Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Paper Piecing

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop for August. 

This month we are featuring paper piecing as our theme. I instantly thought of piecing a quilt together and set about to recreate a quilted look using the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I have made many quilts over the years. Another hobby I enjoy is patchwork and quilting and combining the two.

I have used a stitched square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut my squares and have glued them to a piece of Night of Navy card stock leaving a border around each piece. The I glued this to a piece of Basic White card stock then ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder to create a quilted look. Then adhering it to a Basic White card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lasting Joy stamp set in Versamark™ ink on a piece of Night of Navy card stock before sprinkling with White Embossing Powder and setting with the heat tool. Then I die cut the sentiment with a die from the Countryside Corners Dies.

I cut the Night of Navy Bordered ribbon in half and tied both pieces in a bow and also a length of the White Twine in a bow (inspired by the amazing Tammy Wilson) before adhering to the right hand side of the card front using Seal+ before adhereing the sentiment on top with Dimensionals. Then adhered three of the Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems around the sentiment.
