Paper Pieced Flowers – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing the paper piecing technique.

I have used the Flowers Fair stamp set and the Kintsugi Inspirations dsp to make my card.

I selected the two patterns of Kintsugi Inspirations designer series paper from my scraps. Taking one Cloud Cover pattern I cut it into smaller pieces, placed them over the relevant flowers, inked up the stamp and stamped down onto the scraps. The flowers were then fussy cut.

I repeated this step with the Petal Pink dsp and the smaller flowers and fussy cut them out.

I made this fluttering by card using pieces left over from my May classes combined with the All Aflutter stamp set and co-ordinating Punch.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the fluttering by card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞”” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛”
Thick Basic White – 4⅛ by 3⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 3”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 5¾” by ⅞”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 4” by 1¼” x 2
Barely Blush – 2⅜” by 2⅜”
Scrap Basic White

The three pieces of Lovely Blossoms dsp were glued to the Thick Basic White card base. The long thin one along the top flap and the two shorter, squatter ones on either side.

I embossed the 3¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. The embossed piece was then adhered to the 4⅛ by 3⅛” piece of Thick Basic White card with a small border around both sides and the bottom. It won’t reach the top of the panel, and this is intentional. Glue was added to the un-embossed strip at the top of the panel and the whole piece adhered under the top flap.

From the square of Barely Blush card I die cut a decorated circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The sentiment was stamped on the die cut circle using Black ink and the circle was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the trio of butterflies with Black ink, coloured them in with the light Barely Blush, Hydrangea Hue and Old Olive Blends Pens. The butterflies were then punched out using the All Aflutter Punch.
