Mr Cardmaker Gets His Girly On

Oh, Oozak, the things I DO for you!  (No, you will NOT have to suffer me in a push-up bra and sling-back heels. You deserve so much better than that horror show.)

This month were doing a "Anything goes with GIRLY" challenge at the Oozak.com blog.  I decided to go with a sweet little charm card, using some Stampin' Up cardstocks, and a Crate Paper 6x6 pad.

It looks like this--


I am big on doilies on "fancy" cards, and I just went to buy more of this tiny size at my local Wilton distributor, and they CHANGED the design!!  And, not for the better!!!  I just don't know what I'm going to do....unless someone out there has a set of doily dies they are willing to part with at a reasonable cost!

These charm cards are a hoot to create!  You just find all kinds of fun elements, many of which were just hanging around my craft table, and line them up on a piece or two of cording.  My tags are right for my paper pad, the star and heart were hanging about, and the leaves were a left over from a previous project.  I made the flower. 

Be sure to check out the Oozak design team's cards, and for REALS, check out the stuff on the website.  Bargains GALORE!!  Inkpads, Copics, Paper pads.....so much at such good prices!

Thanks for stopping by!
All Best-
Richard

  9. LOL! Push up bra and heels... You crack me up! This is such a wonderful collection of bits and pieces! Perfectly girly!!

    If Wilton changed the style, you might want to keep an eye out at the craft stores that carry cake supplies. You may just find some in the clearance bins!!

  10. Oh how eclectic! Love the bits and pieces look here. Hopefully you can find another source for the doilies. I have two doily dies (because I didn't just learn the first time) and they are a big PAIN to use. All those little pieces that don't fall away have to be punched out by someone!
