Happy 4th!!

Hi there.  Hope everyone is having a good 4th of July!  I've just been relaxing today - had lunch with a friend and did a teeny bit of shopping.  Other than that, a pretty low key day.
This morning I started working on my July Stamp Camp projects.  While flipping through a stack of "inspiration" cards, I came across a couple of cards that were misfiled (how'd that happen?) and never got posted to the blog.  These girly-girl cards were made with the weekly Wed stamp group (aka, the Wednesday girls).  Monica Gale's princess card is just too cute!  Thank you Monica for the inspiration.  You can view her card by clicking here.

Here is the first card:

Blushing Bride version
Punch out the bodice using the Tab punch.  Use the 3/4" circle punch to scoop out the neckline.  I punched out vellum with the Scallop oval punch (if you use some card stock scraps under the vellum, the punch will work better.  If I had SU! vellum that wouldn't be necessary!).  I then ran the ovals through my Big Shot using the Vintage Wall embossing folder.  Glue 3-4 ovals to bottom portion of tab bodice (don't worry the tab won't show after you adhere all the vellum layers).  Glue 2-3 more on top.  Add a bow at the waist and pearls at the neckline to finish off your frilly dress.  This would make a cute bridal shower card or a girls birthday card - especially if she does ballet.  Can you say tutu! lol

Crumb Cake card base  = 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"
White layer = 4" x 5-1/4"
Blushing Bride DSP = 3-3/4" x 5"
White layer = 3-1/4" x 4-1/4"
Crumb Cake layer = 3" x 4"

Stampin' Up! supplies used unless otherwise noted.
Paper: Crumb Cake, White, In Color DSP, Vellum (non-SU!)
Tools: Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Tab punch, Scallop oval punch, 3/4" circle punch
Other: Pearls, 1/4" pink ribbon (non-SU!)

Here is the same card - different color:

Bashful Blue version

The patterned paper for this version is retired Bashful Blue DSP - sorry!  The ribbon is non-SU!  Everything else is the same as the pink card.  If you decide to make Monica's card, I'd love to see your version.
OK, gonna scoot on out of here for today.  Enjoy what's left of the holiday and be safe with those fireworks!  Thanks for stopping by.
