Technique Blog Hop - Paper Piecing With Pizazz

Welcome to the Studio!

Thank you so much for visiting today. We are demonstrating the paper piecing technique on Page 27 of current CTMH Idea Book. This blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique. If you would like to start from the beginning, please visit this Debi's Blog. While there, you will also find a listing of all participants and their blog addresses if you should get lost or want to reference a blog along the way. That list is also at the end of this post. Let’s get started!

If you are coming from Judy Faye's Blog, you are on the right track! This technique is highlighted with the Sophia paper packet in the Idea Book but you will find variations for its use throughout this hop.





For my project, I decided to make a journaling tag. They are popular and come in these really cute little booklets to match your paper and embellishments. I decided to make my own to match the Wings paper. My paper pieced object on my tag is the fleur de lis. I first stamped the image in Vineyard Berry ink onto Vineyard Berry Cardstock. I then cut out the image and distressed it with Chocolate ink. Next, I stamped the image on a piece of patterned paper in Twilight ink. From that image, I cut out the center of the fleur de lis and attached it to my original stamped image. Again, I distressed it with Chocolate ink. For the last step, using Versamark, I stamped a portion of the image on black cardstock and heat embossed it using Clear Detail Embossing Powder. I then cut the center rectangle out and attached it to my original image. I then added some silver studs for a touch of bling!
