Stampin' Up! Let's try a new Technique

 

Popping In with New Ways to Paper Piece

Adhesive Sheets can be handy for many things—but have you ever thought of using them to simplify a paper-piecing project? Their gentle stickiness makes it easy to add cardstock, then die cut into lovely shapes to create an instant embellishment or focal point. It’s impossible not to get “carried away” by these paper-pieced balloons! Our advice? File this project away (or share it on social media!) as a budget-friendly way to use all those paper strips in your scrap stash. Give it a try with all of your scrap stash and make beautiful cards. If you would like a copy of the PDF file, just email me and I will send it to you. Thanks for stopping in.
