Paper Piercing for Baby

There's no PIERCING here. It's another paper PIECING card for that Moxie Fab challenge. And it works for the current Caardvarks baby card and The Shabby Tearoom "Hip to be Square" challenges too.

I used a 3/4 inch punch to make the paper squares. I grabbed a bunch of paper from my stash that coordinated, but paper piecing is a great way to use up scraps. I based the card on Kazan's Sketch 50 at 2 Sketches 4 You. Here's the sketch:

And here's a closer look at the detail of the card. The sentiment is actually cut from designer paper.

Caardvarks is hosting a huge blog hop now with over 20 designers and their challenge is to create a baby card. You've got until April 17th if you want to play along.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Halcraft ivory

Paper: Paper Pizazz, ProvoCraft, Making Memories

Accessories: Cuttlebug embossing folder from It's a Boy set, EK Success 3/4 inch square punch

Butterfly Paper Piecing Card

This is a paper piecing card for the challenge at Moxie Fab. The challenge is to create a project whose background or focal point is paper pieced. The stripes were created by adhering the bright colored paper strips onto heavy silver vellum. Then I die cut the stripes and adhered to black and detailed one butterfly with a silver metallic pen. Here's a closer look.

Supplies:

Cardstock: The Paper Company

Dies: Cuttlebug Butterfly

Accessories: silver metallic pen by Pentel, Fiskars punch
