Hello crafty friends,
I’m sharing some new to me crafty stash today.
A useful Happy Birthday background stamp, and a cute little die of presents, Doodled Gifts,
Ideal for paper piecing!
I thought I’d be clever…..cut 3 lots of paper, mix ‘em up and have 3 cards, simple..
…….NOT when you don’t plan it out properly,
Ended up with two colours the same, hence had to use an insert from card, not paper, doh.
This was my first trial make….
A great way of using up lots of your paper snippets, albeit fiddly,
but I do a lot of faffing, so that’s ok.
I also used up some old matt dots that coordinated.
I’m so happy, I’m skipping over to the
(for using snippets)
and
(for never before used schtuff)
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

A great and useful background stamp and I love the way you've paper pieced the parcels. Again the die looks like a good one to own as well for using up snippets of paper and card. Super cards.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Lesley - LOVE both the stamp and the die you used. I bet these would be good for 'Batch Making'!

Well done using your snippets and your NBUS, Lesley! It's a fab design with the words being both sediments and background and I love the paper-piecing! I don't mind a bit of faffing and puzzling, so I find it relaxing. Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThey all look great. I have that background stamp and a parcel die from Gummiapan but not this set. Maybe I can improvise lol!
