Paper Pieced Flowers – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on June 2, 2026May 24, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing the paper piecing technique. This is one of my favourite techniques which is odd as I am not a big fan of fussy cutting, but it is so effective. I have used the Flowers Fair stamp set and the Kintsugi Inspirations dsp to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the Paper Pieced Flowers card using the following supplies:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼“by 3½”
Secret Sea – 2⅜” by ⅜
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Kintsugi Inspirations dsp

I mounted the large Flowers Fair stamp onto the plate of the Stampin’ Positioner, inked it up with Secret Sea ink and stamped it onto the 5¼“by 3½” panel of Basic White card. I also stamped the image onto the Stampin’ Positioner gird paper.

I used the Soft Sea Foam Blends Pens to colour in all the leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Flowers Fair stamp set used with the Kintsugi Inspiration designer series paper to make a paper pieced card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I selected the two patterns of Kintsugi Inspirations designer series paper from my scraps. Taking one Cloud Cover pattern I cut it into smaller pieces, placed them over the relevant flowers, inked up the stamp and stamped down onto the scraps. The flowers were then fussy cut.

I repeated this step with the Petal Pink dsp and the smaller flowers and fussy cut them out.

The fussy cut flowers were then placed over the identical flowers on the stamped panel. I lifted some of the larger ones on Dimensionals, the rest were glued into position. The smaller flowers were then added with Liquid Adhesive.

I used the Light Secret Sea Blends Pen to colour in the centres of the smaller petal pink flowers before the whole panel was adhered to the Secret Sea panel and then to the Petal Pink card base.
