Paper Piecing

Paper piecing is the new challenge at Scrappy Frog's Challenge. This is a really fun and easy technique to give your cards a little something special. Here are a few cards I have made using paper piecing. What you do is stamp you image on white paper, pick a design that you want to use in your image (smaller patterns work best), and stamp your image on the patterned paper


as well. Then you cut the part of the image out of the paper (on these two I cut out the dresses) and glue it to the corresponding part of the image you have stamped on the white paper. It is easiest to move the paper than to move your scissors, sharp small scissors work best, and I always cut toward the inside of the outline when I do it. So, get out some stamps, some paper, and your sharp scissors and give it a try. You can post your creation on Scrappy Frogs to try and win a 6 x 6 Basic Grey paper pad. Both of the cards I made were made with Basic Grey paper. It is my favorite.
