Bridal Shower Bonanza

The July 20th Blog Challenge is celebrating showers for Brides or Babies.  The winner of the challenge will get their choice of one of the fabulous new Creative Cuts & More Birthday Card kits that contain everything you need except for adhesive to make 12 fabulous cards.

CC&M shared some of their fabulous die cuts with the Caardvarks Crew, so we have an entire gallery of Shower-themed projects to share with you.  Also, there's a special check-out code for Caardvarks Readers.  If you use cv070915 at check-out, you will receive 15% off your CC&M order forthe week of July 20th – July 27th … so what are you waiting for???

I had a lot of fun decorating this fun Dress Box that was die cut from wonderfully shimmery Bazzill Bling cardstock (they have so many different papers to choose from it's almost mind boggling).  I stamped the front of the dress with the Hero Arts Wavy Leaf Pattern in Versamark Dazzle ink and embossed with Ranger Bridal Embossing Tinsel.

The bouquet from Hero Arts Wedding Celebration was stamped in dark green on silver metallic cardstock, colored with metallic markers, and cut out to attach to the front of the dress.

For the back of the dress I covered it with strips of strong double-sided tape and cut pieces of vintage lace that I started pleating and attaching from the bottom.  I finished with a sheer ribbon bow around the bodice.

I also used Creative Cuts & More A2 Gatefold Crescent Card in Metallic cardstock for the coordinating card.  I embossed the front panels with the Cuttlebug d'vine Swirl on both front panels (don't you love the nice deep embossing with the thick metallic cardstock).  The center band (which comes with the card) was layered with silver ribbon.

I added a coordinating silver metallic insert and stamped Mr. & Mrs. (from Stampin' Up) at the bottom.  The bridal couple from A Muse was stamped on the CC&M Small Antique Label.

I can't wait to see your fun Shower designs.
