Paper Piecing Take two……

Published by inkypaws at 9:06 pm under Fun stuff

Here’s another Paper Piecing tutorial. This is such a fun technique I figured I needed to do another step by step for you to try!

All stamps are from My Favorite Things

Stamps: You Take the Cake, Behind the Scenes - My Favorite Things

Paper: Whisper White, Blush Blossom, Apricot Appeal, Chocolate Chip, DP from DCWV

Ink: Noir Black Palette, Creamy Caramel

Accessories: Markers, Diamond Stickles, Sharp Scissors, Ribbon from IQ Accessories

Step 1 -

Stamp you images. Here’s what I used:

Dress and background - DP from DCWV

Arms - Blush Blossom (or any flesh looking color)

Cake - Close to Cocoa (or off white if you want a white cake)

Add shadows and glitter. I used markers for the shadows on the cake, dots on dress and candles.

Step 2-

Cut out your pieces. I sponged the inside edge of the dress with a little red for shading.

Step 3:

Assemble your pieces onto the background piece. I did it in this order:

1. Dress

2. Arms

3. Cake

    Thank you so much for putting this into understandable terms. :-) I love the way this looks, but was thinking it would be pretty hard to pull off. The card is so pretty!

    Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have been seeing these cards and was not quite sure how to do it. I know I could have figured it out, but it is great to see it spelled out. I do not want to waste valuable stamping time doing it all wrong!

    Awesome!! I always wondered how gals had the patience to paperpiece those “wallpaper” backgrounds. Now I know - it doesn’t take patience - it takes genius! Thanks for sharing!
