Primitive Angel digital stamp Christmas card – Catch the Bug Christmas Chaos #3

Step card with Bugaboo Christmas Prim Angel digital stamp, by Paperesse.

Today it's a French card for you. I've been so busy trying to finish cards going back to the States that I haven't done my French ones yet. It's no big deal though, even if they're received after Christmas they won't be late. Most people here send Meilleurs Voeux  (Best Wishes) cards that arrive around the New Year.


I've used the Bugaboo Christmas Prim Angel digistamp as my focal image and in keeping with the primitive aspect of it, decided to do some paper piecing to resemble fabric. I like paper piecing for the look of cloth, like this dress and mannequin card.


I chose Troutkings BTN font for my sentiment tag. 

*Crafty Tip* The best glue for paper piecing is Yes Stickflat Glue. Why? Because it doesn't dry immediately and you've got a few seconds to slide your paper around to fit. Apply it with a brush to the main base item you are gluing to, NOT the back of the item you are are gluing. It's much easier to do that than to try and apply glue to the back of small cut pieces. It also keeps your desk top clean and prevents glue from accidentally getting on the front of whatever it is you're gluing. 'Yes' dries clear, but it does leave a residue. If you are gluing a solid color and got some on the front, you might see it after it dried.
