This week's challenge is to make a project using Paper Piecing and as you'll see, the Design Team have created some fabulous inspiration for you.


Asha - This card is a response to a blog buddy who said that Polka Doodles papers are too whimsical for simple, grown-up cards. She couldn't be further from the truth! I made this with papers exclusively from the Cherry Blossom Lane CD. The butterfly and greeting are from the Gracie Fairy Flutterfly rubber stamp set. I paper-pieced the butterfly, added some bling and we have a simple (almost CAS) card, perfect for any adult.

Fliss - I've made a rather girly card with the gorgeous vintage lady digi stamp from the All Sewn Up Collection on the Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 CD. I paper pieced her frock with the pretty deep rose paper from the Pretty Sweet CD which is where the grungy rose background paper came from too. I coloured the unpieced areas with watercolour pencils. I added a Marianne Design doily and roses from the Sugarplum Daisy CD layered up to finish.

Astrid - I have made girly tag with this lovely girl from the CD All Around & Everywhere

I paper pieced her skirt from this CD and also her jumper. The rest is coloured with copic markers.

The flowers are also from the same CD.

I distressed the paper with the Tim Holtz distresser, behind the image I added blue cardstock with a Cuttlebug embossing folder with little birds. Some pearls from my stash.

Karon - For my card I used papers from the Sundae of the Seasons and Cherryblossom Lane CD's.  My image is one of the Fairy Flutterfly stamps, this one is called Meeshelle.  I have paper pieced her top, trousers, bag and the little flower in her hair.  She was coloured with alcohol markers.  A sallsentiment and ribbon flower finish her off.

Sally - This is my first paper piecing card I have ever made and loved making it. I used papers from my crafty stash to paper piece my image and for my background. The stamps are from the Pen & Paper Circle No. 5. Also the image is coloured using my Promarkers. I cut out a frame for my little lad using a Spellbinders die. Cute eh?

 

Miria I made a small card using an insert from cd Cherryblossom Lane , I think it was a perfect background for this cute bunny from Emma Canning . I paperpieced  it with a paper from the same cd The sentiment is from cd Candy Doodles Collectors edition . I just added some pearls.

Alethea - I decided to make a card with a different fold today just for a change! And I used some new stamps I got from Polka Doodles - Meeshelle from the Fairy Flutterfly Rubber Stamp Set and Maxine from the Fairy Flutterfly Rubber Stamp set. The papers are from my scrap stash and I found the perfect stamp sentiment in my collection for these two fab girls!!! I then added these fabulous dew drops that finished off the card perfectly!!

Patty - I decided to make a CAS card for a friend on her Anniversary! And I used some new stamps I got from Polka Doodles Federicka- and also use the sentiment from the Rubber Stamps set i got from Polka Doodles - Stamp Doodles. The papers are from my scrap stash and I found there perfect from the card  I then added these fabulous the Ribbon and few half pearl to finished off the card !!

How's that for some fabulous inspiration! You have until 12 noon GMT on Sunday 7 April to enter and good luck!
