Day 1 - Waltzingmouse SoAP!

Welcome to Day 1 of the WMS DT Stamp of Approval Parade (SoAP)!  For the next 3 days the DT will be sharing with you more ways to use the May Release WMS stamps -  Say it Loud, Join Us, Gingham + Company, Dainty Doilies - Large and Dainty Doilies 2 - Small and on June 4th we'll be highlighting an older stamp set!

Today I'm parading the Dainty Doilies - Large set. 

I made these fun stars on a stick to decorate my table at my Memorial Day Cookout this past weekend!   I even made star shaped brownies to stand them in! (Yes- they were yummy and, yes, they are gone!)

I white embossed several of the doilie stamps on red and blue card stock and stamped them in blue ink on white card stock.  Then I die cut them using my star Nestability - sponged the edges and added the sentiments 'Party' and "Celebrate" from Free Spirit Sentiments.  I taped them onto the stick and added the wrinkled seam tape.

Here is a close up so you can see the doily stamping more clearly.

I had some left over stamped panels that I had cut too small to fit the star die (whoops!)  so I made cards out of them!!

Click on any pic to see it larger.  I embossed a rectangle Nestability frame on the card then adhered the panels inside the frame using foam tape.  The sentiment 'we had a wonderful time' on my cards is from Join Us.  If it hadn't been my own cookout - I would send one of these cards to the host and hostess to thank them for inviting me!! LOL!!

Here's a clean and simple card I made just by layering some doily stampings!  

First I embossed the Lacey Circle Nestability on the card -  then I stamped 3 doilies in 3 colors (2", 1" and 1/2") and punched them out layering them inside the embossed framing with foam tape.  I added a tiny gem in the center of the smallest stamping.  An easy peasy card that packs a punch don't you think?!
I hope you'll continue viewing the parade on these Design Team members blogs and please stop by tomorrow for Day 2 of our parade!!
