Filed under New Products, Paper Dolls/Theatres, Rubber Stamps, Swaps

Beautiful Frida Kahlo paper doll by Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella using the new Pink Metal Roses (and lots of other products… see the metal roses link for the full list).

It’s a big newsletter with info on a new swap & lots of new products… so get a fresh cup of caffeine and have a seat.

Paper Doll Swap
(and a bunch of charms & trims for paper dolls)

Create 6 original Paper Dolls using the new Maya Road People Die-Cut Chipboard Set and receive 6 in return! The dolls will be due to Miz Bella on July 19th. Check the Yahoo Group for swap details.

Two New Collage Sheets
The Doll Parts & Get Dressed Collage Sheets are sized for these chipboard dolls (but can be used to make fun dolls without the chipboard base, too).

Small Chipboard Wings & Cats
Two sets of 4 small, die-cut, heavy chipboard cut-outs. Approx. 2″ x 3″. Some of the wings were used on the Paper Doll by Frieda Oxenham at right (and on Teri’s Paper Doll shown in the sidebar below about the new Design Team Members).

Pink Metal Roses
Gorgeous, with a matte (pearl) finish. 10mm (3/8″) wide. They are lightweight and I’d guess they’re are aluminum. You can easily bend the petals. Shown in Bella’s Frida doll, above left.

Silk Roses
Soft and so-vintage looking. Groups of 3 roses (and leaves) are sewn into/onto a thin net backing. Choose red or pink (6 groups of roses per set). Each set has varied colors (the pink includes peach and a light teaberry; the red has a bright pink and a dark, ruddy red).

4 Faces Rubber Stamp Set
What a bunch of cuties (with expressions from happy to amazed to disgusted)! I imagined them stamped on Easter eggs to make Humpty Dumpty figures. Or maybe for a cloth doll, the sun or the Man in the Moon. Each approx. 1″ wide.

Adhesive-Backed Pearls & Rhinestones
4 sets of pearls and 5 sets of rhinestones (each set with at least 2 colors per set).

Doll Buttons
Tiny, tiny buttons (4mm) in red, pink, blue, yellow, cream or black.

Brass Hand Charms & Spiral Hand Charms
Two styles of charms that could be used for dolls.

Pewter Cowboy Boots & Brass Fans
Each are 3/4″ tall.

Key Charms
Two styles in 3 colors. Both styles are double-sided.

Small Skull Charms
Quite small (about 3/16″ wide). Antique gold-plated cast pewter or antiqued cast pewter (lead free). Used by Bella for one of the earrings for her Frida doll.

But wait, there’s more

Whew! After all those goodies, there’s still a few more to mention.

Fashionista 4-Sheet Paper Set and/or Die-Cut Tags
Four fun 12″ x 12″, double-sided heavy sheets with lots of RED (red stripes, red dots, red florals…). The images include vintage perfume ads, magazine covers, Art Deco flappers, clocks, coins, buttons, cherries, flowers…

Tattered Rose Crackle Paint

Oval & Square Gold Frame Pendants
2 new colors/finishes for the frame pendants (both with matching paper punches). PLUS, see the new video by Nunn Designs, with ideas and instructions on using different adhesives, including…

Ultra-Seal
Ultra-Seal can be used as a sealant, glue, or for layering objects within a pendant frame (it will not cloud when layered, nor will it interact with the copper plating). After Design Team Member Teri Calia tried some, she wouldn’t give it back! (I believe “out of my cold, dead hands” was uttered.)

2 Sticker Booklets
Little folders (with velcro closures) with reproductions of vintage postal and air mail stickers OR vintage reproductions of hands.

1/2 ounce trial size bags of Iridescent Glass Spheres
’nuff said

Fuschia Fine Glass Glitter + new Midnight back in stock
ditto

Clear Deco Beads
Picks up the color of what they’re applied to (see/click on the pumpkin photo at right).

Autumn Oak Leaf Brads
25 mixed-color paper fasteners. A little shy of 1/2″ wide).

Noir Fleur Pendant/Connector
Gorgeous, cast metal, matte black fleur-de-lis pendant (pendant with loops? large connector? not sure, but it’s beautiful). About 1-7/8″ wide.

Shell Shoe Buttons
A beautiful lot of dead stock (unused store stock). Metal shanks. 3/8″ to just shy of 1/2″ in diameter.
