PAPER DOLLS ON CARDS

Hello, Eleanor here.

Since I was old enough to use a pair of scissors, a pair like this:

I've loved cutting out paper dolls, trying hard to cut carefully, and not always succeeding

(that's why my blog is called "Still Cutting Off Tabs").

Some of my favourite stamps are the ancient foam mounted All Night Media sets.

I have 2 sets in particular, designed by Mary Engelbreit., which are of

dress up dollies and accessories. Here is Georgia:

and I also have Ann Estelle.

I enjoy using them to make all purpose girly cards, choosing colours, colouring in, and mixing and matching patterned papers, nothing too complicated, just having fun.

I have to say, though, I don't possess any nice modern colouring pens, just good old fashioned pencil crayons.

Enjoy your day!

Cheerio for now.

I too used to spend hours playing with paper dolls, didn't know stamps existed for them.

Love your cards, real nostalgia trip for me.

Gorgeous, like Debbie I spent hours cutting out paper dolls.
I think it was my Bunty comic that had some free ones in.
The stamps are gorgeous, I think I may need to get my self some, I am doing a Book of Me and they would fit beautifully with some ideas I have planned :)

I love those stamps and love those cards. Another here who loved paper dolls and used to make my own and make up little stories with them. This is such a gorgeous post.
