WT847 ~ Paper Piecing ~ June 3, 2021

[Shoe Girl]

Lisa here your hostess for this weeks Ways to Use It challenge.

I am pretty certain one of the first few techniques I learned was paper piecing. My best friend and I use to have pages of images we could create and we just needed to trace the shapes, cut, add some color and layer to create some super fun embellishments for our scrapbooks. Thankfully things have come a long way since those days. We have punches, die cuts, great open stamps to stamping shapes and cutting and some might even have Cricuts. Today's challenge is to paper piece.

Here are some fun tutorials that have some great paper piecing ideas:

Just straightforward old-fashioned plain piecing from me, although I hope to get to a 3D project over the holiday weekend.

WT847 Happy

Be careful if you try digital - I had a piece jam inside my printer - expensive mistake!

[tessaduck]

Here 'tis: deer I'll have to try the technique again, as this one was so small that it's hard to see the effect!

[Crafty Julia]

Thank you Lisa for the inspiration! For my card creation I went with a truck under a blue sky- a few clouds, but sunny! Put a layered fussy cut sun in the pickup bed, and added a golden "road" and a aqua blue top border. Used my watercolor pencils, then misted for a diffuse effect. Added yellow hubcaps for my truck. Here's you bring sunshine

I actually posted this card late yesterday but didn’t have a challenge category in which to add it. The golfers shirt is paper-pieced so I am adding it to this Ways To Use It Challenge.

Incoming!!!

[CardCountess]

Great ideas to try! And it only took me reading three tutorials before I finally realized that the topic was paper piecing, not piercing, as I had read it. Sure makes a lot more sense now!

[Forest Ranger]

Lisa, I love paper piecing so of course I had to play along today. You can see my card - HERE.

Once I figured out we were piecing and not piercing, I got to make one of my favorite layouts. Starbursts are just plain happy! So little cake! by CardCountess at Splitcoaststampers

I'm working toward my "Challenge Catch-ups" goal. So many ways to paper piece...many possible tutorial links included in the challenge description. I've used paper strips layered first, and then woven and adhered to card front.
