i like the diagonal striped cards. its great fun using up scraps. Narrow scraps placed in a quilting pattern make great men's card trims or card bases.

Lovely .Also looks nice if you leave slight gaps between & then use glitter as a ' grout ' ( obviously would have to preglue the the card )

This can be adapted for a scrapbook layout. Simple but effective.

I was watching a lady making a quilt and I thought to myself, I can't quilt with fabric, but I do have lots of scrap papers from my card making so I will try with that. I love making them and even did some just to hang on the panes of my door leading from the sun room to the screened porch. They look so petty. Yours turned out just beautiful, I love both styles. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.

Get one of those LED light strips to light up the working area of a sewing machine. You do need to plug it in, but what a difference! Inexpensive, too! I just keep a plug strip on my worktable, anyway, for all sorts of helpers I need to plug in. Thanks for the ideas! I need to get my mojo back! It disappeared last month.: /

When I make card bases for blocks rather than strips, but again mine are usually smaller than yours, I often draw a black or white ‘stitch’ around each piece to give a sewn patchwork effect tfs

I have been doing this for a couple of years but most of my strips are narrower. I keep all my long scraps and then sit with my lap tray during the evenings and make up these card bases. I often add a strip of gold or silver mirri for added texture. Red and green are good for Christmas card bases tfs

@mawmawvee Жыл бұрын

The first time I saw the paper-piecing done was many, many years ago on Stubby Stampers and one of the members was making backgrounds with paper strips out of Christmas wrapping paper scraps. They looked to pretty because some of the scraps had some gold, or other metallic glints on them. Jambalaya was using those labels that come with charity return address labels on the self-stick sheets. Jam would remove the backing on the larger pieces and adhere the strips to that. When the strips had all been attached down, she would simply adhere the whole thing to a card blank, using tapes of one kind or another. I can't recall if she ever used glue. The backgrounds sure were pretty. I never saw her use the blocking technique, but I like that a lot, as well. She loves purples and I bet she would have loved your purple-blocked card. I certainly do. If I HAD to pick a fav, it would be that card, but I still love all of the rest as well. Happy stamping, Y'all!!! 😍😍😍

Love this idea. Why would you not put your tape strip down on the card base rather than on each paper strip?
