Let's take a look at a couple of other delightful ways to use the paper piecing stamping technique!

Lisa used the brand new Make Yourself at Home stamp set to create this delightful paper pieced scene. I'd love to sit a spell in the light of that cute green polka dotted floor lamp!

Inge added a pretty polka dotted dress for the giant pencil-wielding cutie from the Straight to the Point stamp set and Die-namics. I love how she added some lavender to the collar of her dress with a marker for extra detail and to tie it into the rest of her design.
