Wisteria Wonder

March Stamp Club Card

In the last year or so, you can see doilies everywhere.  From cards to home decor.  Stampin' Up has even gotten in on the fad.  Not only does it have a stamp set that features the doily look in Delicate Doilies.  But it also has its very own Sizzlet die.  You can see the use of both on this card.
  
Once again, CASEd someone else's card.  You can see where I got my inspiration from HERE.

It is a fairly basic card to make just by looking at the photo and the supply list.

TIP:  When using the Sizzlet Large Paper Doily, create an extra shim to add to your Big Shot sandwich.  I found a thin piece of card board and cut it to the same size as the Big Shot cutting pads.  I placed the sandwich in this order:  Multipurpose Platform (at Tab 1), Cardboard Shim, Cutting Pad, Sizzlet Doily, Cutting Pad.  It felt quite stiff when turning the handle but that is OK.  

Use a paper piercer to poke out the pieces of the doily.  I found that when I added the extra shim, it took less time to poke out the pieces and many of them fell out as I took the doily off of the die. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Delicate Doilies, Petite Pairs
Paper:  Flirtatious Specialty DSP, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White
Ink:  Craft White, Wisteria Wonder
Accessories:  Sizzlet Large Paper Doily, Paper Piercer, Big Scallop Circle (non-SU), 2-1/2 Circle Punch, Bigz Butterfly Die, Wisteria Wonder Ribbon, Dimensionals, Large Pearl

Another November Stamp Club Card:

Once again I got ideas off Splitcoaststampers.  HERE is the card I CASED.  I jumped at the chance to get out the Paper Crimper which has been lying dormant for many years!!  I bought it when I first started as a Demonstrator with Stampin' Up and actually never used it in a workshop.  I like the look of a corrugated strip.  

Supplies:

Stamps:  Delicate Doilies, Merry & Type

Paper:  Poppy Parade, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Old Olive

Ink:  Old Olive, Markers:  Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip

Accessories:  Paper Crimper, Rhinestone, Chocolate Chip 1/2" Dotted Scalloped Ribbon, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Dazzling Details

Nice and quick card.   Need to make those sometimes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Delicate Doilies

Delicate Doilies is another new set from the new Stampin' Up Catalogue.  I really like this set but I debated in getting it because I think it might be challenging to come up with different ideas on how to use it.  It is a set that I would not normally choose.  Maybe that is why I am having difficulties thinking of creative ways to use it.  It is good to have challenges and have to think outside the box, right?

Supplies:

Stamps:  Delicate Doilies, Well Scripted (retired)

Paper:  Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

Ink:  Baja Breeze, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip

Accessories:  5/8" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Edge Distresser
