I have not seen the movie or the play, figure I would wait till it comes out and I can turn on the subtitles, I don't do good with musicals.

I told you I would share what I demonstrated at Spring Fling. Rhonda and I always do a quick demonstration after lunch. We usually show a new technique or a new product. I saw the cutest video that Kimberly Van Diepen did making these little dresses and I had to do it…and warning, they are addictive, they are worse than Lays chips, you can't make just one. Thanks Kimberly!!!! This uses the new Pop ' N Cut Dress form, die and framelits.

Tip: the Tulle that SU! carried in the Holiday catalog is a much better quality than what you get at the craft stores.  It takes quite a bit of heating to make it shrink and be careful you don't burn it, the craft store stuff goes crinkly fast!

My sweet friend and downline Mary Noble sent me some pics of me Demonstrating…Thanks Mary!

Cheesy grin.

Explaining how to fold the pop up card. I'll show you the card tomorrow.

Now look out here comes the fashion show….

An angel in white. I went back and forth with this one whether I added wings or not and I opted not to.

Check out those cute shoes…ok they are not shoes, they are old wooden spools covered with DSP.

This one was pretty close to Pool Party. I need to go back and heat and crinkle a bit. It has been smooshed a bit with being packed a few times and shown around.

I love this kinda goth one.

I painted the spool and dowel rod black and added rhinestones along the edge that I had colored with a black sharpie.

This is the Stampin' Up! tulle and it does not crinkle like the other, so then I wanted to do one that I didn't heat it up.

Gotta love that First Edition DSP, the tulle keeps the dowel rod tucked into the spool.

This one I left without heating, a girl has to have one fancy dress right?

This was a fun little base, I glued the Ribbon Trim on top of the spool. Now you need to weigh them down a bit, so if you have a washer or something that would work, when I was doing them it was late and Jeff was sleeping so I just glued quarters to the bottom of the spool.

Remember when I showed this as a tease? It was actually…

…this!

Oh and to get the sparkle, I took the smooch spritz and spritzed the dress (after it was heated and crinkled) and then I sprinkled on Dazzling Diamonds and then shook the excess off.

Oh I did a frame too, but I need to take pictures, I will show it tomorrow with the card.

Have an awesome Friday and thanks for stopping in.
