Happy Wednesday! It's time for another Simon Says Stamp challenge and this week we'll be paper-piecing!
This week the Design Team and Guest Designer Glenda Wyatt are using lily bee design papers - you don't need to have these papers to enter our challenge, but if you do have them, we'd love to see what you do with them!
I made 2 cards for you today, using the Head over Heels collection from lily bee design (currently out of stock), both very different styles. Here's my first:
I made 2 cards for you today, using the Head over Heels collection from lily bee design (currently out of stock), both very different styles. Here's my first:
This card uses all Head over Heels design papers, plus 2 Hero Arts sets, Etched Flowers and Truly Grateful. I put 2 layers on each of the flowers, raising them both up with foam squares, and centering them with a clear sparkly dot sticker.
Coincidentally, our little granddaughter is turning 2 years old tomorrow, so I also made this card using the Head over Heels collection.
She recently discovered owls and so I looked through my stamps and found this one from Paper Smooches, called "Chubby Chums". My letters are Die-Namics By-the-Letters die cuts, the tree branch is a Simon die called Small Forest Tree, and the twine is We R Memory Keepers.
I love paper-piecing, so I'm really looking forward to getting some great inspiration from YOU! The random winner could win a $50.00 gift voucher from the Simon Says Stamp Store!
