introducing dress up dolls: birthday...

Good Tuesday Morning!  It's the first day of Papertrey Ink's January release, so it's bound to be a great day, right?  Today I get to introduce you to a new stamp set called Dress Up Dolls:  Birthday.  It coordinates with the original Dress Up Dolls:  Basics stamp set, but can easily be used alone, as I've shown here in my first card.

I've used the darling balloons and gift images from this Dress Up Dolls:  Birthday stamp set, along with a sentiment.  I used the Shape Up Series:  Cupcake die to create my card, using the darling new What the Doodle:  Paisley stamp set in the background.  The tiny sprinkles stamped along with the paisleys are from the new Splits:  Hello There stamp set.

I stamped my sentiment on a die cut Tremendous Tag and tied it to some polka dot tulle to finish.  I chose to stamp in Hibiscus Burst, Melon Berry, Green Parakeet, Aqua Mist, and Summer Sunrise.

My next card uses the girl image from the Dress Up Dolls:  Basics stamp set and I've framed her face using the Limitless Layers:  Hearts Stitches and 2 1/4" Hearts dies.

I paper-pieced my balloons once again and added confetti, sentiment, noise maker and hat from the Dress Up Dolls:  Birthday stamp set.

I made this last card with my little nephew Granty in mind :)....he is precious and adorable and sweet as can be, and the little faces in Dress Up Dolls:  Basics remind me of him.  My mom just shared a picture of him with me showing off his smile after just losing his first tooth :).

I love creating cards for the little guys once in a while, so this one goes out to them.  I stamped faces around the outside edges of my Kraft cardstock base in Dark Cocoa ink.  I then added a party hat, cake, sentiment, and streamers to bring in color and dimension.  


Thanks for your visit and I'll be back with more soon!

Too, too cute. I love all of it, but the card with the little face peeking through the heart is so sweet. I love the black dotted paper used at the bottom. You rock, Melissa.
