Little Black Dress....

Today I wanted to share a couple of the newest stamps from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps.... It's sort of a fun play on paper dolls only you get to be the designer!! There is the Pleated Skirt and Skirt Tops . (you can click on the links to be taken to the stamp images)

The Pleated Skirt stamp is a half circle with various fold lines that is stamped on the back of the desired paper. Once cut out you can fold and crease in various ways to make an endless supply of flirty skirts for all your cards, lo's, tags, etc. The Skirt Tops finish off your design - one side has a sleeveless/strap style the other top has fun little cap sleeves.

I've tried to make some of these dresses without using the stamp and they never seemed to turn out as good as the photos I see various places. These stamps take all the guess work out. You just stamp, trim and fold. Far easier and much quicker.

Here are several examples of what I made with them....it's hard to stop at just one or two let me tell you.

Depending on the fold you choose the skirts can be very dimensional and full to medium sized pleats to completely flat. It's totally up to you. I left many of these skirts simple but you could go wild with embellishments, trim, fringe, etc. The possibilities are just endless!
