​Beliw are are some of the cards I have made for them

tags, prima dolltags

Making door tags, gift tags or decorative tags are such a great way to create and display your creativity. Wonderful to give away to special people you know. The Julie Nuting stamps and dies are a fantastic basis to start with use diecuts from other brands to create your own style.

Paper doll clothes

You can design and make paper doll clothes by cutting shapes on glossy paper from magazines.  Depending on the paper doll (patterns on the Internet) size the clothes and cut them out with blips so that you can fold them on to the doll.  The great thing about it is that you can cut out many till you get your design right because you are using an old magazine for material.  Of course you can buy scrapbook paper if you want a high quality, or use up paper from your collections.
