Paper Piecing Technique for Global Design Project

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE a fun design by Wendy Weixler. Her paper pieced flowers are wonderful, which inspired my design. We’d love to see what you create, so please share it on social media, and tag it #gdp544.

I chose the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set to show off the paper piecing technique, and stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the same stamp with Memento Black Ink, and stamped it on three patterns of Lovely & Beautiful Designer Paper. Then, I used scissors to hand-cut the flowers, leaves, and blossoms along the black lines. 

Paper Piecing

Prior to gluing the flowers, leaves and blossoms in place, I used the second largest Branching Out Die for cutting. Then, I layered this on green, Lovely & Beautiful Designer Paper, cut with the largest Branching Out Die. Both layers were glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4.

“Hello” is from the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. To add just a little shine, I attached Epoxy Shapes to the centers of the flowers. I had so much fun creating today’s card. But, don’t get me wrong; it requires tedious cutting, and would only be enjoyed by those who like to fussy cut. There are Fragrant Layers Dies to cut the images, which would give a similar look.
