Flying Unicorns -Kit of the Month May -Julie Nutting Doll Tag



April Showers have brought more than May Flowers! We have an abundance of passion in our May Kit for your creative pleasure! Without further adieu Your Art. Your Passion. Our May2014 Kit of the month!

This month  features Prima's Cartographer Collection which I used to create my exotic  "Taylor" doll.  The doll stamp is new from Prima and Julie Nutting's doll stamp line.  I wanted Taylor to have a little exotic flair just like the kit. 



Do not delay - Your Passion, Your Art May 2014 kit awaits!   Here are some close ups of my tag.
As I said, I used Taylor from Julie Nutting and Prima.   You can grab Taylor here.

She is decorated with some wood icons from the Cartographer collection as well as brads and ATC cards from the collection too.  I did feel Taylor needed some Parisian romance. 






This month, I am running a challenge at the Flying Unicorns featuring  a month of Paper Dolls.  

Use your Prima -Julie Nutting Doll Stamps, Bloom Girl Stamps or any other Dolls you may want to use.  

Stamp them, paint them, ink them, color them, cut them , journal them, tag them, card them, draw them, dress them....then ENTER them here.

Prima Mothers Day Easy and Quick Gift Idea



 Prima Gift Card-Plant Pick - Super Quick and easy
(featured on the Prima blog here)

This project is not meant to be complex or drop dead stunning.  It is meant for the occasional crafter in need of a fast "extra" gift for mom or other occasion. 
This is a super quick gift for anyone to make as Mother's Day approaches. My mother enjoys the cards I make, but cards get placed in a drawer all too quickly.  I wanted to create something that can be displayed  longer than a card to remind mom how much she means.  This fun plant/flower pick is something that mom can show off with the plant.  Even better?  It doubles as a gift card holder so mom can treat herself to something special as well. 

I used some font  from this site - as a bit of whimsy to my photos of the project.   




Plus some bonus tips!  
 I painted the resin bumble bee with yellow acrylic paint and swiped it off before it dried.  And I did NOT remove the lace doily sticker from the acrylic backing.  I simply cut around it  and glued it to my ATC card.  This gives it strength and now can be used on a dimensional project. 

The photos below show how this can double as a gift card!
