Uni & Dolls Blog Hop -Julie Nutting Dolls

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!

I have created two tags because I could not decide which tag I liked better - and I had a great time creating them.  I 've got city sweet and country cute

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.

Every Day Beautiful Tag

The base of this tag is Julie Nutting's Tag pad.  The I added some Prima dies (which is part of the grand prize by the way)

The doll is wearing Kasisercraft  Kaleidoscope.  You can see how gorgeous the dies really are.

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.

Prima Bloom Girls Collection by Jamie Dougherty

Prima Bloom Girls -by Jamie Dougherty

Prima introduced a new line of stamps and embellishments by Jamie Dougherty called Bloom Collection.  They are unique and as the name says, I decided to make them bold and colorful.  I made this for CHA and it was a nice contrast for the winter chill since CHA is in January. 

I was inspired to make mine bright and flowery - my idea of a Hawaiian Girl. 

You can color the stamps using a variety of inks, mists, paints with a paintbrush and a little water.

Flying Unicorn June Card

 Created using the  Flying Unicorns June's 2014 Your Passion. Your Art. featuring the long awaited release of the newest collection from Riddersholm Designs Tailgate Marked !

The Riddersholm papers are quite unique in my opinion.  
They are strong yet have delicate nuances like the butterflies. 

I am diggin cards lately.  It was only about a years ago that I swore off making cards.  BUT they are pretty useful and don't take up as much space as a layout does.  Interesting that space should be such a factor in what I am starting to create. 

Yes, it took a lot of practice and I am still working out the awkwardness in transitioning from a canvas size of 12x12 to 5inches.  

Thanks for  stopping.  All supplies for this card were from the June kit form Flying Unicorns.

12.   Embellishing and Finishing Touches:

13.   Glue some burlap to the page near the ripped window.  And a little below the window.  

14.   Tuck in some of the punched edges in white cardstock and a little in soft pink here and there about the page as desired.
