Red & Black Evening Dress - Glitter Monster Craft Blog

This gorgeous birthday card is a great design for any girl who loves fashion and party dresses. The sumptious red velvet ribbon and the beautiful die-cut dress embellishment give this card a look of sheer luxury.

How to make the card:

Directions to make:

Measure and cut a rectangle from the raven black card big enough to fit on to the front of the card blank with approx a 1.5cm to 2cm border all the way round. Do not stick it on just yet.

Cut a strip from the red velvet ribbon 2-3 cm longer than the width of the black card rectangle. Use double sided sticky tape along the whole length of the ribbon to stick it across the black card about one quarter to one third of the way up. Wrap the ends of the ribbon around and stick them behind the black card.

Mount the black card rectangle onto the centre of the front of the card blank using sticky foam pads or double sided sticky tape.

Cut a strip of a simple border from the diamond red hearts & flowers borders peel off sheet and stick it across the top of the black card rectangle about 1cm down from the top.

Cut another strip of the same simple border and stick it across the strip of the red velvet ribbon.

Use double sided sticky tape or sticky foam pads to stick the red evening dress die-cut embellishment to the black card rectangle centrally between the ribbon strip and the peel off border at the top.

Using dabs of strong craft glue, stick a couple of the 8mm silver material hearts above to the left of the dress and another couple of hearts below to the right of the dress.

Finally take a set of the Happy Birthday wording from the diamond red happy birthday peel off sticker sheet and stick the words to the black card, underneath the red velvet ribbon strip.
