just loving this paper pack!
It is especially good for scrapping a beach trip!
I used all Stampin' Up Supplies:
Whisper White Cardstock
Island Oasis Designer Paper Pack
Stampin' Up Sizzix Daisy and  Island Floral Dies and our wonderful Top Note die
White Brad to attach the Flower to the Flip Flop. This card was put together by accidnet. I had used the Top Note die cut to use as a window in another card and it was laying around so I put the flip flop on top and I liked the look!
Stay tuned tomorrow for the Margarita Card!
