You can make them, too. Just follow the cutting and folding instructions, stamp and assemble.

Aren't these adorable? I cut trapezoid shapes from scraps of the Text Weight Print to make aprons and finished them off with ribbon trim.

Now that the papers are trimmed and ready to go, it's time to assemble and add the finishing touches . . .

CARDS 1, 2 & 3

If you can get your hands on a set of "googly eyes," they add an extra-special, silly touch to the clock stamp found on the UM Borders & Backgrounds sheet.

White Pigment Ink works well when stamping onto Black paper. For a crisp image, consider stamping on the smooth side.

CARDS 4, 5, 6 AND 7 IMG_8018

Mix and match a handmade "apron" with each dress. For the apron, simply trace the angle of the skirt onto a scrap of the White Text Weight Print and trim into a trapezoid shape. Round the bottom corners and fold over the top edge. Adorn the apron with printed grosgrain ribbon and a sparkly heart. Draw apron strings with a white gel pen.

Use colored pencils or markers to add color to the stamped image and finish with a touch of glitter glue.

Distress the edges of the printed panels with a paper distressing tool and staple a folded 2" length of ribbon to the upper right corner of the stamped panel. (The sentiment was stamped onto the plain side of the White Print.)
