I made this card using Unity's "Undeniably You" and my Silhouette. In Silhouette Studio, I made a 5.5 x 7.5 inch rectangle, then welded "fabulous" to one edge, making it a standard 5.5x4.25 card once I cut and folded it. Second, I made the rounded rectangle and since I couldn't find the exact label shape I wanted, I found one online and used the trace feature. By aligning the label in the center of the rectangle in the program, I could then cut out the rectangle and the die at the same time, which meant (a) perfect placement and (b) you get to use the die from one card for the another (or flip it around if it's two-sided paper.) I used October Afternoon, Echo Park, and My Mind's Eye paper.
Then I stamped and heat-embossed the dress and stand onto the label die cut, and again on another piece of patterned paper, which I then fussy cut for the dress. I added a coordinating strip of paper to the inside of the card, and stamped the "a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous" Coco Channel quote on the inside.
After I made the first card, I loved it so much I made two more since I had three fabulous friends who had birthdays near the same time. You can see all three on my blog: http://corgi-creations.blogspot.com/...mes-three
