Christmas Doilies!

I just knew that the big Hello, Doily stamp would make some really cool cards and I thought why not use it for Christmas? Here are two cool cards I made using it. On the first card I paired it with the delicate doilies stamp set. First, I stamped the large doily in Versamark ink onto cherry cobbler paper and embossed it with white embossing powder.

You can tell I didn't get it inked quite evenly but I like how that makes it look sort of weathered and vintage on this card. Then I stamped around it using some of the stamps from the delicate doilies stamp set with cherry cobbler ink. I like the subtle background that added. Then to finish off I added some satin ribbon and a small tie of lucky limeade ruffled ribbon to give it that Christmas punch. Then I stamped the saying from the Beautiful Season stamp set and added that on with the label punch.


The second Doily card is similar but a little cleaner looking. I started out embossing the Large doily the same way as on the first card but this time I inked it a little better. Then I added a white flower punched out with the 5 petal flower punch into the center and curled the petals up with a bone folder. The center of the flower is the little flower in the …. punch pack. Then I punched out a strip using the Lace Ribbon border punch and added the same sentiment, this time with an oval. Which card do you like better?

string and doilies!

How cool is this? Doesn't it remind you of that game spiro-graph? This set, Delicate Doilies, reminds me of that game! I loved it when I was a kid! To make the cool embellishment, I stamped the smaller doily in cherry cobbler and attached it to a scallop punch circle. Then I started wrapping bakers twine around between the scallops!

stamps: Delicate Doilies, Trendy Trees,
ink: cherry cobbler, crumb cake, early espresso, whisper white
paper: cherry cobbler, crumb cake, early espresso, whisper white
other: Scallop circle punch, circle punch, scallop trim border punch, corner rounder

Delicate Doilies Card Set

One lucky winner received this set of four cards at my open house! I was having fun playing with the new InColors and the Delicate Doilies Stamp set! The first card (above) is the same layout as the one we made at my open house but in different colors.

The second card below I used the same color scheme but added some flowers punched with the triple flower punch.


This one I used some pearls on:

And the last one is very simple, just the doilies, the new punch and the sentiment from the heard from the heart stamp set.

stamps: Delicate Doilies, Heard from the Heard, sincere Salutations, thank you kindly
ink: pool party, lucky limeade, calypso coral
paper: pool party, lucky limeade, calypso coral, whisper white
other: pearls, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch, Lace Ribbon Border punch, Scallop trim border punch, oval punch, scallop oval punch

Open House Cards!

In Case you missed my open house -here's what everyone got to make! This card uses the 3 of the new in colors --calypso coral, pool party and lucky limeade! Plus the new Stamp set Delicate Doilies and the new punch - Lace ribbon border punch. Some of the ladies had a hard time with the punch but I played with it after everyone left and I think that you just can't be afraid to push really hard. When you hesitate and stop pushing it gets jammed!!

I also had this cute bookmark as a make-and-take -- this was a fun way to try out all the new in-colors! The flower is from the new hostess set Array of Sunshine. If you haven't checked out the new hostess benefits yet, they rock! you can use your hostess $$ to buy sets from the hostess section of the book at a great discount, or use them for anything else in the catalog!! How cool is that? If you'd like to host a party or join my stamp club and get the discount without having to host, just let me know!!

And I updated the flowers on my booking cake to the new colors-- isn't it pretty??

Thanks so much to those of you who attended! I'm looking forward to lots of fun classes and workshops with the new catalog! If you weren't able to attend and would like a copy of the catalog just let me know!!
