Hello, Honey Bee friends!! Today I'm sharing this fun card that features the wonderful Lovely Layers: Picnic Table Honey Cuts and some pretty papers from the Summer Picnic paper pad.
I started out by die cutting the pieces I chose from the Lovely Layers: Picnic Table dies. I cut the pieces from brown cardstock (for the table) and white cardstock for the others. I used my Copic markers to color the white cardstock and to add shading to the brown cardstock for the picnic table.
Next I chose two more papers from the Summer Picnic paper pad and cut out the tablecloth and the umbrella. I cut the umbrella once more from white cardstock. Just like I did on my previous blog post, I cut apart the patterned paper umbrella with my scissors and glued three of the patterned paper pieces to the white umbrella. Paper piecing is so fun!
For the A2 card base, I cut one of the Summer Picnic papers into 4-¼" x 5-½". It's really nice to be able to get two card layers from one sheet of paper! I used Bee Creative Glue to adhere this to my A2 card base.
Next I played around arranging my Lovely Layers: Picnic Table pieces. When I found an arrangement I like, I used glue and foam tape and foam Honeycomb to adhere the pieces to the card base.
The sentiment is from the Sweetest Bunch stamp set. I stamped it with black pigment ink and cut it out with the coordinating Sweetest Bunch die.
Have you tried paper piecing? I highly recommend it. You can really create a different look for your die cuts by paper piecing!
Thanks so very much for stopping by! I hope your week has been a good one so far!
