Paper Piecing Patterned Paper

My Facebook Live on paper piecing incorporated so many of my favourite things - pattern paper (DSP in Stampin' Up lingo), dies, layers etc..

It was a huge coincidence that I used so many dies which don't have to be paired with a stamp set.

Sunflowers always bring a smile to my face, even the paper kind! This was the second card I shared, and it is such an easy one really, as there is no fussy cutting. The only stamping on this card is the sentiment and 2 leaves, which could be replaced with die cuts, if you weren't wanting the stamps. This Sunflower die #152704 normally retails for $57 but with 20% off 16th-18th November, it's $45.60.

There is a die to cut the DSP in the background, and then I used Adhesive sheet on the back of the Bumblebee cardstock, to make adhering less messy. Those two pieces just match together beautifully. The designer series paper used on the project is Harvest Meadow, #156494 page 55 of the mini catalogue.

Despite there being no dies at all for the Beautiful Moments stamp, it is not a difficult one to paper piece. This image is the trickiest, and there are two other images where there are little girls dresses to cut out. It's just like playing with paper dolls - or do you have to be old like me to remember that?

Big Birthdays

Big birthdays - you know, those ones that end in '0' - require big cards. My youngest son just turned 30 and at this stage still lives at home with us. If it hadn't been for Covid-19, he might have bought a house and moved out but I guess we're just lucky!!!
I was a bit stuck for what to put on his card this year and did a repeat of A Good Man in watercolours. Also had some fun masking and incorporating By the Dock.

I've shared a video on my Facebook business page and on Youtube of how to mask and place the foreshore behind the subject, and some watercolouring. For the feminine version, I pulled Beautiful Moments from the shelf. Doesn't she look lovely staring out to sea?

Are you as happy as I am that we have alphabets and numbers back in our die range? I liked that the '30' fitted so nicely on the banner from the Tasteful Labels dies.

He and his lovely lady are nature lovers and took themselves off to the seaside for this special birthday. The ocean is often moodier in winter, and the windswept beaches are definitely deserted. When they mentioned that they'd been searching for dinosaur footprints at Inverloch and seeking out the migrating whales I wondered what I could have put together using Dino Days or Whale Done!!!
