Free Paper Dolls Template

These paper dolls were created by Melanie Montes de Oca and are featured on Mischelle's Savvy Projects Blog. Melanie even used on of The Angel Company clamshell boxes to create a storage box for the paper dolls. (The link for the free paper doll printable is at the end of this post.)

Here are a couple of suggestions to try:

• Print the doll's clothes onto your favorite TAC™ Cardstock Paper Collection. Just cut down any collection to 8 1/2 x 11 and feed it into your printer.
• Embellish the dolls with buttons, brads, flowers and more!
• Use Skintone Color Pencils to create a variety of dolls.

Decorative Circle Medallion

When I saw the TLC193 Decorative Circle Medallion Technique Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers it reminded me of how I used to make snowflakes by cutting into a folded circle shape. I didn't have any corner punches so I just used a tulip punch that I had hanging around. The card was kind of boring so I used stickles to jazz it up. I'll have to try some other punches to see if I can get a more interesting pattern.

Created with The Angel Company products:

Ornamental Snowflakes
Trendy Greetings
Scallop Circle Punch
Stickles

I used a tulip punch that I had in my punch drawer, but you can try any hand punch for a decorative effect. Visit Splitcoast Stampers to view the Decorative Circle Medallion Technique.

Winter Snowman Card

Here's my attempt at making a winter themed card with some different colors than what I am accustomed to using. You can see it very well in the scan, but I used white fun flock to give the snowmen a bit of texture.

Supplies:

Winter Tags
LillyAnna Patterned Paper
LillyAnna Cardstock
PremiumWhite Cardstock
PrismacolorPencils
Icicle Stickles
White Fun Flock
Copic Markers: YG03, B34, RV11 & Ribbon colored with YG03 (non TAC items)

Penguin Christmas Notebook

My daughter keeps coming into my room to see what I'm up to and she always asks, "Who are those for, Mom?" I tell her that they aren't for her and she leaves the room disappointed. I decided to make something especially for her so I gave her this notebook when she woke up. She's happy that the pencil is attached (I had to use my glue gun to make sure the ribbon didn't come off the pencil) and especially likes the puffy Liquid Applique on the penguin's hat.

Supplies:

Perky Penguins stamp set (currently a Level B TAC Hostess Set- now in Spring 2007 Catalog)
Merry Wishes Paper Collection
Icicle Stickles
Noir Palette Ink
PrismaColor Pencils
White Liquid Applique
White mulberry paper (layered at the bottom for "snow")
Green cardstock (from my scrap bin)
Notebook (comes in a pack of 4 from the dollar store)
Pencil (I used wire cutters to cut this one to size)
Snowflake button
3/8" Ribbon
