Welcome to the Grand Uni & Dolls bloghop party!
If you have come from Robbie's blog then you are in the right place. If not then begin from the beginning at www.flyingunicornblog.com, because you do not want to miss a thing!
The Mayor of the Unicorns ( Alda Stevens) has declared this day to be "Julie Nutting Day" and she has given Julie the key to the Unicorns heart...which just happens to be adorable Doll Stamps!
Let's start this hoedown!
Cowgirl Tag
I have an extra bonus! You can scroll to the end of this post and find some detailed step by step instructions. I placed it at the end for the sake of those that are excited about the hop and want to get right to the fun. No sense boring some of you. I say giddyup!
This tag was created using the wonderful new collection by FabSraps - Gentleman's Club. I really loved the image of the horse on the Thoroughbred paper piece. It was perfect for Becky!
My tip: I love to give the dresses a little extra ruffle and fullness by stamping a few times and tucking layers under the top skirt. I also add a little popdot or dimensional tape for extra dimension.

1.
Background Tag Preparation:
2.
Start with FabScraps
Gentleman’s Club Collection – Gentleman’s Club paper C66004 and cut strip approx 3.5in x9in to form base of tag.
3.
Cut small piece of FabScraps Gentleman’s Club – Airships paper
C66003 to use as bottom decorative
edge. Punch with decorative edge punch
and attach to tag.
4.
Cover tag with lace. You may need to use two pieces to overlap –
that’s just fine. Glue in place.
5.
Cut large horse graphic from
FabScraps Gentleman’s Collection Thoroughbred C66007. Glue a small piece of cardboard or
dimensional tape to the horse head so that just the head has a little
dimension.
6.
Glue horse to tag – his head will
stick off the tag. This is also good.
7.
Add lace and trim to the bottom of
the tag as desired.
8.
Doll Stamp Preparation:
9.
Select cardstock for doll body and stamp the
entire doll figure. Using dark ink – preferably black.
10.
Cut out stamped image
to use as a base. Her clothing gets glued to this base.
11.
I create the doll
using a series of stamps and cut out each piece. The hair will be stamped onto either colored
cardstock or colored with ink, paint or markers.
12.
Stamp skirt and shirt and cut from pink
cardstock. Stamp and cut three pieces of
skirt to layer .
13.
Glue two pieces of the
skirt side by side on the doll stamp.
This makes a fuller skirt. Then
add the last skirt piece on top with a piece of dimension tape or cardboard
underneath.
14.
Boots and hat are
stamped using FabScraps Gentleman’s Club paper C66004 and Horsing Around paper
C66008 – accent with pink gem stones and pink cardstock.
15.
Vest is made from
FabScraps Gentleman’s Club Collection –
Airships C66003. Accent with trim and
gems.
16.
Wind up approx 18in
jute to use as a lasso leaving a little to wrap around doll as if she is
holding it. .
17.
Glue both lasso and
doll tag in place.
18.
Embellishing and Finishing Touches:
19.
Using FabScraps
Gentleman’s Club –Gentleman’s Picture ST66002 , take the horse circle sticker
and back with cardstock. This gives the
sticker some richer color. Glue to
bottom of tag.
20.
Decorate with flowers,
lace trim and brads as desired.
21.
You can also attach
some folded cardstock on the back as a card.

