  • Cover the stamp with Marina Mist Classic Ink and stamp onto a small piece of Marina Mist Card Stock, and

Step 7. Using the Elegant Butterfly Punch, punch out each butterfly and spritz them.

Step 8. Using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and the Big Shot, cut out a small butterfly from Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, and Pacific Point Card Stock. Spritz the butterflies.

Step 9. Place three small Basic Pearls onto the floral butterflies, and one on the small butterflies.

Step 11. Attach the Whisper White Card Stock with the butterflies onto the Bashful Blue Card Stock in the center of the embossed tulips.

Step 12. Attach the above card stock to the card base.

Stampin Up All Dressed Up Bundle – Stamping With Guneaux Designs

Boy, am I having fun with the Stampin Up All Dressed Up Bundle!  I am so enjoying playing with paper dolls ….LOL….like I did as a child.  Seriously, I really enjoyed created my Stampin Up All Dressed Up card.

Let me first welcome you to the Guneaux Designs Boutique!  In my store front window are a grouping of “mix and match” outfits.  Come inside the Boutique and let me share with you information about the designs.  Or if you like, you can just window shop.  If you window shop, please don’t touch the window as you will leave fingerprints.  (Don’t you shake your head! lol.  I’m just having fun!)

I have for you several photos of the various elements of this card made with the Stampin Up All Dressed Up Framelits.  To that end, the following three pictures reflect the first mannequin’s outfit.

The outfit is made with a beautiful design from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack.  The designer of the outfit used one of the Stampin Up Dress Up Framelits to cut out the material. The blouse sports a beautiful floral broach.  Around the mannequin’s neck is a gorgeous green diamond necklace made with Stampin Up Basic Rhinestones and a permanent green marker, a state-of-the-art designer tool.  The belt that wraps around the blouse is made from Lucky Limeade Card Stock.  The skirt is made from another beautiful design of the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack.

The outfit on the mannequin in the center of the Guneaux Designs Boutique window features a beautiful cardigan (photo to the left). The cardigan is wrapped around a gorgeous dress that was made with Lucky Limeade Card Stock and the same framelit used for the first outfit.  The cardigan has beautiful pearl buttons that match the pearl necklace on the mannequin.  The pearls were made with Stampin Up Basic Pearls that were colored with the state-of-the-art permanent marker.  Don’t they just made this outfit?

The picture below shows the complete outfit.  The dress was made with another Stampin Up Dressed Up Framelit and the above-mentioned Designer Series Paper.  It is enhanced with an added Lucky Limeade ruffle at the bottom made with the same Stampin Up Dressed Up Framelit.

The third mannequin in the window is wearing a more casual outfit.  It is a two-piece outfit of a blouse and skirt as is the first outfit.

The blouse includes ruffles made from the same material as the skirt, the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack.  The designer used a tool to create the ruffles – the Stampin Up Scalloped Edge Border Punch.

The scallops were folded one on top of another to create the ruffles.  Aren’t they very fashionable?  The neck supports a pearl necklace made with Stampin Up Basic Pearls, which are also included on the Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon belt shown in both photos.

Let’s move on to the store front window itself.  In the following photo, you can see that the light from the sun is creating a reflection on the window.  It also shows a reflection of the Guneaux Designs Boutique lettering onto the wall behind the glass.  The glass window was made with a Stampin Up Window Sheet.

Notice the wood shingles around the window.  Aren’t they cool?  They were made with the Stampin Up Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Let’s give a hand to the designer of these beautiful pieces, Guneaux Designs!!!

 I hope you enjoy your Stampin Up All Dressed Up Bundle as much as I do!

 God’s Blessings!
