Another Anna Griffin Fashion Show - Anna's Paper Dress Dies

You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life. 
Coco Chanel


Hey there from Nannyland,

A few weeks ago I posted these Anna Griffin dresses  and mentioned I had created enough to assemble cards through the millennium.  In keeping with that prediction, I have enjoyed being able to come up with adorable cards in a flash.  I couldn't resist posting another fashion show featuring some cards I made for some very sweet ladies I recently visited. I added some small changes to the backgrounds and polished up my inside greeting. 


I cut stylish gold foiled card stock to fit the back panels of my cards and I love the elegance it adds to my projects. 


I saved my original "wardrobe" files in Cricut Design Space so all I had to do was access them and cut them out. 


I had fun shopping for the perfect dresses in my humungous, assorted and very chic stash. 


There are two different options for the bodice of the dress, so it was fun to choosing the style I thought best suited my recipient. 


I fashioned either diamond or pearl necklaces to add a touch of elegance to my outfits. 


For the inside, I used water color dp with gold accents, die cut a layered Hero Arts sentiment and added cute Spellbinders sewing-themed die cuts at the bottom. 

I took this collection to Northern Utah with me for our annual 4th of July celebration and hand delivered them to my darling sister and sister-in-laws.  I loved expressing my love for them in this hand-made-with-love way and, from their reactions,  I think they were a hit.

Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
Nancy (aka Pink Panoply)
