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.

Buried Gold - Gold Jewlery



The next colour up is called “Buried Gold” (a sandy gold metallic shade) from the Tarte palette and the first thing that comes to mind is pirate treasure. However, we’re not hunting for treasure but we’re keeping with the gold theme and looking at some different gold jewellery options. We’ve found some gorgeous pieces, some are more expensive than others, that you can take a look at.

Gold is definitely making a comeback. There are so many gold shades that you can go with depending on your skin tone and what you are wearing. Some people like a subtle lighter gold shade and some prefer a darker deeper gold. Whatever you choose, we’ve got some options for you to take a look at.

DIY Ornaments


Once December 1st hits, then it’s time to put up the Christmas tree. Mine went up this weekend. Usually it’s a work in progress as the first step is putting up the tree and then the next few days and weeks, we add ornaments to it.

We thought that it might be a fun idea to make some ornaments this week. In the past we have painted ceramic and wooden shapes, but this year we thought we’d use the plastic ornaments that you can find at the craft store which open up. We’re going to open them up and fill them to decorate as well as paint them.

Again, this one is a really inexpensive craft to make with items that you can easily get at the dollar store or probably even find at home.

Painting the ornaments takes more time so you’ll want to do this further in advance if you want to give them away or hang them up. We’ve picked a variety of colours for paint to use; some are Christmasy and some are not. We also have a bunch of different sizes of brushes and some sponges as well. You can pre-sketch out some designs or you can free style it and come up with your design as you go. Do whatever you like. Here’s what we came up with...




This is a drip paint ornament. What we've done is pick a couple of matching colours and dripped them into the ornaments and moved the paint around by turning the ornaments. We did this process a few times to get all of the area covered. Then we let them hang upside down overnight to drain out the excess paint and this is what we got...




Another option to is to fill the ornaments with curled ribbons, shredded snow, larger glitter bits, small punched shapes, or coloured paper or paper from old books so that you can see the words.






For both, you can put ribbons/bows on the outside to adorn the finished ornaments.  


Now you can hang them up in your tree or around your house or you can make a bunch and hand them out as gift this year.
