Welcome Stampin' Friends!
I woke up early this morning, it's so quiet, what a perfect time to sneek into the stamp room, close the door and CREATE!!! I have been working on making cards with the "card candy" that I got from a group swap I participated in at convention. Card Candy = a small stamped or paper crafted piece(s) that can later be used to create a whole card or other paper craft project.
Today, I pulled out an envelope from the swap that looked like lots of fun! The creator behind these pieces is my friend, Fontella Henderson, who is an amazing stamper!
Look at all the fun piece I had to play with! Here is the card I created with the pieces...
You might notice that I changed the dress. When I noticed the back side of the dress, with the white polka dots, I loved it! It reminded me of my BFF's dress, the one she wore to Award's Night at Convention, I absolutely love and covet this dress, SEE....
Okay, that is not my BFF in the pic, but it is the dress, don't you love it! I need it, but the red is all sold out. I might have to borrow her's one time!
The "you are fabulous" saying comes from the convention exclusive stamp set I earned for attending classes at convention, called "I am...". It's a pretty cute set, and I think I will be using it!
Okay, that is all for now, if you have any questions about my card please leave me a comment.

I did not make the dress, as I got it as part of a card candy swap. But I think I figured it out. Punch out one 2-3/8" scallop circle. Cut in-between the scallops, stopping in the center. Then make a second cut, skipping two scallops, so that you will be cutting out a "heart shape" from the scallop circle. Now the folding, fold one scallop up, lining it up with the one next to it. Next fold two scallops down a heart shape. Fold one scallop up, repeat with two scallops down and one scallop up. Choose the side you want out for the skirt and use and mini glue dot to adhere the previously cut out heart shape to the top of the skirt, creating the top of the dress. Hopefully that made even a little bit of sense and you might now be able to play with it and figure it out. Let me know if you have questions!!!
