Archive for the ‘Paper Piecing’ Category

We have a very colorful sock site, called Joy of Socks, for our Inspiration Challenge (IC747). I chose THIS pair of socks for my inspiration. Good thing I kept the pic, because the socks have been removed from the site!

For my get well card, I die cut the various succulents out of teal, lime & scraps of watercolored paper then die cut the white pots. I wanted a large window, so I used my die  resizing technique to make the (original window is only 4 panes) window half again wider & longer. I’m not gonna lie..it was a little tricky but it worked. The valance was cut using a curved border die & fun orangey-red paper. Another, subtle print was added behind the window & I popped the whole thing up just a tad w/ cardboard. I wanted a little pop of color, so I added some little red flowers to a couple of the plants.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep safe & be well!

X2!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC732), we’re headed to LTD Commodities & THIS was my inspiration. 

For my version, I die cut cocoa mug & go cup out of some coordinating papers then did a little paper piecing on them. The greeting was stamped on some cement colored paper, everything was attached & some holly sprigs added.

It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC696) this week! And we’re headed to the land down under w/ a site of fab scenery & colorful beach towels. I chose THIS picture for my inspiration. I really liked the black & white pattern w/ just the addition of a green leaf.

To make my card, I die cut the wavy frame out of white & again out of the black & white patterned paper then put back the inserts as you see. I had a sponged piece of paper left from last week’s card (here), so I used it to die cut leaves, the larger frame & the Smile word.

Here’s the inside:
