Formal Attire Card



Hi bloggers!  I just love how the Pressed Shirt die set can be used for so many looks and occasions!  See how easy it is to turn it into a formal card for a wedding or anniversary card in today's video offering.






























 The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  9" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Morning ☺

    Very smart and sophisticated. There's something about a man in a nice suit with crisp shirt and tie if you get my meaning lol add a lovely aftershave and I'm totally floating lol. Anyway, could two identical shirts be made, with one overlapping the other similar to shadowing and be used for a civil ceremony for the guys ? Although I have this die I've not used it yet but just a thought ?
    I've bought my shirt type card ready just not put the two together maybe the video will give me the kick start i need so thank you. Air smelling very smoky here due to the fires on the moors and we're some distance away so it must be awful for those with farmland there.
    So I'll send love and hugs and hope your day is a good one xxx

    Hi Sue
    Ooooh, a mans card! Great, as I have problems with the men in my life (not really, just their cards) xx

    ReplyDelete
  21. Unknown28 June 2018 at 07:03

    This looks like so much fun! I love how you get the look of pleats just from scoring glossy stock. And the cummerbund in black the same way! He looks so handsome in that bow tie. For two grooms, maybe one could wear the bow tie and the other the regular tie.

    I'd like to see someone do the Hawaiian shirt. Or a vintage one like Charlie Harper used to wear. Would you just cut the collar open when there isn't a tie? Oh, paisley would be good, too.

    Enjoy your Thursday!

    Best,
    Donita

    PS, I just saw Wendy's post about how she cut shirts from paper she did with shaving foam. This is the one time you'd want the scent of shaving foam on a card!
