Friday Flashback: All Dressed Up

Happy Friday, y'all!  And what is this, I'm back for the third week in a row with a Friday Flashback on a Friday?!  Well, it took me so long to unmount those stamp sets yesterday and then in the afternoon I decided to work on a new scrapbook layout, so no card for today.  But that's okay because I've got a fun Flashback post to share instead!

Today's stamp set is All Dressed Up, and I'll be honest:  I had never used it before.  I bought it because of the super cute Dress Up dies that went with it!  So for today's cards I finally inked up the stamp set *and* used the dies.

Not gonna lie, if I saw a dress with that butterfly pattern from the Butterfly Bijou DSP, I would totally buy it.

Stamps:  All Dressed Up
Ink:  Misty Moonlight
Paper:  Blushing Bride, Misty Moonlight, Thick Basic White, Butterfly Bijou DSP Stack
Accessories:  Dress Up dies, Hydrangea dies, mini Dimensionals

Here I used the actual dress stamp in the stamp set.  And this one got sent out to my friend Missy!

Stamps:  All Dressed Up
Ink:  Magenta Madness, Bermuda Bay
Paper:  Magenta Madness, Coastal Cabana
Accessories:  Ornate Frames dies, mini Dimensionals

More dresses (you see there are a couple of different dress dies) cut from Butterfly Bijou scraps and the birthday sentiment stamp.  All three cards came together quick and it was fun to play with the dies again, not to mention actually using the coordinating stamp set :)

The hubs has today off work and Ryan is home from daycare, so I think we're going to take a day trip to Heidelberg because the weather is gorgeous!  Have a fantastic Friday, y'all.

You know, I really think that Stampin' Up! is on to something with having the not-really-mini catalogs last longer.  At first when I got the spring occasions catalog, I saw some things I liked, but not a whole lot that I really, *really* needed.  Fast forward a couple months and I'm well on my way to acquiring at least half the catalog (nobody tell my husband!).  I really wasn't going to get the All Dressed Up stamp set and Framelits until I saw all the dress cards that Lyssa Zwolanek was making with it (mostly here, but also here and here...and here) and then, lemming that I am, suddenly I found myself in possession of all the dressy stuff.  Oops.

Ok, really, I'm not sad about that.  'Cause cuteness!

Perhaps I should have switched around the colors and done a Raspberry Ripple dress with a Wisteria Wonder card base...I think the Raspberry would pop better against the Basic Gray patterned paper but whatever, I still had fun making this.  It's been a while since I dusted off my Top Note die, and this is the maiden voyage not just for the All Dressed Up Framelits but also the Notable Alphabet.  I had originally planned to cut the dress out of some patterned paper but then I found a scrap of Wisteria Wonder that was already embossed, so I decided to roll with that.

The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches:

I thought about adding some white brads to the lower right corner like in the sketch but I thought maybe it was okay without them?  The color combo is from Still Addinktive:

Obviously I only did the color challenge part of that one :)  Though I suppose maybe I could have still used the dress die cut on that sketch, but I really wanted to get that FMS one done by the challenge deadline.

Thanks for stopping by today!