seriously amazing tags and that cowgirl one...you rocked it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Cowgirl one is Amazing!! Love them both but she takes my heart! Seriously gorgeous tags!!!
ReplyDeleteYour tags are gorgeous! Being a Texas girl, I have to say that I'm a tiny bit partial to the Texas one! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are both so beautiful, Jen! I can't believe how the horse looks like it was made for the doll stamp! I grew up in the country so I love to camp, hike, etc. but my heart is in the city with all the lights!
ReplyDeleteYour tags are gorgeous!!!! I especially LOVE the one with the horse! I'm a city slicker currently, but as a little girl I spent my summers in the country with my grandparents so I'm a country girl at heart! Love the sounds, smells, and feel of the country especially at night!
ReplyDeleteSensational! I love the horses on Becky's tag, and also the bling on her boots - she's a bit of a fancy cowgirl!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Tag my dear
ReplyDeleteI think I am a beach girl
LOL
xoxo
Leila
I adore your Tags Jen!
ReplyDeleteI love both tags! I tend to gravitate towards be achy colors but am married to a country boy so I like cowgirl style too.
ReplyDeleteI just love a good blog hop because I get to follow more and more talented designers. I'm a country girl who dreams of being a beachy girl more often than the occasional vacation.
ReplyDeleteGosh, your tags are seriously breathtaking! You always rock the Julie Nutting stamps!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm most of all a beach person :)
Holy cannoli---!Those are gorgeous!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a country gal; after growing up in a big city, we moved to the country, and have never looked back. So much more peaceful!
What wonderful tags! LOVE the cowgirl one!!! I'm a mix between them all. I really enjoy the city (but not too big of a city) and the 'small' city that i live in just happens to be next to the ocean, so of course i enjoy the beach on a regular basis. And, once in a while, I go visit my Mom who lives in the country and i love the quiet feel of it. So you could say that i'm a city-beach-country girl! :P
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your blog! I love your everyday beautiful tag! I love the beach!!! This is an excellent blog hop! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBoth your tags are beautiful. Love all the details and complete instructions! Love the beach, so I'd probably lean that way! Thanks!
ReplyDeletelove to be at water's edge, nature always calls my name. Gorgeous tags, you rock the dolls...
ReplyDeleteLove your tags, love your tute; LOVE the boots & rhinestones!
ReplyDeleteAlways love your work Jen, these tags are fantastic! Definite beachy girl here, that's why I left cold Scotland and now live in beautiful Perth, Australia :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning what I see in your blog from now in I am going to follow your blog
ReplyDeleteJen I just LOVE these! The cowgirl is my FAVE!!!! I am so not a city slicker..but I do love the greenery and peace of the countryside!
ReplyDeleteOh these are both adorable! Your creations are always stunning! I love where I live now--small town, on the lake, and an hour from 3 major cities (to the west, east, and south). Perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteBeach girl all the way
ReplyDeleteI am a
ReplyDeletecity girl, but I love both tagz. I plan to retire and become a caribbean, beachy girl.
Gorgeous tags...I love the cowgirl one!!
ReplyDeleteLove these tags! I grew up in the country so I do love it, but I can't be without high speed internet and a store 2 minutes away. I have to say I am a city girl.
ReplyDeleteLove both of your tags. I'm a country girl
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a country person. Beautiful tags!
ReplyDeleteI loved your work. The instructions are great!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a small town but moved to a Capital when I got married. I just love big cities. Nowadays I live near the sea, but still in a very big city. I'm not a fan of small cities.
Love these tags! Beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration! I'm a Beach person!
ReplyDeletelove the cowgirl it is the next doll i want to get being from texas and all
ReplyDeleteThese tags are amazing. I am such a beach person living at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains - LOL
ReplyDeletethose are darling. I am a country girl for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm a country girl all the way! Loving the dolls!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little bit of both. Love your tags :)
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome Jen! Totally love the cowgirl, and those dies are to hip check for! I guess I am a combo country/other as I am a mountain girl! I am a follower.Thanks for sharing your ideas and instructions and a cance to win! Janelle
ReplyDeleteFollowing Jen! I am most definitely a city girl living in the country.
ReplyDeleteI'm a small town girl who loves to visit the city and the country! Your tags are super cute. I wouldn't have been able to pick between them either!!
ReplyDeleteI saw your tags on FB and simply loved the the cow girl one. I am from Texas after all!!

LOVE your doll tags!!! I think I am the country girl. LOVE your work, and thanks for the instructions too.
ReplyDeleteI was born in the country and was raised on a little farm in Nebraska, so I am a country girl. I love both of your tags. I am a new follower of your blog and look forward to seeing more of your creations. :-) BJL
ReplyDeleteVery awesome tags.
ReplyDeleteI am so beachy, but live out in the county and love the fact I am not in the city. So I guess I am a beachy county gal!!!
follow via google+.
Love the country gal tag and the city gal is so chic. The doll stamps and prima dies are so fun and love that yummy lace background.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tags and each so different. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a country girl but love city amenities. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteBoth tags are beautiful, i am now a follower and very excited to see all the creations. i consider myself a city girl.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Jen both cards are adorable I am a country girl even though I live in a small city my heart belongs in the country
ReplyDeleteLove! Always amazing work....already a follower. I'd say I am not a city girl but could be a beach or country girl. Instead I live in an overcrowded suburb of a decent size city. Not sure what it makes me but I dream of my perfect location while I'm waiting to win the lottery :D.
ReplyDeletePositively gorgeous both of them ... I am so in love with the country girl and the horse positively magnificent!
ReplyDeleteI love, love the country girl tag and its combination of sweet and sassy! And that's coming from a city girl, lol.
ReplyDeleteExcited to be a new follower and see your lovely tags. I love them both but really love the colors of the city girl...funny because I am such a country girl.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags since i am a new follower I am excited to see more. I would consider myself more of a beach girl even though I live in the desert. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm so happy to meet you! I'm a new follower of yours. I adore both of your tags they're so precious! I'm a city living girl with a big ole country heart! Have a lovely and creative evening!
ReplyDeleteHugs and many blessings...
Bobbi Ann
I love your tags!! I am definitely a beachy sort of gal ... although I don't live close to the beach any more and I miss it so much. There is something about the coast that is so special and soul healing and a lot of my greatest memories are associated with the beach.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer! I'm now following your blog (but have been a fan for years)! I'm a Beach kind of girl (although I live in Pittsburgh and am not close to the beach)! I love to be on the beach, but never go into the Ocean,lol! My favorite thing to do is swim in a pool that is located on the Ocean!!!!!! I grew up in the big city, but am more of a suburb kind of girl now!
ReplyDeleteHi,i am so in joying this hop :) I live in Auckland (city) but was raised in the country, I am defiantly a country girl / beach , Here in New Zealand you are never far from the sea,.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a country kind of girl (but not into horses!) I live in a rural area and love the peace & quiet, my chooks & ducks, and the native wildlife. Both of your tags are gorgeous... but if I had to choose a favourite I'd lean towards the city one :)
I'm a follower now! Beautiful tags! Love the country girl. I love country with a touch of shabby!
ReplyDeleteLove both the tags....adorable ! Hummmm, I have become a counrty person since our move to Texas. Not really cowboyish but love being away and having willdlife around, we have been here ten years and we are now losing the countyness so guess it is time to move on. Darn progress !!!!!
