Oscar Dress Card 2021 Part 1

 


Alright, it’s finally Oscar dress card time. The Oscars were defiantly a lower key type of situation this year and they should be due to COVID, but those who attended still had some gorgeous outfits that inspired us to create a beautiful and vibrant 2021 Oscar card. This year we are doing things kind of different. We’ll be doing our top 10 countdown today but you’ll have to stay tuned for next week’s Oscar card tutorial and reveal! Here are our top 10 outfits (in no particular order except for our number one choice). 

Zendaya – Yellow and bright colours seem to be big this year. After a very dull and sad year, it was nice to see all this brightness and happiness. It’s not just yellow, it’s neon yellow so there was no way to not notice it.

Regina King- This dress may not be for everyone but for some reason I was drawn to it. The silk and the sparkly stripes worked together. The shoulders and sleeves may seem a bit too much for some, but overall it was a very pretty dress.

Margot Robbie- Print...this dress reminded me of the 90s. I may have even had a dress similar to this. The version that Margot Robbie wore was elevated. It had a simpleness to it but it also seemed very glamourous and sophisticated.

Amanda Seyfried – Red and poofy! This gown was something else. Not everyone can pull off such a big gown but it was perfect for Amanda Seyfried and it just caught your eye. The deep V and all of the rouching took it to the next level.

Colman Domingo- Pink and sparkly, this suit is so cheerful and bright. It really stood out and not in a bad way. It has just the right amount of glamour and pizzazz and I loved it.

Leslie Odom Jr.- Anything that includes gold stands out to me and this was no exception. The suit had more of a muted matte gold look so it wasn’t too much.

Halle Berry-This gown was very pretty. I think that is the best word to describe it. It was a shade of pink that you don’t see too often; it was soft and calming. It had so many little outstanding elements like the bow on the front, the layering, the soft sweet color, and the beautiful bodice.

Viola Davis- The white gown that Viola Davis had on was gorgeous. The cutout design at the top complimented the flowy simple bottom. Very elegant.

Carey Mulligan – Ok, so I was torn between this gown and the one I chose as number for the top pick and Oscar card; both are very different from each other. I loved this colour. It was more of a metallic yellow than gold. It’s not one that everyone can pull off, I couldn’t, but again it just exudes this happiness and cheerfulness because of its brightness. I also loved the cutout and the wide poof of the skirt.

Vanessa Kirby- As my number one choice I picked Vanessa Kirby’s gown. It is very simple, but I found it so elegant and the soft blush colour makes for a classic. The small cutout on the bodice, backless element, and the train worked to further the elegance. It reminds me of something that Audrey Hepburn would wear.

There you have our top 10 Oscar outfits. See you next week with our card inspired by Vanessa Kirby's 2021 Oscar gown.

Birthday Card

 


Another week already!

This week I made a Birthday card for a friend so I thought that I would share it with you.

As Summer wraps up, I thought I would go with a bright and fun card.

I used the regular size that we do for cards, 6 ¾ x4 ¾. I picked a bright green as my base and then layered a 6 ¼ x 4 ¼ bright pink layer on top.

Before doing that I stamped the pink layer with beige ink and then used white embossing powder over it to make for bright white words. I left some space under the words, an inch or so. Then I flattened this layer.

                                   

I punched some bright green hearts, three to be exact. Then when the layer was flat, I glued the three hearts under the words.

                                                       

Then finally I glued the layer onto the card and then a bright cheery Birthday card was created!

Mother's Day 3D Heart Flower Card



It’s the countdown to Mother’s Day this week and it’s a busy busy week for us. We thought the best thing to start off with is a card because that’s what we are pros at. ;)

Nicole came across a cool idea for a framed picture of  3D heart flowers. Take a look at the link here http://wonderfuldiy.com/wonderful-diy-paper-flower-heart-wall-art/3d-paper-flower-heart-wonderfuldiy2/. She thought that this would look good as a card for Mother’s Day and I agreed. Instead of making these 3D heart flowers into the shape of a heart, Nicole is making a flowery design because a big heart on a card is a bit tricky to do.

It does take some time and prep and to make because you need to punch out a bunch of hearts, but it’s not too difficult of a design.

We’re doing a bright and cheerful yellow and white card with a splash of light green. Perfect for Spring and perfect for Mother’s Day.

All you really need to do for this card is cut out a card and then punch a variety of mini to medium hearts and then fold them in half and arrange them in a circle with the points in the middle and all facing the same way. We’ve done our flowers all the same shade of yellow for each and then added the mini green hearts as vines/leaves.

Take a look at our creation.



Give one a go and personalize it for your mom or make her a framed big heart picture like the one we showed you earlier.
