Gorjuss Paper Piecing

Well hello my lovely crafters

Hello to Friday again, time for another wee post from me Mel and this week I have gone with an oldie but a goody for you all

Using another of my Gorjuss Girl stamps I decided to do a little paper piecing. I haven't done this for ages and for got how simple it was and how much fun.

Firstly I made a simple layout on my card blank with my American Crafts Shoreline papers and some ribbon from my stash. I also outlined all the papers with a red alcohol marker

I then stamped out my lovely little Puddles of love stamp onto some more of the pattern papers and my white cardstock. I then cut out the different parts I wanted in pattern paper

After colouring my image with alcohol markers I then paper pieced the pieces into place. You can see below I paper pieced the jacket, umbrella and boots

Next I cut out the image leaving a tiny small white border before adding foam pads to the back and sticking down on the card. Lastly I added a little sentiment and some embellishments I had in my stash

and thats it finished!!

A really quick simple card that brings all your beautiful papers together

Well thats me TTFN

           

Use those Scraps

Good morning lovelies

Its that time on Friday again so its Mel here and this week I have decide to share how easy it is too make some quick cards using up scraps! We all have them and so why not use them and create some of those "last minute" we're always needing cards!

The papers scraps I used are Hey Boy from Basic Grey and some cream coloured 5x5 card blanks I had lying around! I wanted to show how easy it is to use up the little scraps you always have left over when you use up most of your paper pad

This wee star card was made from using paper strips about 2cm wide stuck down directly onto the card blank. Next I took the card blanks and cut off one of the fronts and run it through my Silhouette Cameo to get the stars. The using foam pads I stuck it over the papers, just so they peeked through. Added some Hey You stickers, some twine and some enamel dots to finish it off

I made this wee card using one of only a few left over full sheets to make the background paper next added a wee Polaroid shape cut in my cameo stuck with foam pads. I then stamp out Gorjuss Girl- The Lost heart with tuxedo black Memento ink and coloured with Promarkers, before embellishing with some of the cut out stars, twine and more Hey You stickers

Lastly I mad this wee card using lots of the scraps making ribbon style panels, some circles with my dies cutting machine a dies. Adding buttons from my stash with the some twine, some brads I had lying around and Hey You stickers

I hope these wee cards influence you to use on your scraps. Just added some extras from your stash, you can make simple "scrap" cards stand out!

Will till next time
