Under the Clouds

May 27, 2025 | Lisa K

Creating a card for the alpha challenge allowed me to enter it in other challenges.

This is such a fun image. This little chick is from Unity Stamp Company. I have no idea what it is called as I couldn’t find it on the website. The samples on Pinterest just called it a chick.

I have found several challenges I am entering this in. I know this chick has wings, so we will say the wings are hidden. The Cardz 4 Galz contest wants winged things. The As You See It challenge wants spots. The Word Art Wednesday is anything goes. The Stencil Fun challenge is for any kind of stencil.

I chose to paper piece this cute chick using MFT patterned paper, mostly. The orange piece on the umbrella is from Echo Park. The stencil I used is from Lawn Fawn, inked with Lawn Fawn ink.

It was fun to create something different, for me. Usually I am coloring the image and adding layers, so masking, stenciling, and then paper piecing was enjoyable. Thank you for reading my post. Hope you are having an enjoyable day!

Fall Bear

I created a Bear card with paper piecing and embossing.

I used a Darice embossing folder for the leaf background. The bear and pumpkins are from Gerda Steiner Designs Pumpkin Bear. The greeting and shadow are Gina K Designs Give Thanks. I paper pieced the pumpkin with Echo Park Celebrate Autumn set.

Paper Pieced Tulip Re-Do

I made this card for the Gina K Designs Monthly Mix Challenge.

Stamp sets used: Tropical Blooms, A Beautiful Life

The paper is Lawn Fawn, Gotta Have Gingham (retired). I added the black layer when it the frame looked odd on the blue background. The black made a difference. The card base is My Favorite Things card stock. I have a set of many colors and just flip through till I have a match.

Here is the card I made last year with this stamp set.

Thanks for looking.

Paper Piecing Hello Pumpkin

September 28, 2019 | Lisa K

Having fun with a new Gerda Steiner Designs stamp.

I used a Darice embossing folder for the tree. It is cut from SU Chocolate Chip cardstock, with the leaves colored with several markers laying close. I used Celebrate Autumn from Echo Park for the paper piecing. The bear is colored with various alcohol markers. This was fun to create. It has been quite a while since I paper pieced. I will post this to Gerda Steiner Designs challenge for September.
