Stamp It! Techniques Week: The Paper Piecing Challenge

In Day Three of our week-long celebration of Paper Crafts magazine's moxie fab Stamp It! Techniques, I've got one more technique-y challenge for you, friends. Let's have some fun with paper piecing, shall we?

Paper piecing is where you stamp an image on a piece of patterned paper or cardstock, cut it out, and piece it together on your project. It's trendy Wendy and a ton of fun. Here are some moxie fab examples from the issue:

Veggies Together Card by Kim Kesti, p. 37

Moxie Fab Alert: In this simple and supah fun card, Kim has simply stamped the various veggies on different patterned papers, cut them out and adhered them to her card. Paper piecing is an easy way to add patterns to stamped images to create certain looks or styles.

Good Times Card b Nicole Eccles, p. 42

Moxie Fab Alert: In one of my favorite cards from the entire issue, Nicole has stamped various aspects of the girl on different patterns and "pieced" them together to create this sweet-as-pie effect. Moxie fab!

Are you in pieces waiting to see how to enter this challenge? I thought you might be. Let's put it all together shall we?

• Create a stamped paper crafted project (card, gift bag, tag, layout, home decor item, mini-book cover, etc.) that incorporates the paper piecing technique in an innovative way. For more ideas and how-to step-outs on how to approach paper piecing, see pages 37-50 of Stamp It! Techniques.
