fussy cutting and paper piecing

I have quite a few cards to share with you and this first one is for the newest challenge on my friend Yvonne's blog. Her guest designer this week is non other than Laurel Seabrook and she is challenging us to create a card or layout and do some paper piecing and fussy cutting.

Well you know that is a challenge that is right up my alley.


For my card I used a pure innocence stamp by MFT called "better get better" and I paper pieced and fussy cut all of the clothing and bear. The paper used is by MME fromt he Stella and Rose collection called "Gertie". Buttons are BasicGrey from my stash.

This next card is one of my favorites this week and I used a new digi image from Pixie Studios. I love the little girl images with the big eyes and I bought two different ones.


I also used some Washi tape, Cosmo Cricket "tiny type" stickers, Martha Stewart snowflake punch and my labels eight die to cut out the card.

Next up are a couple more digital images and these were bought over at Pink Petticoat another favorite digi supplier of mine.


Isn't this sewing machine just fabulous. With the digi set I got two different sewing machines and 4 different verses. I love the fact that you always get a mixture of images and sayings. Papers are also from the MME "Gertie" collection and buttons are from my stash.

This last card is also by Pink Petticoat and uses an amazing typewriter image. It comes with the typewriter and a full page of sentiments to put either on the typewriter or on the card.


I kept this card fairly simple and after coloring the typewriter I just added some Cosmo Cricket "tiny type" stickers and a little gloss enamel.

So which is your favorite?

Enjoy!
