Paper Piercing - what is it? Details please...

[buffy0214]

Here's a page I did with a stitch theme. I found a "coloring book" page of Stitch online and printed it out on different colors of CS (blue, light blue, dk blue, and pink). Then I cut and pieced the character together and added white for the teeth using a pen. I popped his nose out using a pop dot. The space paper was purchased at Disney World.



Since you already have the coloring book, you would first make a copy of a character. The black lines are already there. (if you are doing the carbon thing then you would go over your carbon marks with black pen.) Then you can resize it as needed. Decide how many colors you want to use. Print the character out on each color. Cut out the pieces. I usually pick the cardstock that is the main color (like cream for princess) and build the pieces on top of it (Add hair, dress). You can "pop" the pieces out to make them more dimensional. Think if you were to walk up to character what would be the first thing you would run into (with Stitch it would be his nose) and make that the topmost piece.

Good luck. It does become addicting...

Do you use sm scissors or exacto to cut the small pieces?

I'm most comfortable with scissors.

That is so cute! I recently bought a Disney coloring book, and as soon as I have some extra time, I'm going to attempt it! What kind of scissors do you use?

That is such a cool Stitch! I have to go into town later on so I'll have a look for some cheap Disney colouring books.

There is a thing called paper piercing but it is something different. Although I have taked some colorbook images and pierced a pattern of them to use as a background on a page.

Oh..I piecing! See I am a newbie!
This sounds great. I would love to see samples of this. I have the colouring book and would love to try this. Thanks for your explanation!

That elephant is great. What company made the leaf die cuts?

I have a paper piecing on one of my LO's here:

The elephant image was a coloring in image from a kids website that you could print off. I printed him 3 times, twice on the grey card and once on white paper. Onr the 1st grey print I cut out all of him, on the second just his head. I then used some sticky foam (so it would be raised up) to attach his head piece onto the top of the body piece, the trick is aligning them perfectly! With the white copy I only cut out the tusks and just stuck them directly over the tusks on the head piece.

Hope that makes it a little easier to understand!?!
