Melissa, this is my favorite thing to do and I also find it very relaxing. I am so glad you did a video on this so that others can enjoy paper piecing as much as I ,or we do. Your card is just beautiful! I pray while I fussy cut. TFS
WOWZERS! This card is GORGEOUS!!! LOVE the mix of patterned papers and the layering in the center of the flower! Paper piecing is also one of my very favorite techniques!! Thanks for a great video!!!
Absolutely beautiful Melissa, THANK YOU!
I’ve wondered how you created those beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing this technique. I also love watching how you embellish to create your signature look. Amazing, as always. I LOVE your work.
Beautiful card! Great video Melis! 🙂
You did not disappoint us Melissa! Beautiful!
Great MIM video! Melissa did such an awesome job in both her design and video instruction. Thank you Melissa!
The Paper Piecing was fun to watch but Melissa puts so much more into every card she makes. The details she adds like the lace leaves, buttons, ribbon adds so much more life to a seemingly simple card. Her cards are not simple in the least, every card she makes has exquisite details. Enjoyed the video!!
Thank you Melissa, I have so often wondered how to do this, you made it look so easy , I can’t wait to try it. Your card is lovely.
AMAZING!! I think I NEED this stamp set!!=)
