Paper Piecing


As soon as I soon this stamp from Woodware I knew it had to be paper pieced as well and while I had the papers out for the neutrals Less is More I might as well use this stamp as well. You could use pinks too and add some flowers. All I did was to stamp on three contrasting colours and cut the letters, not forgetting the holes in the letters. I use the Xyron X sticker thingy saves making a mess with glue and it sticks to the edges.
I did use a sharpie to make some matching doodling round the edge of the card and job was done another great simple idea to use for those pesky men.
