Having fun creating cards with Stampin’ Up!’s Best Dressed Suite!

Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed Suite Bundle

I have to admit, when I first saw this suite in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog, I had little to no interest in buying it. But, now it’s a different story! it is so fun and can be used for so many people in my life. My sister and my hairdresser love shoes. Perfect for them. I’m friends with the woman who runs the Kindness Konnectors group. Perfect for her. I know people who are representatives for Mary Kay and SeneGence. Perfect for them, too.

I love the Dressed to Impress stamp set, the coordinating All Dressed Up Dies, and the Best Dressed 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Below, I’ve included a tutorial for recreating the card above. This is my version of a card featured on page 54 of the mini catalog. It’s awesome the catalog provides a host of inspiration!

Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White card stock using Lovely Lipstick ink.
Die cut the sentiment using the design show above.
Stamp the shoe image twice on Whisper White card stock using Memento ink.
Color the shoes with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.
Die cut the shoes with the coordinating die.
Using SNAIL or glue dots, affix the 2 ¾” x ½” Daffodil Delight Diagonal Design to the front of the card, on top of the banner about a third of the way down.
Afix the sentiment on top using Glue Dots.
Place the shoes on the front of the card using Glue Dots.
