Paper Doily Die Day 4

Today is my final post using the Paper Doily Die.  

I saved my favorite two cards for today, so here they are...

First is my Valentine's Day card.  I cut out three hearts using the new hearts framelits dies, and one doily to use behind the hearts...and, of course, lots of shimmer paint sprayed on it! :)

And for my last card I was wondering if there was any way I could use any part of the doily for the skirt of a wedding dress.  I finally found something that seemed to work just right.  I had to go all out for this one and use more than just the shimmer paint!  For the top of the dress and the doily part of the skirt I used heat and stick powder with dazzling diamonds.

I hope you've enjoyed my creations as much as I enjoyed making them (but I sure was glad to be done! lol).

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Paper Doily Die Day 3

Today's post is day three of things created using the Paper Doily Die.
I know...today's stuff is really more for Christmas, but the box could be used any time of the year. :) This ornament is actually the first thing that popped into my mind when I was coming up with ideas for all the projects I needed.  I didn't want to use the whole doily because I thought it might be a little big for a Christmas tree...at least it would be for ours, so I trimmed it down. I cut out eight doilies to make the snowflake, glued them together, sponged them on the very edges and sprayed them with shimmer paint mixed with alcohol.

Then I decided to make a box for the ornament...after all, that could be counted as another project. :)  I needed to figure out a way to use the die for the box, but didn't want to just cut out the pieces and put them on the box, so I cut out the die shape from the top of the box, put the doily piece over it (and under) so you could see into the box.

 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Paper Doily Die Day 2

And now day two using the paper doily die...  

I saw a few cards that inspired today's two cards.  This first card was inspired by Maureen McGrail...you can check out her card here.  She used the stamp Hello, Doily.  I really loved the white on the Elegant Eggplant and  how she layered part of the stamp and lined the doily up with what was underneath, so I decided to give it a try using the Paper Doily Die.

This second card was inspired more by the colors.  I love these colors together, saw a few cards using them and this is what I came up with.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Paper Doily Die Day 1

Hello to my faithful followers...I'm finally back. I've had a busy week...ok a little more than a week and needed to take some time off and that's exactly what I did..especially this weekend (no Red Hot Stampers post). :(  However today (and for the next few days) I'm going to start posting some cards and projects that I made for my upline Glenda's open house.  She asked the demos under her to make eight things using one particular product from the new mini.  I said, "Sure!  Why not?!  I'll use the new Paper Doily die."  Once I figured out how to use it (and what a story there is behind that!) I decided I LOVE this new Sizzlits die because there is SO much you can do with it!  However, I don't recommend making eight projects all at once! lol But a card every now and then wouldn't be so bad. I think I'm going to start with my least favorite and move to my most favorite posting two things together at a time.  Not that I didn't like any of them, but by the time I got to number eight I was about done in! lol

I decided to do something nice and simple for this project and throw a little bit of chocolate in the mix.  Who doesn't love chocolate, right?

By looking at the lid you can see that I cut the middle part of the die out.  I put it on top of a very vanilla circle and placed it on the lid of the jelly jar...yup, nice and simple! :)

I was kind of going for vintage with the look of this card, plus I don't think I've used these colors lately and wanted to give them a try.  I also wanted to see how the die looked with some ribbon woven into it.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
