Julie Nutting Doll Stamps by Prima

I've had my eye on these stamps for a long while, it seemed everywhere we (Dawn and I) looked they were out. So you can imagine how excited I was when Dawn said she found a site to pre-order them. They arrived yesterday and I've been playing with them almost non-stop, they're so awesomely fabulous!

I stamped a batch of them up for Dawn then went crazy from there. I stamped and embossed mine on sand-colored card stock and then again on printed card stock so I could dress them up. It's been like playing with paper dolls again, I'm so loving it!
I added tiny little bows of ribbon and twine, gems and Swarovsky crystals as well as a touch of Stickles here and there. All of their shoes and headbands have a coating of Glossy Accents.

The little girl in green below: I embossed her outfit with black embossing powder, twice, then ran one of them through my die cutter inside a dotted-swiss embossing folder. I used just the sleeves and lower portion of the dress because I didn't like what the dots did to the neckline. I'm going to have to remember to use my embossing folders more often, I really like the results.
Each stamp is about 8-inches in length, which makes it challenging to use on cards, but I love a good challenge.

If you own these stamps I hope you'll leave a comment with a link to what you've done with them. I can't wait to make more!

    1. Thank you, Patricia! You almost can't mess these up, just stamping them is all one needs to do to make something fabulous. And they're inexpensive for the size they are, unlike so many stamps out there. P.S. I'm enjoying browsing your blog, it's wonderful!

    1. I'm so jealous, how fun! I would love to see something you've made. I'm working on a post about meeting her last weekend. I admit, I fan-girled.
