Doilies... part deux!


Did you see yesterday's doily making post? Well here is more of the same. I'm addicted to stamping doilies! You can see Betsy Veldman's original post here for more doily making information. The most fun part of doily building is breaking out all those old stamp sets. For this doily I used a few. From Papertrey ink I used: Wedding Day, Boxes, bags and Tags, and Borders and Corners circles. From Waltzingmouse I used: Very Vintage Labels 4.
Here is a close up shot. I used some Ocean Tides buttons and some chiffon ribbon that I picked up for a steal at Tuesday morning. The mat is some old Tres Jolie paper, I have had it forever. The base is Dark Chocolate cardstock. The doily was made on Rustic cream.

Here's an inside shot. Clean and simple. This is going to be the anniversary card for my husband. We will be celebrating 15 years in a few short weeks. Thanks for stopping by!

If I Can Make a Doily....


so can you! Have you seen this fabulous tutorial by Betsy Veldman? She tells you everything you need to stamp your own fabby little doily. Its kind of addicting once you get started. For my doily I used these stamp sets: Spooky Sweets 2 (biggest circle), Wedding Day (inner circle), Guidelines two ( middle portion under and around the button), Borders and Corners circle (scallop), the little design inbetween the scallops is from Waltzingmouse Very Vintage Labels. The little dottie stamp is from Wedding Day. Love making all those stamps work together! I stamped them in dark chocolate on rustic cream paper. The pp are really old My Minds Eye papers. The ribbon was a buck from Tuesday Morning. So what are you waiting for? Go read Betsy's tutorial and give doily making a try!
