This special evening is…PROM!
After I did the post before focusing on the petal cone…I had an email from a friend asking if I would make 2 of these gems for her daughter and friend! She (the Mom) was going to fill it with goodies….lipsticks, mints and knowing her – a beautiful heartfelt note wishing her "little girl" a magical evening!
She sent me a photo of the colors of the dresses but I was too afraid to try to match them so I went to the neutral /safe option….but naturally added some bling!
Please refer back to my post on how I made these! Super fun – Super WOW…and you better hurry up and purchase this die….click here – NOW as it is a keeper and you will use it often "just because"!
Please give me some feedback on how I'm doing with doing these bullet point tips!
- Petal Cone Bigz Die is the main stage of this post! TIP ALERT – I find it better to only cut 1 piece of paper at a time…true you can do 2 but I find the impressions become too deep and you will have a better chance of tearing ( but…every Mr. Big Shot is different)
- The colors I used were the NEW…SMOKY SLATE (love), and COASTAL CABANA and Basic Gray!
- ALWAYS use Sticky Stripe to put this gem together! It needs the toughest adhesive we have!
- The strips are 1/2" strips and I would adhere them BEFORE you assemble the cone…soooo much easier to do one strip…snip…the other….snip etc….
- Do you like the BLING….well a Prom is a special evening….I used our Rhinestone Basic Jewels to do the touch…but TIP ALERT…I was afraid that the adhesive would not hold it so I did put a dab of Multipurpose Liquid Glue!
I hope that these girls have a magical evening filled with laughter, lots of dancing and memories for a lifetime! I never went to a Prom and I think that it is such a special milestone! ( I threatened my kids that I was going to chaperone their Prom….really wanted to but I didn't)
Have a wonderful day and tomorrow will be my "organizational post" that you can email me back and I would love, LOVE to send you a goodie!

These are beautiful. I am certain these young women will treasure them as great remembrances of the event.
LOVE the instructions with your posts. It is a lot of work yet will drive people to your blog.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Susan, your posts are so much fun to read! Your friend’s girls will love these prom gifts – they are just gorgeous! Love the neutral colors and the bling and all of those ribbons. Thanks for sharing your tips, too! I have been stamping for a while, but the products are always changing, and your tips have been so helpful! Have a great day 🙂
I love it when you include instructions…so helpful. Also, love the great ideas. I am sure this will be a wonderful gift! I need an idea for confirmation. ??? I am sure you must have done something in the past. 🙂
The instructions you have been including are great! Thank you for helping us learn to create beautiful things!
What a nice little “treat bag” idea from the prom mom! I hope the girls have a fun and memorable time!
Such a beautiful rememberance for a special occasion. Thanks for the Tips and Instructions, such a help when time is a factor.
