I'm showcasing the second card in this three-card set I made recently. The first one with FREE images, is in my previous post. This card offers a little lighter fare, but only in hue, not sweetness!
The card base is Early Espresso and layer 1 is Pink Pirouette, which has been embossed with the hearts folder. The overall sketch is similar to my previous card, but I reoriented it, and changed the details a bit. The patterned paper is another design from the same stash I had from My Favorite Things. I designed the images--the cupcake, the hearts and the sentiment and you can get them all FREE on the previous post.
I wanted to highlight the way you paper-piece when using digital images. It's so easy and much faster than stamping especially if your are mass producing as I do with Valentine cards.
To prepare for paper piecing, just copy and paste the image in the desired size as many times as needed and print on regular printer paper. Cut small pieces of patterned paper and very lightly adhere to the part of the design desired. Print again. This will print the image exactly where needed on smaller pieces of patterned paper minimizing waste.
Carefully pull off the patterned paper and cut out the part you want paper-pieced.
Adhere the paper-pieced patterned paper to the image and color in the remaining parts of the cupcake and heart embellies. Very simple, very fast.
Remember to pick up the FREE digi images in the previous post, and tune in Monday for a FREE tutorial on the third project in this group...a sweet little pocket card that super easy.
Have a sweet day!
