Paper Dolls

Hi Everyone,

Last month PTI introduced a new series of paper dolls which you store in 4" x 5" metal containers. I bought the stamp set, but then I realized that the dolls are too small for my grandchildren, who are 2 and 4. So I decided to use the same concept using larger dolls.

So I dug through my stamps and came up with some that could make a scene. I stamped and colored the dolls, and then placed them on some adhesive magnetic material. If I had a die, then it was very easy to cut out the magnetic material. If not, then I tried to use my Scan N Cut, but not too happy with the way it turned out. I could be more persistent, but also, just doing a rough cut out is also acceptable.

I divided the dolls between two containers, with the playground scene for the younger girl, and the picnic girl and the spring rain girls for the older girl. There are more girls that I can create and color differently. Also, I am loving that Skater Girl from Avery Elle and Melody from SSS.

Brushed Blooms

Hi Everyone,

I made this card for the PTI Make it Monday event. I used the Brushed Blooms stamp set. The purpose was to do some ink blending on the background, and then superimpose some additional color using a stencil. It turns out very interesting looking.


Enjoy!
