Folding ATC's

Yes, I have been playing with paper dolls Again...I can not tell a lie!

Paper dolls I am!

Folding ATC cards

When you fold the doll to fit the card first fold the legs up to the top.

Next fold the arms above her head.  Because the brad in the bodice,

her head can also swivel.  She now fits on your 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 card!

Supplies needed:

                           1.Paper doll stamp set (I used the stamp set

item number 17633)

                    but I often use the item no.  1337

        plate with 4 different sizes

         I used a face from this plate

 2. Flesh colored card stock

3. Print paper for clothing

                        4. Brads in both skin and clothing colors.

 Step a.  Stamp out a separate face and bodice piece.  I remove the top of the corset and the 

lace from the bodice piece to add later.

Step 2.  Stamp out a set of legs from your print paper and cut the  top part of the 

leg to make your doll pantaloons. Rounding at the bottom of the knee.

Step 3.  Because the corset had nice lines on it I decided to make the

pantaloons match.  I took the bottom part of the curtain and stamped 

it over the pantaloons.now attach the  legs to the base of the corset. 

 Legs behind corset.

item number:1337

I used the face from this set for my doll head base.

Step 5.  I choose another Vivalasvegastamps!  Face stamp for this doll.

               I altered her by putting both sticker flowers and 

(later cut flowers) on her a head piece.

Step 5 a.  Attach the ruffle you cut from the print paper bodice

and attach it over the one on the bodice of your doll.

                     Step 5 b.  Attach the the bodice to the card...yes all the way through. 

                                            This is the one that actually attach your doll  to the 

 ATC card.

Step 6.  I glued the altered head to the original face.  I first cut the original head smaller so there

would be no overlap.

                                      This is my first  folding ATC doll, I recommend Practice!

 This doll has a different

attachment placement so her head fold down

over the corset. The legs go up 

and the arms can fold in either directions.

Experimenting is great.

I know there are a lot of very possibly confusing directions.  Please make a comment with your questions and I will get right back to you.
