Today’s card uses a fun technique, called “Paper Piecing.” It reminds me of paper dolls, where you cut the clothes to fit the shape of the doll.

Paper Piecing

First, I stamped the VW bus from the Driving By Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 2 1/4″ X 2 1/4″. Second, I stamped the VW bus on Pansy Petals Designer Paper, and hand-cut the roof and side of the bus, along the black lines. Prior to gluing the floral pieces to the black inked bus, I colored the frame, wheels and windows with Stampin’ Blends in Ivory, Smoky Slate, and Pool Party.

Next, I stamped “you’ve got style,” also from the Driving by Stamp Set, beneath the bus. Then, I glued the square to Highland Heather Cardstock, cut 1/8″ larger, giving the square a 1/16″ border, and placed it on Dimensionals.

The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, stamped with two Friendly Hello Stamps in Highland Heather Ink. This layer is glued to a Highland Heather card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The Driving By Stamp Set and Friendly Hello Bundle are both FREE during Sale-a-bration, which ends February 28th. There’s a complete list of the Sale-a-bration products below.

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches. 

My February Host Code Gift

Just type the current host code (found beneath my profile picture) in the box provided, on your order of $75.00 or more, and I will send you the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks in March.

Create textured and colored backgrounds with Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. These stencils are an easy way to blend colors on your cards and other paper crafting projects. You can use the background masks on their own. But your images will really pop when you layer the detailed masks over the backgrounds to get even more depth and dimension. Use with Classic Stampin’ Ink and coloring tools such as Blending Brushes and Sponge Daubers for beautiful color. You can also use them with Embossing Paste and Palette Knives for textured designs.

Thank you for stopping by! Stay warm!
