This package includes one full color page with five different card designs in two sizes and plenty of tiny stamps — and also one black-and-white page of cut-and-fold envelopes sized to fit the cards. Both pages can be printed on ordinary bond paper and easy directions for cutting and folding are included.

These cards use charming vintage graphics from The Graphics Fairy — aren't they precious? We've added a holiday greeting to the inside of each card, themed to the image on the front, and we’ve also left plenty of room inside for your doll to add her own personal greetings.

Once you've printed the cards and added any of your own greetings, just print and fold the matching envelopes, slip the cards inside and stick one of our tiny stamps on the front — and your doll's card is ready for the mini-mail!

Do you like the new silk Easter dress our American Girl® Nellie is wearing to deliver her cards? Pearl made this dress using one of the very first 18 inch doll patterns she ever bought — the 1890 Coat and Dress from Med Welch's Etsy shop.

Pearl made a few adaptations to the pattern to show off a wide range of spring silk colors, and added a giant pink silk bow as well!

If you think we're showing off these silks because we're going to be offering them (in these colors — and lots more) in our Etsy shop soon, you are RIGHT!

Stay tuned next week as Pearl finishes photographing the silks and preparing the listings. And be sure to look out for our Easter Sunday newsletter for even more photos of this charming dress!

While you're preparing Easter cards for your dolls, be sure to download our fabulous Easter Basket printable and tutorial package as well!

When craftmeister "Lee" accidentally wound up with a collection of brightly colored 1/8" ribbon spools, she realized those ribbons would make perfect doll-scale versions of the weavers in brightly colored children's Easter baskets.

An experienced human-scale basket weaver, Lee set to work, turning a complicated process into an ultra easy, doll-scale printable craft — and one of our most popular FREE downloads.

Over the years since we debuted this craft, we've added new sizes and weaving materials and techniques, so you can make a whole range of wonderful baskets for your dolls — perfect for the holiday, and beyond!
