Hello Doily!
Do you remember when doilies were all the rage in paper craft land? What started as something that was classified as “shabby chic” in style quickly drifted and those of us who can’t pull off that style to save their life I tried my hand at incorporating them into my cards. At times I was successful, then there were other times I failed at it completely. While doing a purge of supplies and some cleaning, I came across my stash of doilies and decided to give them a whirl again. I truly do love how they look on cards….when they’re done right.
My card today is fairly simplistic, but it’s hard to make anything fussy when I use the Fresh Cut Florals set and dies. I think they’re so beautiful on their own, I try not to let anything take away from their beauty. I had originally created this card and it didn’t have the doily, but it was lacking something and then voila!
For those new to my site, one of my favorite things to do is use sequins and add rhinestones or pearls on top of it. It’s double the bling without being over the top. SWOON!
As many of you know, I’m prepping for the launch of my shop in these next few weeks. I’m getting the last of the products that will be in the shop opening this week, I just confirmed proofs for my tags and business cards and my packaging stickers just arrived. It’s all so exciting and completely nerve wrecking at the same time! As soon as everything arrives, I’ll be working overtime to get my shop up and running. Eeeek!
That’s going to wrap up this post. If you have guesses as to what will be in my shop, I’d love to hear them. Some of you have (correctly) guessed and then others are very close. Let’s just say I’m starting SMALL and sticking with items that are very ME. *wink*
This is a very beautiful card. I am looking forward to seeing your shop!
This is so fresh and pretty Paulina and your doily looks perfect!
Beautiful! Love it.
Brilliant card, Paulina! I love the colors, the beautiful flowers and that gorgeous doily! I really love the look of it! :) I can’t wait to see the goodies that you will be selling in your store!
Beautiful Card Paulina! Did you cut that stamped frame out by hand or do they have a die for it? I love it! Will you be selling sequins??!!
Stephanie, yes, I cut it by hand. It’s actually super easy to cut- though how amazing would a die in this shape be?!
Oh boy, hope you’re starting another doily trend…if this card is any example, they’ll be a big hit. So pretty and doily just sets it off. Happy for you and your exciting new venture. Surely something pink and/or shiny will be included.
This is such a GORGEOUS creation, Paulina! You’ve incorporated the doily perfectly into your design and as always your color combo is STUNNING!!! I can’t wait to see what you’ll be carrying in your new shop!!! Soooo excited for you as you begin this new adventure!!!! Best wishes, my friend!!!!
I see you selling sequins, sparkly and fun just like you! Love the way you added the doily, it looks perfect!
Beautiful! Fabulous! One of my most favorite stamp/die sets! Your card is stunning! I can’t wait to start shopping on your site! I’m guessing SEQUINS!! Tons of them…am I right? I’m going to pm you on Facebook, I’ve got a question for you! Love your card, love all your cards.. This one is one of my Favs! Thanks Paulina!
Beautifully done! I can’t wait to see what’s in your shop. I’ve always loved your taste in products. I’m so excited for you!
Beautiful card Paulina!!! Love the colors together and I love doilies on cards too! AND you and I both are in the same process… with shops =)
