All Dressed up For You

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Genevieve Valdes

Guess what?  Today is a really big day!  It’s the launch of the Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog.  Click on the link located on the right side of my blog to view.  The catalog widget will appear at midnight CST.

I have also included a card featuring the All Dressed up Bundle.  See page 32 of the Spring Catalog.  This bundle is a must-have.  I used many items from the new catalog.  Do you see those luscious huge rhinestones?  They’re new!  A new 8mm rhinestone is now available (page 8).  Another new item is the paper doily (page 5).  The dress and stand is die cut using the Dress Up Framelits.  So cute!!   In case you’re wondering about the layout, it’s based on the sketch for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch.

Finally…Audrey Dress Tutorial

Posted on January 14, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

I have had several requests for the Audrey Dress Tutorial and I finally finished putting it together.  Click here to download the tutorial.   Work and deadlines have gotten in the way of me finishing this last week but here it is.  If you have any questions please email me.  The only part that’s difficult about this tutorial is figuring out how you’re going to embellish the dress.  Have fun and thank you for your patience.   Please don’t forward the tutorial but rather direct people to my blog.

Bring on the Bling!

Posted on December 28, 2010 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a fun challenge – Bring on the Bling!  Hop on over and take the challenge.  I’d love to see your shiny creation.

This time of year always makes me think of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and her iconic little black dress. With New Year’s Eve coming up I know we’ll all have some sort of get-together and the little black dress is perfect for your cocktail or dinner party.  Looking elegant is only a little black dress away.  Inspired and in celebration of Audrey I made this dress card with rhinestones, silver paper and ribbon.  I made a template, traced it in on Basic Black CS, cut it out with paper snips then ran it through my Big Shot with the Perfect Details swirl Texturz plate.  I hope you can see the texture in the photo.  I made the side ruffles out of vellum paper.  I used Very Vanilla satin ribbon for the waist sash and made a rose also from the Very Vanilla satin ribbon and embellished the rose with a clear rhinestone.  I’ll post a tutorial for the dress later this week.

I cut a Basic Black and silver paper layer.  There is another Basic Black layer I punched the edge with the Scallop border punch.  I also embellished with Very Vanilla and Black satin ribbon.  I stamped the frame and sentiment with Versamark then embossed with silver embossing powder.  The card is finished with three sizes of rhinestones.

Audrey Hepburn lives on

Posted on October 2, 2009 by Genevieve Valdes

One of my friends is having a milestone birthday and she is thinking she should be at a different point in her life.  I think she is smart, courageous, good friend, wonderful daughter and great mom.  Her birthday is on Saturday and I wanted to send her a card that would make her realize just how fabulous she is.  So I thought about when I want to feel and look good and I always reach for a little black dress whether it be a casual sundress or an elegant cocktail dress.  When I put it on it makes me feel elegant and beautiful just like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The little black dress is a classic.  It never ages it only gets better, just like Audrey.  Here’s to Audrey and my friend.  I hope she has a fabulous birthday.
