I love doilies. Which is weird because I don't consider myself a doily-type of girl. Although I don't really know what that type would be. I am always tempted by the medallion and doily stamps that are so popular right now. But I dug around my older stash of stamps and found a set from Close To My Heart called Endless Love. And it had just the stamp I wanted!
It's not really a doily, but it's a big circle with added stuff around it. Which I think IS the scientific term for a doily. I stamped it about 3/4 of the way on my white cardstock, then added that to a purple cardstock base. A few strategically places gems, some yellow cardstock, 2buttons, and a Papertrey Ink sentiment and my card was finished. Oh wait, and some baker's twine!!
It's been a long time since I used this set! I am so glad I found it, I love that big round fancy stamp. This stamp set is going on top of my stamp pile, so I can reach for it again soon. Tell me...do you like doilies? Do you use them? What's your favorite doily/medallion stamp set (if you have one)??
Thanks for stopping by today!

What a great card. I don't think of myself as a doily girl either. I'm more clean lines and graphic. But I bought the PTI doily set when it was released because some of those images reminded me of my old spirograph.
What a cute card! I love the stamp and how you did it 3/4 on the card and added the rhinestones! I like doilies, but don't use them. I'm kinda behind the times though, so when they start to lose there popularity I'll start using them! Haha!
ah, the scientific term for doily, lol! love the little gems that you used to accent the edges of your doily stamp :)
Gorgeous doily! I'm a big fan of all kinds of doilies right now. :)
I think that is how websters defines doily too!!
I too am a big doily fan. It was one of the first cuts I bought for the cameo! It was a must to me...but I have yet to actually use it :)
Great card Mara! I adore the gems and the twine.
Awesome card Mara! I love doilies , just haven't found the right one to buy yet!! Love what you did with your stamp, and the added gems! Awesome!
I love the doily... cute but not too frilly, KWIM?
I don't own any doily stamps... I have circles, but nothing that fancy. It's such a CUTE set! The purple and yellow is a great color combo! I LOVE IT!
ohhh love how you put it off to the side!!! great card!!!
Big circle with stuff around it ... I love that definition. Adorable.
LOVE it! It is so funny because my Grandma had a doily collection and we used to kind of give her a hard time about it (in a teasing way) but now I totally wish I had her doilies and it makes me sad that I dont know where they went.
