Ok, so today I tried to paper piece.....ended up cutting off the piece I had just sewn on when I trimed the seam to a 1/4". So I thought I'll sew that seam again and you guessed it....I cut the blasted thing off again. I have a mental block when it comes to paper piecing. It's not like I didn't have the directions in front of me either.

I enjoy doing paper piecing and thought maybe some of you guys would like to see some of the greeting cards I have made with paper piecing.
I frame the sewn pictures in cut out frames and usually use card index stock for the paper but I have used scrapbook papers too or have used homemade paper but that is a lot of work and I usually make the cards on the stir of the moment.

Here are a few more. I like to embellish the paper piecing with embrodery. On the cuppa card I stitched some steam coming out of the cup, but it didn't show up. But the flower does show up on the Valentines.
This was an invitation for Thanksgiving last year. I glued some dried herbs for the turkey bait

I also use this heart design for birthdays, etc.

I have a few more examples. The Friendship star is just a reminder to me to be more careful wtih sewing. LOL I use a card making program and print them before cutting out the frame.. I got one of those square paper punches at Joanns or sometimes I cut out the openings with an Xacto knife.
The spool of thread is also very easy to make.
