For her challenge this week, Anne asked the CCEE Stampers to make a card for a friend using a fun technique -- paper piecing. She also instructed us to mail it!!!
I pulled out a cute stamp from Paper Nest Dolls and the Karen Burniston Rockin' Rectangle die to make this card for my sister, who is also a paper crafter. It may be a little difficult to see, but this crafter's skirt is paper-pieced. I had purchased those sentiment stamps at a stamp show many years ago and thought they would be perfect. In case you can't read the inside sentiment, it says, "She who dies with the most stamps wins!" We can all relate to that one.
By the way, I have already mailed this card to my sister, who will be visiting me from Illinois next month. We will be attending the Orlando Stamp & Scrapbook Expo while she's here.
Stop over at the CCEE Stampers blog for some more examples of paper-piecing.
