Kit 13 "sweetie pie".

Hi, For kit 13 I used the Webster's Pages Let's Celebrate range, which I also covered the Dressform in.

So let's begin:

Step 1. Cut a 9.5inch square out of the "Surprise"paper. Use that paper to mount your photo on (on the dot side).  Now trim the paper leaving a 1cm border around the edge of the photo and distress.

Step 2: Take the "Party blooms"paper and fussy cut the entire paper from the top lefthand corner flower around to the yellow flower on the right hand corner. PLEASE NOTE! Leave at least 1cm at the beginning of where you start cutting and at the end so you can slot the die cut paper in later.

Step 3: Take the die cut paper and cut along the top of the orange border, distress around the edges and slot it into the Party Blooms paper (see photo).

Step 4: Stick down your mounted photo into place (see photo). Now take the pink felt trim and using a  piece of double sided tape stick it to the layout and as you go gather the trim and stick down.

Step 5: Take "You're invited" and cut out the entire cake stand. Once done, using mounting tape, place cake stand on top of left hand side of photo (see photo).

Step 6: Using mounting tape, stick down all of the roses and flower, that are around the edge of the layout, to create a layering effect.

Step 7:  Now bend the top right hand corner of the die cut paper and the yellow paper back so you create a "scroll "effect and tape down. Add titleUSING MINI ALPHAS AND YOUR OWN ALPHAS.

Step 8: Please follow the instructions below to complete the dress form then stick down on the right hand side of the photo.

Here's a quick step by step:
1. Colour the base and the top of the dress form.

2. Cover the dress form with glue and stick down on top of the wrong side of the paper.

3. Cut around the edges, sand with file set or sand paper.

4. Make a skirt out of 15cm x 8.5cm piece of paper, border punch the bottom of the paper and fold, i have used a score pal to help with the folding but you can create it with your hands as well.

5. Glue down some tulle first then add the skirt and then some trim on top, make sure you glue it down at the back of the dress form.
6. Add a flower and lots of Kindy Glitz to bring out the bling.

Step 9: Now to finish your layout add touches of kindyglitz (I used Crystallina) wherever you would like to  to emphasise details.

Thanks from the girls at Fred.
