In The Moment Birthday: Paper Piecing Technique

Stampin’ Up Only Challenge #301

I designed my Stampin’ Up In The Moment Birthday Card for SUO Challenge #301. The theme this time is Birthdays. Check out the beautiful creations that our design team created as well as the other entries for this challenge by CLICKING HERE.

This cad uses the Paper Piecing Technique. The paper piecing technique is so much fun to use with our beautiful designer series papers. The woman’s hat and dress are achieved using the technique.

To achieve the look:

1. Stamp the image on white card stock using memento ink.
2. Color her hair with the Soft Suede stampin’ blends and her arms using the Ivory Stampin’ blends.
3. Select the designer series paper that you would like to have the hat and dress in. I used the pinstripe print.
4. Stamp the image on the designer series paper using memento ink.
5. Using paper snips, cut around the hat and then cut the dresss out removing the arms and hair portion.
6. Using multipurpose glue, attach the hat and dress to the colored image lining up all the stamped lines.

It is such a fun technique that you can use on any lined art image. Try it out and let me know what you think of the technique.
