How to Make a Doily with Sparkle!

Today is the first day of the New Weekly Deals. One of the best dies is part of it – the Paper Doily Sizzlits L die. So cute. In today’s project I show how to make a doily with sparkle!

Card base is Basic Gray, with a layer of Whisper White and a layer of Strawberry Slush on top. I randomly stamped Delicate Doilies all over the pink layer.

I ran Whisper White card stock through the Big Shot with the Paper Doily Sizzlits L die. I carefully glued it to the card base with my 2-Way Glue.

The sentiment is from Sweet Essentials. I just love the clear font of this set! I punched some circular shapes and attached them at the end. This grouping of deep color draws your eye to the sentiment!

What about the sparkle? Take a closer look at the next photo.

There are 2 Rhinestone Basic Jewels – one is in the center of the doily and the other is in the center of the piece by the sentiment. Then a bunch of Dazzling diamonds Stampin’ Glitter adds the finishing touch.

While many would expect a doily die to be old-fashioned and dull, this card shows that it can be something quite different!

Here are my Top 3 Tips for making this card:

1. Add a small circle of Basic Gray behind the center of the doily. I makes stand out.
2. To keep your work area clean, go all gluing on a Silicone Craft Sheet. The adhesive won’t stick to it, so it can’t find its way to your project, where it’s not wanted!
3. Add the glitter to your card after it’s completely assembled. Otherwise, it gets in the way of the adhesive and your pieces will not stick together.

So, take advantage of the New Weekly Deals. Make a Doily with Sparkle, too!
