New Julie Nutting Stamps from Prima!

This is one of the new Prima Stamps from Julie Nutting!  Although this stamp at first glance is a Halloween stamp, if you think a little outside the box, it is perfect for a masquerade theme or prom, etc.  The options are endless.  Leave the mask off and this stamp works for any formal affair!

I chose to embrace the masquerade idea for this tag.  I loved how the new Prima Rossibelle collection looked with this theme!

You can see that I added lots of dimension to my tag.  Also, check out the new Rossibelle trim!!  It added a beautiful finishing touch to my tag!

It's Prima Day

 

What a great day it is today!  It's Prima Day!!  So many fun things going on today in the Prima World!  If you didn't start at the Prima Blog, be sure to get over there to see work from the design team and hear all about everything Prima!

I wanted to share a tag that I made.  As you can see, it's attached to a bow.  There is a reason for that!  Instead of a paper tag, I decided to make a tag that would compliment a package but also be a little extra gift!  So, this tag will come right off the package, already has a hook and is ready to be added to your Christmas tree as an ornament.

 

I started with some of the beautiful Prima Metal for a base and punched it up by adding some equally beautiful Relics and Artifacts.  I used the new Chrome Color Bloom to add color to the Relics and Artifacts Pendants.  It worked perfectly!

I kept it all in the silver and white family by adding white flowers and lots of silver micro beads.  A few more metal pieces and a pretty bow and this one is ready to hang on the tree or even add to another home decor piece.

Hope you are enjoying Prima Day as much as we are!  Be sure to head back to the Prima Blog to get links to all the other designers blogs!

Julie Nutting Doll Stamps

I am such a huge fan of Julie Nutting Girls.  Quite a while ago, I purchased her book Collage Couture and was instantly caught up in how she does her terrific girls!  I experimented with canvas and making my own girls, which I loved!  I have chipboard girls from Leaky Shed Studio that I've played with and...

Now, with the Prima Stamps that she has designed, it is so easy to play with Julie's girls!  If you don't draw, you are going to especially LOVE these!  I swear, it's like paper dolls for grown-ups!  SUCH fun and I can tell you that I'm already addicted!  I'm going to have to go back and try to track down the ones that I don't have!

Here is my first attempt using the stamps.  This little girl is so sassy and fun, so I wanted to give her some sassy, yet sweet clothes.  I used Heidi Swap Sugar Chic collection to dress her and decorate the tag.

 

In addiction to her body, all her clothes are cut out of patterned papers and layered.  The trick is to just keep stamping for the layers, keep fussy cutting and keep layering.

 In the above photo, you can see that I did the skirt in multiple layers to make it look more ruffled.  It takes a little extra time, but I love how it turned out!

 Now, I'm from TEXAS!  So, of course, the western girl had to make it's way into my collection!  Could she be any cuter?  It's rodeo time in Texas so the timing is perfect to play with this one, too!  

Being from Texas and being a Rodeo Girl, doesn't mean that you don't like bling and girly things.  The sticker from Bo Bunny's Prairie Chic collection went perfectly with this girl.  I couldn't resist using it for this tag.

I put this one together the same way that I did the first one.  Lots of layers for her precious outfit.  For the skirt, since I layered it again, I was able to tuck a strip of bling under the layers. 

To finish her, I added lots more Prairie Chic embellishments and of course, so flowers!

  

See, paper dolls for grown-ups!  So fun!  

I can't wait to make some more!
