Hi Everyone,
It's Sparkle N Sprinkle's "My Favorite Technique" blog hop, and I'm thrilled to show off my cards. First off, you should have come here by way of Barbara, so if you didn't, please start here so you don't miss out commenting on anyone in the hop. That way you will be sure to be in the drawing for a number of fantastic prizes :)
Both of my cards today feature Paper Piecing. While I don't know if it's my favorite technique of all time, it sure is one that I enjoy doing because I really love the end result.
Here I used some of my background paper on the bunny's dress. I think it really pulls the whole card together. I also added a die cut flower made from Sticker Paper (99558) and Shell Pink (#G1022) and Evening Glow (#G1086) Glitters, along with a
1/2 strip of Tear-iffic Tape(#SAT04). The bunny is from the set
Star Bunnies (#214) and she's such a cutie!
I just loved each and every bunny in that stamp set, that I had a hard time choosing a favorite, so I just went ahead and made a second card with a different stamp from the same set. This time I paper pieced the dress using Sticker Paper (99558) coated in Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter (#GM2000) and colored it with a Copic marker to match my patterned papers. The sentiments for both of these cards came from the set Just for You (#444s)
As always, step by step details for both cards can be found in my gallery here.
Thanks for doing the "bunny" hop to my blog. Next up is the always fabulous Jackie, and I'm so excited to see what's she's made myself :) Have a great day and the entire list is below, just in case there is a hiccup along the way!

I always forget about paper piecing and it's such a neat technique to do. Love how you used both paper and glittered sticker paper to acheive the same, but yet different results :)
ReplyDeleteKarin, Two cute cards. Your paper piecing really makes your cards so coordinated. What a pretty glittered flower you've made too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love the papers that you used!
ReplyDeleteKarin, these are cute. I love the Spring colors. I have yet to try coloring on ep. Now that I've seen how cool this looks, I definately need to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteGee, Karin, How ironic that the "i" for paper enjoys paper piecing! LOL FABULOUS cards. I always forget to do the paper piecing, and it is a great look - always looks smart and classy. Love the little dress on the second bunny - really does match the background papers in all its glitter-i-ness. Karin, where did you find those adorable little fabric covered hearts? Is that a ribbon? They are WONDERFUL! Thanks for inspiring me with your cards this evening! hugs, de

ReplyDeleteI have never done paper piecing before although I am hearing a lot about it on FB and blogs. I believe it is time for me to get out of my comfort zone and give it a try! I love your Bunny girl's dress! Beautiful color and she is so sparkly!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love?! I'm a paper piecing fan myself - LOVE the Star Bunnies set too - I even have that same paper pad you used in the second card - great paper set & I love how you used it!! And the glittered dress on that card is such a great idea as well! Great cards Karin!
