Hi Dreamers!

How is your weekend going?  Going great here.  We are finally having Spring weather here in Michigan.  I was able to open the windows for the first time on Thursday.  I sent off all my charity cards on Friday!  I am still working on a card order though.  But, today, I want to share two more of the Doll Border (Lost Coast Designs) cards.  Take a peek at the group photo.  (See the post of the other two here.)

CS: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, and Blush Blossom --Stampin' Up
Decorative Paper: Ivory Prints - Canvas Corp ( card #1); Lost and Found Blush - My Mind's Eye (card #2)

  • Stamp the Doll Border on Very Vanilla CS and trim to size
  • Layer stamped Dolls with Black CS

Pretty little Doll Border Stamp

Note: The Lost Coast Design/Stencil Blog Hop winner is PK Sews!!  Congrats!!  Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit!! 


Hello Dreamers,

Cutesy is as cutesy does...... Today's cards are very cutesy.  I started stamping this Doll Border stamp from Lost Coast Designs and thought it was so cute I just kept stamping and stamping....like I usually do.  LOL  I thought it had a really 1930's vibe.  So, I paired it with decorative papers that looked 30ish to me.   I made a bunch of these cards (multiples of each design).  I will share two of them with you today and the other two later.  





Materials: 
Ink:Jet Black Archival
CS: Blush Blossom (Stampin' Up)
Decorative Paper:  Lovely and Grace, Cherish Pads from Authentique
Ribbons




Instructions:
  • Stamp the border stamp on Blush Blossom CS with Black ink.  This stamp is 8" inches long and 2 inches high.   Cut the stamping to the desired size
  • Cover the card with decorative papers
  • Add the Dolls-On card one, I cut narrow slivers of brown DP for a border to the Doll strip
  • On card two- cut the stamping into a square and layer with two papers.  
  • Add bows and sentiment

 This is such a fun stamp!  I really had fun with this one!   Check back for the other two Doll Border cards!  I hope you have a great weekend.  Tomorrow, I am going to an all day card making event!!  Doesn't that sound awful??  NOT!!  Should be lots of fun.  See you soon.  Love ya
