Clear & Simple Stamps - Collection 5 - Ragdolls

Oh.My.Goodness.  Can someone please pinch me!?!  I am over the moon excited to share with you that I have been asked to guest design for Clear and Simple Stamps during their Collection 5 release going on right now!  I get to work with some of my very favorite CSS Stamps, the Ragdolls!

You may recognize these adorable little ladies and gents from the Collection 4 release.  This release, CSS is adding to the Ragdoll line with so many super cute sets to add even more versatility to these little dolls.  For my ensemble, I chose to work with Ragdoll Coats 1 and Ragdoll Scenes 1.  You can see those, and the rest of the new Ragdoll goodies (which are available for purchase NOW) in the CSS Store.

Let's get started!!  I have tons of pictures to share with you!  I created a little ensemble including an Apple Cider Kit, some packaged cookies and a matching card.  I used Ragdoll Emma: Happy.  You may remember that she is wearing a dress in that set, but doesn't she look fabulous in her new fall attire?  In order to change Emma's clothes, I needed to do a little masking.  First, I stamped the argyle coat from Coats 1, then I masked it off, and carefully stamped only the ragdoll head.  When you remove the mask, you have a wardrobe change! *wink*

I used several bits and pieces from the new Scenes 1 set including the giant apple, ground with leaves, and the little wooden table. I created a tag using the Tags 1 dies.

You may recognize the tiny little coffee mug sitting on the table... that is from the Ragdoll: Shop set.

One of the things that I love most about these sets is that you can use the images with or without the dolls.  You can see that I used the giant apple from the Scenes 1 set to decorate the top of the tin.

I used the apple again for the cookie pillowbox.  The clear pillowboxes are also available in the store.

And you can't give a gift without a card!  I used all of the same sets on the card, and also pulled out my Ragdoll Carlie: Hello set for the sentiment.

I just love bringing these little people to life! :)  I hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I enjoyed creating them!!  Click the links below to be inspired by the other DT members as they share their Ragdoll creations with you! :)
