Beautiful Ordinary Life

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Nested Essentials Dies

Today I am participating in the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This months theme is Paper Piecing. I couldn't find a name for this pattern, so if you know it.... drop me a note in the comments. Be sure to visit each of the live links listed below the tutorial, to see everyones version of Paper Piecing.

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Nested Essentials Dies

I chose 5 different prints from the Beautiful Ordinary Life 12" x 12" DSP. I love how well they coordinate!! I kept a 1/16" gap between the 1/2" wide strips for a super clean appearance. I used Stampin' Seal, just to speed the process along, but the multipurpose glue would work just as well. I needed a card to send to a friend that is going through a difficult patch.... and the sentiments from Prayers & Promises were just perfect.
