Mix It Up Challenge Blog- Challenge- Paper Piecing

Hello Crafty Friends,

Have you ever paper pieced an image before?  I loved creating those paper dolls from the Cricut cartrudge many years back, which I still have, to create cute little people.  Not quite the same thing, but so much fun. If you do, that is the challenge at Mix It Up Challenge Blog this month; Paper Piecing,

 I used the birthday stamp from Simon Says stamps to paper piece the balloons for a cute birthday card.

Here is the card I created:

 

I stamped the image 3 times, 2 times on the card front and one time on a scrap piece of the same blue cardstock.  I then stamped the image several times on different colors of cardstock.  I then cut out each balloon and party popper with the color I wanted.  I glued all the pieces to the individual stamped image.  I then popped this image up on the card front.

To finish the card, I layered the card front on another piece of blue cardstock.  I also stamped the sentiment from Taylored Expressions in black ink at the top. 

I hope you try paper piecing if you have never tried it.  Please leave me a comment and then join the challenge at Mix It Up Challenge Blog.
