Paper Pieced Hearts JUGS 223

Hi, my name is Traci and I am a Stamp YouTube Video-aholic. I am addicted to those instructive, beautifly stamped craft items.  I knew it was a problem when I was watching more than doing.  And those scraps don't get used up on their own, do they?  Some good has come from these videos, especially when I was in bed with the flu last week.  Let me show you the one that totally 'freed' me from my scraps.

All I can say is, Thank you so much Sandy!  Now my scraps are manageable. By cutting them into strips and I will eventually get them organized by color, it made it super easy to make this card.  I got the inspiration from Jennifer McGuire, but was unable to upload her video.  I am entering it in the Just Us Girls Challedn 223.  This week's technique is Paper Piecing.



First I used what scrap piece of cs I had on my workstation, which happened to be a white circle.  I chose some coordinating colors that didn't scream Valentine's but gave the sentiment of love.  And of course, you knew that I had to have green.  I cut my strips into thinner strips and glued them on top of the circle.  I used a glue stick on the circle, all over the circle.  I laid the thin strips in random order.  I used my brand new die from Lawn Fawn, Hearts.  There are 6 sizes of hearts in this set.  I chose not to separate the dies in fear on losing one or two because a couple of them are pretty small. Because I didn't separate them the stripes are all different, which is rather cool.  I die cut some pink hearts too and arranged them on my card.  My sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I love that ampersand!  The inside has white CS with pink hearts to echo what's going on on the front.

Thanks for stopping by!
