Some of the easiest to use and create from projects are at Whimsy!  Yes, you heard me right!  Now you can buy this beautiful dress shaped digi file to use over and over again.  The project I'm sharing with you today is available at the Whimsy Stamps Store from the new Shape EZ digital line.

Let's make this lovely dress shaped card together in 15 to 20 minutes!

This project from start to finish takes about 15 minutes when the embellishments are ready to go and is such an elegant way to show someone you care.  This card is made with the "dress and swirl flower" files, along with the double border die and the baby die cutters from the shapeology line available from the Whimsy store.  This is one stop you won't want to miss!  Join me as I give you step by step instructions and walk you through this entire project!

You don't have to have a cutter, just choose to print from the PNG file you will receive with every download and hand cut the same project you see here.  All files are minimum 300 dpi and sent in JPEG,PNG,PDF and SVG and you will receive them zipped.  Quick and easy.

choose the size to cut your project with the SVG format and cut out the base (instructions included)

Choose your favorite DP and cut out the insert (included in the  zip file)  that will fit perfectly inside the base on PDF file

All the forms are ready to be assembeled

I chose to cut three different sizes of the swirl flower from the digital zip file on two different DP (flower is sold separately or can be combined with other purchase for a lower price)

prepare your favorite embellies

I chose to distress the DP insert page with Ranger Ink to create more contrast from the base 

I combined a paper border from the Whimsy double scalloped border die cut with an elegant lace from my stash and wrapped around the insert dress shape

This dress has lovely incoves perfect for lace borders, I added ribbon from stash to finish off the dresses ruffle look

I rolled the swirl flower, distressed the edges (flowers aren't white at the edges hehe) then added a pearl to each

I rolled each leaf shape inward to create depth in the leaves

Distressed the rattle and added the Sentiment from the Raindrop Echo Design w/Whimsy "Pennant" collection and added the liquid pearls

goodness, gracious, it's the 15 minute marker and the project is complete

The charm is added to the cutoff rattle die cut and don't forget, I added some of the elegant ruffle lace to the designated (not just round) shaped sleeve area and the card is complete!
