Introducing Dimensional Doilies Blog Hop/ Amazing Paper Grace

 

Things are not always what they appear!  When you look at this die set, you may be hard-pressed to see what it becomes but that's why we're here - bring on the inspiration!  We're so tickled to be introducing a new and unique take on doilies.  Please welcome the Dimensional Doilies Collection.  Hop through with all of the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team to get a small taste of inspiration as well as see how each has used these new motifs!

Inspiration for Dimensional Doilies
Some of the first dies ever to hit the market were doilies.  They gave you a symmetrical base to put your card elements on and they simply frame a creation and draw your eye inward.  By now you probably have many flavors of doilies in your stash.  These doilies are different. 

With one pass of the die, three identical motifs are created.  These motifs have perforations and slits on each edge.  When the perforations are folded and the slits are intersected, it creates a round doily of 6 to nine pieces that has a secondary filigree layer.  The texture, dimension and pure femininity they add to a card front is gorgeous.


My Project For Today - - - Using doilies to create flowers!
I'm tickled to introduce the S4-1060 Heart Melange Doily die-set that I have used to create a large dimensional flower as a topper and around the body of this wedding pillow-box!! There are lots of great Pillow-Box Tutorials on YouTube! Here's a quick one.

 

S4-1060 Heart Melange Doily

NEXT, I made a card using the doily with thin pattern paper for a dainty floral background. I die-cut Heart Melange several times and layered the hearts around the Filigree Drop In Circlet Doily.  These papers are very thin as it is actually wrapping paper so the ends flare up in lovely shapes  for flowers.  I've also used the same paper for the background and alternated with navy blue cardstock layers. The center is cut from metallic silver cardstock using the Candlewick Circles Etched Dies, and layered for added dimension.  I used the  Die D-Lites Petite Double Bow die cut pieces as a panel holding the metal "Congratulations" word. The bow is held together by a matching blue pearl and metal brad. I've anchored the sentiment panel on opposite side with cuts from the same bow, all cut from silver metallic cardstock.
