Paper Piecing



Several of you have asked how to do paper piecing with your images. This is how I do it ...




Single Image
1. Print your sheet of images (print in draft printing mode at this stage to get the most out of your ink)
2. Stick your paper over the image you'd like to paper piece, using a temporary spray adhesive & pop it back into your printer.
3. Print your image on top.

This is a great way to use up small scraps of paper.




Sheet of Images
1. Print your paper design & pop it back into your printer.
2. Print your images on the top.


Then, whichever way you've chosen, you just cut around the pieces you want to include on your card and stick them down.

And that's it! I really like paper piecing. I think it's a really simple way to finish images & create with paper.

If you've never done it before, try experimenting
- using paper designs that compliment the rest of your card
- or totally contrast with it
- with different colours & different paper designs on the same image
- if you can cut out neatly, mount the pieces on dimensionals

The results can be absolutely stunning
