Red Rubber Designs: Congrats!

Hi All,

The theme this week at Red Rubber Designs is graduation/good luck.  I decided to do a bright and fun card this week.  I am featuring 2 stamp sets Transportation and Savvy Sayings.  The designer cardstock is Hip Hop - love the colors in this collection.  Hip Hop is 9x9" cardstock, 11 different patterns and 1 sheet of die cuts.

The card was stamped on premium white cardstock with Giverny Green Palette ink.  The fun purple-blue-green dots are pieces from the die cut sheet included in the Hip Hop collection.  I popped the circles out, then I used the outline frame to draw the wheels on black cardstock.  They happened to be the perfect size.

DDH4 Challenge: Paper Piecing ~ Week 1




  Happy Monday!

Ready for a new DDH Challenge?  Our hostess for the next 2 weeks is Paula- Kay and our challenge is paper piecing.  I love paper piecing with rubber stamps - but digi's?

Here's how you do it...

I arranged my digi images in Word, scaled the images and saved the file.  Before printing the document I marked one corner, so I would know how to load the paper back into the printer.  I printed out the images on normal light weight copier paper.  Then I taped my patterned paper over the image with tape, choose one easy to remove like painters tape.  Loaded it back into the printer - taking note of my marked corner - then printed the document again.

Genius right?  Tiffany Doodles blog has a tutorial.

Then I cut out the sweater.  I cut out the bee too so I could color and paper piece it.  Here are my tools.

I've had lots of questions asking how I cut things out in such fine detail...Mini Kai Scissors - LOVE them!  They are razor sharp and you can turn without shreading the cardstock - great for a smooth edge.  They have a needle point which is useful, however caution should be used with these scissors.

I colored the bear and the bee.  Layered the sweater on the colored image and that is the magic of paper piecing - a great technique! 

Isn't it so Beary Sweet?

Supplies -- DDH Beary Sweet; Papers: TAC "Hip Hop" Fly with it collection, Bazzill Beeswax and Great Lakes; Copics: E21, E33, E37, E29, YG11, YG13, B32, B24, Y35, Y38, V09, W1; Mini Kai Scissors.

There will be a second post next Monday, April 25th on the DDH blog with more samples with Paper Piecing.  I will be posting another card idea next Monday.

We would love it if you played along!  This challenge is open for 2 weeks now until 6 pm (CST) Sunday, May 1st.  Visit DDH and add a link to your creation to our card gallery and you will have a chance to win a FREE DDH Digi!

We would love to see your card using a DDH Digi and paper piecing (faux in photoshop or real). Won't you join us?!?
