Welcome to the Paper Piecings By Nikki Design Team's November Blog Hop, "Thankful Hearts and Warm Winter Wishes". We are so very thankful for all our fans. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. So grab a cup of hot cocoa and hop along with us. We are hoping to inspire all of you with some Paper Piecing Fun!
If you've arrived here from Nikki then you are in the right spot. If you'd like to start at the very beginning, you can start at Nikki's blog. www.paperpiecingsbynikki.blogspot.com
For my project today, I created these cards using the snowglobe file. I used the same file and made it three different ways.
This is my first attempt. I printed out the PDF file and cut it out by hand - then pieced it. I used some velum for the glass globe and filled it with sparkly chunky glitter. But, I wasn't quite happy with it...so...
Next, I tried the print and cut option with my cameo. I had some thick clear poly/plastic that I had saved from packaging and placed it over the globe...in person it is just like glass and I'm pretty pleased with how it came out...but I still wanted to 'piece' the file....so...
I cut out the pieces on my Silhouette cameo and then pieced them all together. I added stickles and some more accents and then placed the same heavy poly/plastic from packaging over it like a globe.
You can see that what ever option you use in cutting out Nikki's files - you will get a different look. I'm really not sure which I like the best...but I do know I had a whole lot of fun creating them for you!
