At Just Add Ink this week we are asking you to add paper piecing to your projects. As luck would have it, the perfect products for our challenge arrived in my latest Stampin' Up! order. The Stitched Stocking bundle has gorgeous patchwork-inspired dies. Absolutely perfect for the paper piecing brief!

All I had to do was die cut 2 of the patchwork strips, one in Basic White and one in Gold Foil and then inlay one into the other. I'll end up with a second card (which is currently in pieces somewhere on my craft desk) which will be the opposite colour way.

I added a strip of cardstock underneath the die cut strip so that the inlaid pieces had something to be adhered to. The putty end of the Take-your-pick Tool is perfect to use to pick up the tiny pieces!

The card looked quite elegant without any Designer Series Paper but I decided to add a bit of extra lusciousness with some pleating. The Neutral Noel DSP was perfect!

The inside of my card has some extra details as well. I haven't paper pieced as such, more like cheat's paper piecing! Adding the Coastal Cabana mat under the Basic White piece really shows off the die cut row of trees.

Make sure you pop on over to the Just Add Ink page to see how all the other Design Team members added paper piecing to their projects. Why not enter your own creation? We always love seeing them!
