DOILY HAPPY

Every once in awhile I get an out-of-the-box idea. I'm never sure where exactly it comes from, but when it appears, I am grateful and grab it with both hands.

I had been shuffling through some of my supplies some time back, and came across these lovely creamy doilies that I hadn't set eyes on recently. Aha! Let's make them go further than just a single use doily. Let's cut one into quarters! 

Since the doilies were symmetrical, this was very simple to do. Thus, each of the corners of this card are nicely decorative.

SUPPLIES:

Coastal Cabana cardstock

Vanilla cardstock

Beautifully Happy stamp set

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Stampin' Blends in: Light and Dark Pool Party and Light and Dark Granny Apple Green

Big Shot

Ovals dies

Vanilla doilies

Gold swirl embellishments

Dimensionals

INSTRUCTIONS:

Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of vanilla cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder.

To this card base, add a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock.

Cut a vanilla paper oily in exact fourths. Add each of these doily pieces to the corners of the Coastal Cabana layer.

Use an oval die that measures 3" x 4" and cut an oval from vanilla cardstock.

In Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp a flower stalk onto the creamy oval. Color the flowers and leaves as you wish. 

Add a shiny gold embellishment to the center of the large open flower.

Use dimensionals to add the oval to the card. It should fit perfectly within the space left by the doily quarters.

PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator -- after 19 years! -- but I will continue to refer to some of the products I use in my blog cards by name. Obviously after 19 years, I have a TON of SU product, and will continue to use it.

Also, some of the areas on my blog are not correct, what with me no longer being a Demonstrator. Please ignore that. I don't know how to fix it. My apologies.
