Paper Pieced Posies

I did a paper piecing project for the blog at Scrap-Mart and thought I’d share them here as well.

I really enjoy paper piecing. I can cut the pieces out while I watch the news and feel like I got two things done at once! All the papers on this card are Sassafrass Lass. The flowers are from Unity’s Material Girl stamp set and the heart from their “Stitched Greetings” set. The label is a Scrap-Mart Exclusive die from Spellbinders that’s quickly becoming a favorite. The sentiment (“Birthday Bash Sentiments”), cardstock and twine are both from Papertrey Ink. 

This is another Sassafrass Lass project. I didn’t realize at first that the scalloped border was little owl images. Quite the surprise, but they seem to work just fine. The posie on this card is one from Jillibean’s “Sending Thoughts.”  A little layering, two layered buttons, and a tag finished it off. The cardstock and sentiment are Papertrey Ink, ribbon and buttons from my stash. Years ago a friend gave me a tool that cuts off the shanks of buttons. It’s the best little device and allows you to layer buttons like the fancy metal one.
