You've already seen some rag dolls pop up on the blog this past week -
click,
click, and
click - but today is the official new rag doll release over at
Clear and Simple Stamps! There are new, sitting rag dolls, background sets, and dies to build your own plush rag doll - so cute!
Here's my thing: because of all the card-making that goes on at my house, the kids are always asking if they can get in on the action. I love it. But sometimes, choosing the stamps, stamping, cleaning it up - that's the not-fun part for them. They like coloring, glueing, adding glitter - that kind of stuff. So, with my kidlets in mind, I created a little rag doll card kit for them to enjoy (and believe me, they have already been enjoying...)
I created a fully assembled card so they could see what could be done with their kit.

Mia, sittin' on a log together. So cute.
The kit includes: 14 card-bases in different colors, 14 "scenes", too many die-cut and stamped rag dolls, favor flags with all kinds of different sentiments from the different rag doll sets.
I packaged the cardbases in a clear box, and the rest like this:
You could easily fill the box with crayons instead - wouldn't that be fun? But for now, card accessories.
The mini-sized Willa doll is adorable, yes? I love her.
Here's a look at what kinds of scenes you could stamp with the
background sets:
I created 7 designs, and stamped 2 of each (no fighting between children, that's always my goal...) At the top, you can see the empty scenes, and I just plopped some of the rag dolls into the scenes at the bottom to give you a better idea.
My girl gets fancy for crafting:
and Thomas uses both ends of the glue-stick...
I thank CSS for teaching my kids their new word-of-the-week: BOOYAH. ha.
And in case you didn't know, Jesus loves rag dolls:
