One of my favorite (and best-selling) cards is my dress-shaped cards. I think they're fun and flirty and very versatile.

Here's a quick tutorial on making your own set of dress cards!

First, trace or draw your dress shape onto plain colored cardstock. I like to use a piece of 12x12 cardstock, folded in half. I can fit three dresses on each sheet of paper.

Choose your top and bottom papers and attach. I like to use a lightweight adhesive like Thermoweb's tape runner. Sometimes, I like to add a little collar to the dress, and the vintage sheet music flowers from this month's Vintage Plum kit worked PERFECTLY.

Next, I added a belt. Sometimes I use paper for this and other times I use ribbon or string. It's a great way to cover up any blemishes you may have incurred at the waistline.

Then, I used some thin red thread and wrapped around the front of the card, leaving enough for a little extra at the knot. I also used a clear acrylic button with one of the diecuts for a broach.

Finally, I attached the button using clear lacquer and inked the edges of the dress. The finished product is a cute one-of-a-kind dress card.
