Stamping With Blue Moon Creations

Less is More Recipe Week 72-Paper Piecing

This week’s challenge over at Less is More is the Paper Piecing Technique.  This is a new one for me, and at first I read the challenge as paper pieRcing! It is Paper Piecing, no “R”.

So what is paper piecing?  This is what I found on about.com:

“Papercraft paper piecing involves cutting pieces out from a design and layering them on paper. This is a versatile technique and easily adapted. Rubber stamps designs are often used for paper piecing projects. A design can be stamped several times on a piece of paper and then these can be cut and adhered to a project.”

This is right up my alley since I am always looking for ways to use up my paper scraps!

Paper Piecing 014

 

The images for this card were created in My Digital Studio and printed out on glossy white card stock.  I also created another page of just the balloons and printed them out as well.  I cut out the balloons creating a template, traced them onto some Designer Series Paper scraps and cut out.  Then, they were popped up on the main image using Dimensionals.  I also added some black twine for the strings tied to the back of the bicycle.  I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack to punch 2 flowers for the spokes and added colored rhinestones.

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets: Timeless and Patterned Party (My Digital Studio downloads)

Paper: Daffodil Delight, glossy white, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper

Accessories: Itty Bitty Punch Pack, rhinestones, Sharpie pen, black twine, Dimensionals
