Paper Piecing And Pixies


Hi crafters!  Paper piecing is an easy technique and you can even create a quick and beautiful card with the right design.  The Feather Leaf Frond and Pixie powders make a perfect combination for this technique!

























The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8" in size.  All for now. Sue x

    Hi Sue. I have watched the video and seen that actually this card is quite straight forward to make. Love the way that you have used the white outline if the die with the white card but I also think that the outline could also be made out of a different colour.

    Hi Sue, when I read 'paper piecing' I thought oh no! not all those tiny pieces :-) but having watched the video I am relieved to see that it is much easier than that. The fronds make a great background and who doesn't love a hug even if it is virtual.
