It's my turn to post a Project of the Week for The House That Stamps Built. Paper piecing is not a new technique by any means, but I thought I would share a few hints and tips that I like to use. Here's what you need:
-your image
-card stock and patterned paper
-scissors (I like to use these scissors with little tiny blades, it helps maneuver around the image better) and I also used a craft knife for the little details
-a black marker
-ink
I hope this encourages you to use the paper piecing technique, and hopefully my tips help a little bit. Thanks for stopping by!

Great tutorial with some very helpful hints.
Super card Heather! Paper piecing is such a fun way to use up snippets, and I thought I had it cracked as I do all the tips you pointed out. APART from, colouring round the inside edge of the image you intend to stick the patterned paper to! I read it a couple of times as I do run a black marker (never use a Pro Marker as it bleeds - ask me how I know this!) around the fussy cut patterned paper. But what a great idea - thank you so much for the extra tip! You really are a clever little sausage :)
