Paper Pieced Digi stamp Birthday Card

This card had a lot of firsts for me, but I am thrilled with the outcome and I discovered new techniques. I printed the cupcake pattern on patterned paper (had to cut down 12"x12" sheets to 8 1/2" x 11" so it would fit into the printer).

Then I got to cutting, I cut apart each layer of icing and the cupcake liner. I used the white version as the base and colored in the cake, flowers, and inner ear with my Tombow markers. I wanted the horn and ears to sparkle so I taped (with painters tape) scrap pieces of glitter cardstock to a white piece of cardstock postioned were the horn and ears would print, this worked great and now I know I can use small pieces of patterned paper instead of a full sheet (8 1/2 x 11). 

After I had all my pieces cut out I simply glued them into place, die cut some layered mats and embellished with a flower punch. Now that I know how to print desired pieces with my digi stamp and printer, I will do more paper pieced cards.
