This folded dress card is another that I've been wanting to try for a while. Since I needed a card for a wedding shower earlier this month, I decided this might work. Got the instructions for creating the dress from my Fast and Fun Folded Cards book by Annie's Attic. Since I don't own any scallop oval punches, I substituted by using my scallop oval small and large nestabilities instead, which seems to have worked out fine. I also added an extra tier to my dress so it would be longer and look more like a gown. I just loved that this was so easy to put together!
I used text weight pearlized paper to do the dress and glitzed it up a bit with stickles and flat back pearls, then finished it with a bow. Used the George cartridge and my Cricut to cut the oval window on a piece of Bazzill Bling Diamond cardstock, then ran it through the Cuttlebug Plum Blossom folder for texture. The flourish cuts are from a Quickutz retired set, using DCWV glittered cardstock. Sakura blossoms are from small and medium Carl punches.
Used more flourishes from the same Quickutz set on the inside of the card right below the slit for the giftcard. Oops...LOL...that McDonald's giftcard you see in my photo is one that I keep in my craft room to use as a sizing template to create giftcard holders...the actual giftcard that went into this card was a very pretty silver Macy's one that really matched perfectly!
