Pals Paper Arts: Sketch by Susan Itell

Pals Paper Arts

That’s right folks it’s another lovely Thursday and you know what that means!  It’s card challenge day and I’ve created something simple you can use any designer series paper to make it. 

Pals Paper Arts

This week our fabulous Susan Item came up with a design that can put together by a beginner card maker as well as an advanced crafter.  Take a look at what the team has come up with and let it inspire you at the Pals Paper Arts card challenge.

The Details:

  • Simple Straight Cuts. Doesn’t get any easier than this folks.  I cut the designer series paper in five thin strips and simply spaced them a tiny bit to give them a spread out look.  Nothing hard at all!  Just make sure to keep the design in same order to keep the design together.

Peace, Love & Lots of Hugs,

Oh My Doily!

Gold Foil Doily

My love for creativity goes deeper than handmade greeting cards.  When I retired 1.3 years ago, I know seems like so long ago, I was encouraged to use my graphic designs skills to make custom invitations (and so much more).  Today I bring you a very simple doily card that was inspired by a custom invitation made a few days ago.

Silver Doily

The card I made for a customer used a doily purchased from a restaurant supplier…the tough job was assembling 100 of them.  But the one I made below is with Stampin’ Up! product that you too can make and make it look elegant to boot!

The Details:

  • The Doily.  Doily’s remind me of my paternal grandmother and my mom and they bring back nostalgia for me and that’s why I love them so much.  When I go to a restaurant they often put a cute doily on a plate and you already know what I do right?  I take it so I can make a card out of it.
  • Use Only One!  Your doily’s will go a long way if you use just one.  Cut it in half and adhere on each side.  It’s okay if it doesn’t close all the way.  I used a tiny glue dot on one side to hold it in place.  You can also use a smaller ribbon and string it through the openings…it’s up to you.
  • Measurements.  Black Cardstock: 3″ x 3″, Red cardstock: 2.75″ x 2.75″, Whisper White cardstock: 2.50″ x 2.50″  Doily measures 3″ in circumference.
