CARD BOX AND 3-D HELLO DOILY EMBELLISHMENT

 The most wonderful thing about the blogosphere is all the amazing people we get to meet that we might never have met without the blogs, websites, etc.  I have become a follower to a lady in France who is also a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I love her artistic style.  Her name is Cecile Ortiz and her site is called Lezards de Cilou.  I found this idea of making the Hello Doily into a 3D embellishment.  She put hers on a card, but I decided to decorate my card box and give it as a gift.

 I inked up my HELLO DOILY stamp with pinks in both ink pads as well as markers.  Where I wanted a specific color in a specific spot, I used the markers and the thump method.  Stamp on whisper white card stock 3 times in 3 different ways of color .

The first layer is just cut out around the edge, the next layer is cut within the first stitching and the third layer is cut just in the middle part of the petals.  See my photo so you understand what I am talking about.

The third layer I not only cut the skinny petals out but also cut them apart and then used glue dots to adhere them onto the top layer, closer together.  By bending and curling, you create the 3D effect.

 I put it on my card box, which is made with one sheet of DSP and holds 4-6 cards plus envies.  I am going to put HELLO DOILY CARDS in the box for my gift.  I added seam binding thru the oval punched handle for a bit of prettiness.

I made four of these to give to my next HELLO DOILY class members.  I used vintage RASPBERRY LEMONADE DSP because it has so many different colors of pinks.  LOVE IT!!

Thanks to CECILE for the idea.  Way to go girl!!

Thanks for stopping by today to visit.  I hope you will stop to visit again soon.

For Try Stampin' on Tuesday, I stretched their sketch a bit to make the circle AND the flower the same part of my design.  Hope that is ok!

HELLY DOILY CARD FOR BIRTHDAY

Black and white is a very elegant color combo. It is dramatic and clean and at the same time.  Here is my take on a black and white doily birthday card:

 I am loving the design and the colors of this card.  What do you think?  I saw one similar on the web but it had no name.

 Here is a closeup of the 4 layers popped up with stampin dimensionals. I AM LOVING PUNCHES.  LOTS AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT PUNCHES.  I USED 4 PUNCHES ON THIS CARD.

 This sentiment tag is done opposite of the doily - it is stamped on a black base and white embossing powder used.

Of course I had to put something inside, didn't I?

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again to see more creations.

HELLO DOILY SYMPATHY CARD

Do you have the HELLO DOILY stamp yet?  It is a beautiful background stamp of a crocheted doily, just like grandma made for us!!  LOVE IT.  My next stamp class will be cards made with this stamp.  Here is one we are making:

 Isn't this card so elegant yet simple?  The perfect card to let someone know you care and know of their sorrow.

 I used crumb cake card stock and then stamped the doily in Versamark and used CLEAR embossing powder with the heat gun.  Can't really see the stamped image until you sponge on Crumb Cake ink all over and around the doily.  Follow that with sponging Early Espresso ink just in the middle part to darken it up a bit.

 I used the Natural Ribbon with just a knot tied and the tag punch for my sentiment, tied with bakers twine around the knot.

Here's another look at the completed card.  IF you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
