Paper Piecing Tutorial

Supplies

• Kallioppe (2x2, 2x4 acrylic handles)
• Uptown Girl Wing It™ Kit
• White cardstock
  
• Black ink
  
• Mega rectangle punch (or you can trim pieces to 1-1/8” x 2-1/4”)
• Silver leafing pen
• Silver Stickles
• Black marker
• Gray marker
• Scissors
• Dry adhesive
• Pop dots
• Paper trimmer
• Scratch pad

Instructions

1. Shake the leafing pen well with the cap on. Remove cap, and press the marker tip up and down several times on scratch paper to start the paint flowing.
2. Place a 4” x 5.25” panel from the Uptown Girl paper on the scratchpad. Line up the flat side of the leafing pen with about half the marker tip on the edge of panel and half on the scratch paper. Draw a straight line along the edge of the panel. You should have an even silver border. Pick up the panel and turn it to do the next side, till all four sides are complete. Let dry.
3. Ink the lady holding the purse from the Kallioppe stamp set with black ink and stamp her once on a 2” x 3” white rectangle, and once on the dot/stripe print from Uptown Girl. Let dry.
4. Stamp the shoe greeting on a rectangle punched from Uptown Girl. Let dry.
5. Being careful to cut directly on the black stamped line, cut out just the dress from the dot/stripe stamped image. Don’t worry about the curls on the design. You’ll want just the dress as shown. For best results, turn the paper and keep the scissors straight as you cut.
6. Apply a bit of adhesive to the printed dress and adhere it to the stamped image on the white cardstock. It should line up perfectly. If you have any scissor marks showing, fill them in with black marker.
7. Outline the entire image with the brush side of the gray marker.
8. As in step 2, use the silver leafing pen to outline the white stamped image and the greeting. Let dry.
9. Adhere the 4” x 5.25” to the white card base, leaving an even border around all sides.
10. Adhere the white image to the card as shown.
11. Use pop dots to adhere the greeting as shown.
12. Add silver Stickles glitter glue (up and down motion makes dots, or smear slightly for more coverage) to accent your card. I added glitter to the woman’s flowers, shoes, nails and purse, the letters on the words “shoes” and “skinny,” and finally the horizontal line that goes across the card on the printed panel. Be sure to let the Stickles dry completely.
