Welcome to Day Three of my Growing in Unity Week! In honor of Day Three, I have three of a kind to share with you, using the
Undeniably You set.
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. I made the cards using my Silhouette. First 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. Here's some pics of each card by its onesies:
I hope y'all are having a FABULOUS week yourself! Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win a Unity stamp set and also drop by later today for the Amber Ink birthday blog hop (and another chance to win a prize!). And of course don't forget to vote!

What Fabulous cards. Love them.
WHOA, Meg! These are stunning! I love all that paper, especially the texty kind and the word 'fabulous' hanging off the edge is, well, fabulous! Hmmm, three friends with birthdays around the same time. Huh. ;)
Great cards! Love the design!!
These cards are stunning and I love what you did with the border. Great design.
A trio of fabulousness, indeed! Love these cards, but of course the one with red is my favourite. ;) Canada Post better cough it up soon, that's all I've got to say.
Love your fabulous cards!!! I need to get busy with my Silhouette and do some fancy cutting like these!!
Fabulously, fantastic...WOW that is a mouthful. Your cards are great ,I love what you did with the lettering.
With Love Judi
FANTABULOUS! I love "fabulous" border. Works perfectly with that dress form! :)
Wow! WOW! The stamps look so good against the papers. These are awesome! You are really making me want a Silhouette...
Meg, I can't imagine what you are going to do to top these--and you still have two? three? more days of GIU?? I love everything about them. :) The papers, the design, the "fabulous" down the edge. I have no idea what you're talking about when you carefully and helpfully explain about welding and such, but I adore the results. You obviously know what you are talking about!!! Yes, these are fabulous, indeed. :)
Stunning Cards!! Love how you created the Fabulous on the edge of your cards!!
Ok, these cards are just the cutest! Very, very cool! Unfortunately, my birthday was last month so I guess I'll have to wait until next year. :) Seriously, really cute design! Thanks for the chance to win!
Sooooooooooooooooo FABULOUS!!!!! Love how you have the word on the edge of the card!!
What a great way to use a lot of patterned paper too!!!!!!!!
I'm all voted too!! Good luck :)
Maria
congrats on the idol win, keep em coming I just adore your style of cards
I saw this card from the hotel room and was seriously tempted to go steal a silhouette from the booth, or maybe just beg nicely for a free one :) Welding words sounds like my kind of manual labor! Love the mix of patterns, love that dress (breaking mine out soon, I think)!
super cute idea!!! Love it!
