Paper Piecing For Card Makers
Paper Piecing is not just for scrapbook layouts anymore!
Hello! Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility. I wanted to show you another technique you can use for making your cards instead of stamping and coloring. I know I am new to coloring and I am just learning the fundamentals of coloring, so I tend to do other things to make my cards beautiful.
Today we are talking about SVGs and paper piecing for card makers!
Supplies:
- American Crafts Precision White Cardstock
- American Crafts Peony Pink Cardstock
- American Crafts Blush Cardstock
- American Crafts Precision Black Cardstock
Here I took a SVG from My Scrap Chick called Fluffy Bunny. I used American Crafts Precision White Cardstock from 12 X 12 Cardstock Shop to make the base of my card, the scalloped oval and most of the bunnies bodies. I then used Peony Pink American Crafts Cardstock for the top layer of my card, ears and hearts.
The flowers I made with American Crafts Peony and Blush cardstock.
White always has a blue hue about it so I chalk ink my bunnies with a light blue chalk ink. I chalk inked all my other pieces with the necessary colors, put a little blush on the bunnies, and drew their eyes, eyebrows and nose area.
Taking some Pink Diamonds, from Ann’s Paper Boutique, I spread them throughout the card to finish it off.
So, stamping and coloring is not your only option when making a pretty card. I love using my SVGs or my dies also to make fun scenes to fit my occasion. Try it out sometime!
Thanks for stopping by and I will see you next time!
