I had alot of fun making this layout using paper piecing! Pretty much anything goes for this challenge. Use your die cut machine to layer paper--punches to create new shapes-- stamp on multiple papers and cut them out and put back together like a puzzle--get back to basics with your scissors and create a personal embellishment.
I decided to play with punches for this challenge and created this layout about my brother and his family:
The flowers are punched out and layered using 3 different punches (the pink punch is actually the punch you use for the I-Top to make paper covered brads):
I cut out some paper with the I-Top brad punch first:
Then I used my big flower punch to punch out the middle of the first punch:
I took another scrap and cut out a tiny flower:
I simply layered them all together to make a different flower:
Here it is on my layout. My paper was double sided, so that helped add interest. I also added some bling to the middle and a butterfly cut out with my Cricut (Lyrical Letters) and raised up with a foam square.
I can't wait to see what YOU came up with! If you go to my blog (
Double Dog Dare You) you will see some bonus paper piecing projecst that I made (shhh....didn't use my kit for one of the cards...don't tell Meridy!)
