Sunny morning smile!

Ever since I saw Hero Art’s Russian Doll stamps I had this idea kicking around in my brain to make them into some sort of fabric doll. Finally had the chance the other day — yay! Here’s the front:

And here’s the back!

I plan to put her on my kitchen windowsill — can’t wait to see her sunny smile in the mornings.

This was so easy to do using Claudine Hellmuth’s Sticky Back Canvas — I love how you can stamp on it and not lose any of the little details.  Click on over to the Hero Club Blog for full materials + instructions.

Sunny morning smiles to you!

  • Lisa, love the stamping on fabric to create the dolls.  Fantastic execution!  You are so talented.  Thank you for visiting my blog!

  • saw this on the hero blog and i just love it! soooo cute! :)

  • Lisa, that fabric Russian little doll adorable :) I love the cards you’ve done with the nestabilities dies and have a question. With all the new releases just out if you were to pick one or two to use in your card making which ones would you go for/use the most? I have Labels 1, large circles and large classic scalloped circles and would love to add another couple of the new sets but just can’t make up my mind. TIA

    • Hi Chantille, you’ve got my favorites right there! I’d have to go with the scalloped squares, Labels 2, scalloped rectangle, and curved rectangle. I like to make mini cards with the rectangle ones — put the die so that it is a little past the fold — fun!

  • Oh this is super duper adorable, Lisa!! I’m not a sewing girl, but I might need to give this one a try!! My daughters would love it! :) Your work is always inspiring!

  • Awe, I want one!
