 Flower themed wedding cards from a scrapbook dated 1953 from various publishers.  Some cards have embossing, foil and other details. I've included the front and inside of each card.

magazine cut outs

So occasionally I'll come across an ad or magazine with a figure that I think would make a cute paper doll.  When I do, I'll cut them out and put them aside for later projects.  Here are some examples.  The dolls are from an old Dolls Magazine that was falling apart. The models are from different resources, one magazine ad and one newspaper ad.  The black and white figures are from a reproduction pamphlet discussing the trends in 1919.

Caroline and Danny

Here is a four page coloring set from the artist Mary Englebreit.  There are two dolls, a boy and a girl.  I've included a black and white scan as well as a colored version I did several years ago.

Fabric

I found this fat quarter square of fabric at my local Hancock's Fabric Store.  They didn't have any more in stock.  It features vintage patriotic girls, some whom I recognize from paper doll sets, like Mary of Wacs.  I may use this fabric in a future project.

 Here is a cut set of Merrill's 1940's Dionne Quints Paper Dolls.  The set features all five girls along with outfits, some toys, and hats.  They have matching outfits in different colors and some costumes.
