I haven't done much (if any) paper piecing but it was nice and surprisingly easy (now why did I think it might be hard in the first place, silly me) and I'm really pleased with the result. I used HOTP tag templates to help cut out the tags as well as the shapes for the plaster (I took a banner as a starting point and stretched or shrunk it as needed. The white dots I scavenged from my ordinary office hole punch. Again, some ink on the edges for definition. I used my trusty Dymo for the greeting, but there was a catch: it does not include an aposthrope. After a bit of pondering I took a piercing tool and use it to press the marks like Dymo would. This was my first time with staples as well and I found them actually quite nice. Must make a mental note to use them more often.
