Download Tuesday!

It's all about family today on MDS!  Check out these adorable downloads.  I've been creating and having lots of fun with MDS the past few weeks.  I've created wedding announcements, birthday invitations, activity invitations, and a template for a t-shirt.  Pictures will be coming soon :)  Have a great day!

Wacky Wishes

Wacky Wishes has been my FAVORITE hostess stamp set this year.  I've used it on so many cards this catalog year!

For this card, I used one of the greetings stamped twice...once in Raspberry Ripple and then stamped again in Whisper White.  This is such a fun technique to try.  It gives the stamp some dimension!  Order your supplies here.

Cardstock:  Pool Party, Raspberry Ripple

Ink:  Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White

Stamps:  Wacky Wishes

Accessories:  Lace Tape, Corner Rounder

More Dresses

Here's the rest of the dresses.  This dress is simple with just a quick stamp on the side.  I thought the ribbon would be a cute scarf!

The impressions folder made this PERFECT for a wedding dress :)

The Impressions folders can also make a cute belt.

I made the collar on this dress with a circle punch and a scallop circle punch.

The bottom of this dress is a doily simply wrapped around the dress.
