While FabScraps has sadly closed its doors, I’ve kept this post live to celebrate the incredible artistry of the design team and to keep these Artist Trading Coin (ATC) ideas available for your inspiration. the entire sheet.

Why this game-changing tutorial is getting crafter clicks worldwide So it’s no secret that I am totally crazy about Prima Marketing’s Julie Nutting Dolls Stamps . I mean — I talk about them a lot… okay, really, really a lot. But they bring me such joy! They’re whimsical, expressive, and perfect for cards, scrapbooks, tags, journal layouts, planner spreads… You name it. But not everyone shares my undying love for fussy cutting all those tiny layers. Why This Matters: The Pain Point Every Crafter Knows Some of my crafty friends were less than thrilled about cutting out the myriad tiny pieces that make these dolls come to life. They liked the look of the finished product, but the process? Not so much. I get it — spending time with small, fiddly pieces isn’t everyone’s idea of creative zen.
