Sweet Loteria Dress Notecard/Gift Card Tutorial

I have a quicky for you!

How freakin cute are these????






They are insanely easy and fast to make, and I adore them! You can use them as notecards, gift tags, ornaments, etc!

Supplies:
Loteria Cards. (I like The Crafty Chica line)
Construction paper
Scissors
Decorative edge scissors
Glue stick
embellishments. (I used ribbon and silk roses)

I just drew out a simple dress pattern. Since these are going to be notecards, I outlined my envelope on the loteria card, so that the dress I made would fit inside the envelope. (pretty smart, huh?)

Then I cut out my dress using my plain scissors. I used the first dress as a template and cut out a bunch more.

Then I applied glue to the back of the dress and glued to a plain piece of construction paper.
Using my decorative scissors, I cut around the edge of the dress leaving a little scalloped border around the dress.

I went through my stash of ribbon and tied around the dress, gluing a small flower as an accent.

Viola! these little dresses took less then 3 minutes to make!

I am going to make a hole punch on some of them, and run gold ribbon, to use as a gift tag.

I might even attach some beads to it too. Don't let me get started on the glitter opportunities either!

Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!!!
