I then decided to try a variation of these shoes for a Cinderella glass slipper. I thought about giving it to the little girl next door, but then I found out that a friend of mine had a 50-year obsession with the movie Cinderella. I think that gives her prior claim to it.
This slipper was made by using one self-laminating sticky sheet sprinkled with glitter and sequins. Then I mounted a sheet of acetate on top. From there I used the pattern I mentioned from the CASE above. I used my CB to emboss some silver tape for the buckle and the band on the heel. Used the heat tool on the organdy ribbon to crinkle it. Rhinestones were used on the bows. Learned to use some interesting new words trying to get the adhesive to cooperate.
Trust me, stick with card stock to make these shoes, perhaps in different colors for variety! This stuff was a bit of a pain to work with, but I have to admit I liked the result. I plan to put a nice organdy bag with candy in the slipper.

Oh my gosh! That freakin ROCKS! It's soooo pretty! My sister's favorite movie is Cinderella. Hmm, maybe in 10 years I'll be brave enough to try something like this!

Your photography skills rank right up there with the FABulous job on this shoe!! I've tried the simple CS one and had to give it up...maybe I'll try again now--TFS
