Picking Rubber Stamps for Layering and Paper Piecing Projects
The best rubber stamps to use in paper piecing projects are bold designs with distinct sections. It is important that different sections can be cut from the stamped image therefore strong outlines are also useful. Very complex designs can look effective, however these entail a lot of cutting which is often best completed with a craft knife.
Good stamps for this technique include character stamps which allow heads and limbs to be cut out and attached separately. Flower stamps are also good as the petals can be built up top give the project added dimension.
