You want a piece of me? Or a piece of blog candy?

When Rupa Shevde sent me the images for her newest stamps set, Retro Boutique, I thought that the dress just begged to be paper pieced but I had never done it before. I saw how beautifully many of the members of my design team pieced this dress and the purses. So, I took a shot at it.

Like most techniques, paper piecing looks a lot harder than it is. I promise I will post a tutorial on it and when you see how easy it is, you might just want to paper piece every card you make!



This project uses the newest Basic Grey patterned paper pack called "Euphoria" along with Euphoria fibers and Euphoria Glazed brads.

And now, you can purchase all 7 styles of Basic Grey 6 X 6 patterned paper packs and embellishments in our online store! These little paper packs are the perfect size for card makers and they are only $5.95 each.  Using just one 6 X 6 sheet, there is enough to do a whole background piece plus just enough left over for the perfect accent piece on another project or for paper piecing smaller images.

Here is an up close view of these scrumptious glazed brads, fibers and my paper pieced dress.
