Spooktacular News for your Halloween Crafts!

 


For many years, I was a newspaper reporter, and I loved it! This week, as I created a new set of Halloween printables, I got to combine my old newspaper career with my new career in graphic design. This latest set of eight designs features vintage-style newspapers and costume advertisements.

I figure you never can have too many Halloween images, right? So I've been busy adding this and another new Halloween kit to the KB and Friends Etsy Shop

Check out the latest!

ABCs (and other essentials) for Alma the doll

What's a doll to do without a fun wardrobe and little extras like ABC flashcards, bingo cards and books?


Well, Tanna Beth, owner of Sew Dollish Boutique at Etsy, has an answer.

Not only does Tanna make adorable dresses for dollies, but she also is using products from KB and Friends to create miniature items for dolls. In the photo above, Tanna used our printable nursery rhyme cards to create a book suitable for a doll.

Of course, what inspired Tanna to make these tiny creations was her adorable doll, Alma, who has her own website, Adventures with Alma.

Like the rest of us, Alma needs stuff, so Tanna has been busy making books, bingo cards and flashcards in the teeny tiny sizes Alma needs.

Here's a miniature book that Tanna made using KB and Friends' printable children's book cover.

You can print in doll sizes


Tanna prints KB and Friends' printables at a fraction of their regular size.

This can easily be done by changing the settings on your printer software. Most printers allow you to print at a percentage of the size of the digital page. For example, you can choose to print at 50% or 25% the size to get small enough prints for your dolls.

And now, Tanna is also selling some of those doll goods in her shop. Check out the doll-sized bingo cards shown above. And, below, you'll see even more goodies made by Tanna.

Tanna's mother, meanwhile, makes adorable clothing for Alma. You can see the doll clothes she sells at her Etsy shop, Designed By Jac Qs.

So now that Tanna's doll Alma is all set, it's time to think about furnishing the rest of the dolls of the world with such fun items to play with.
