As I explained above, this card was made using only items from the Krafty Kardmaking Kit. I did use the MFT Snowflakes and Open Double Scallop Border Die-namics to accent my card. My image is called Grace, and she was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and then colored with Copics.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out my teammates AMAZING work using their portion of this month's kit!

TCP Tuesday-Paper Piecing!

Hey everyone, it is Tuesday - TCP Tuesday to be exact!  This month Alma's challenged us to do some paper piecing!! I love paper piecing, always have, so I couldn't wait to play along!!

I created this card using the new One Cupcake set. I paper pieced the cupcake holder with some MME Quite Contrary paper, then colored the rest with my Copics. I used some Lemon Tart paper from PTI, paired with Smooth White and Berrylicious from My Favorite Things. My buttons and ribbon are all from MFT as well: Sweet Tooth(both button and grosgrain), Banana Split, and Berrylicious. To finish off my buttons, I added some Hemp Cord. For the background of my card, I used the new Chevron Cutups die from The Cat's Pajamas as well. 

Now, head on over to the TCP Forum at Splitcoaststampers and check out the thread for this month's challenge, we'd love to see your fun paper pieced cards! You may even earn yourself the Swanky Stamper title this month!
