Welcome friends and Happy Independence Day! I am honored and excited to be participating in today's hop with our good friends at Tombow. If you've just happened on my post or find yourself lost you'll find the the start of the hop at...
The card I have to share with you today is created with the Stampers Best Hero Panels stamp. This is one of many OWH Fundraiser stamps by Stampers Best, which means OWH gets $1 for every one sold. I used Tombow Permanent Adhesive, Power Adhesive Tabs and Mono Multi Liquid Glue to put it all together.
Just a tiny dab (the precision tip end is terrific) of the Tombo Mono Multi Liquid Glue was all it took to make sure that little silver star embellishment stayed right where I wanted it. I also used a small dab, as I always do, under my bows to keep them place.
Many thanks to our friends over at Tombow for supporting OWH and partnering with us for today's hop. Pictured below are the products I used today so you will know just what to look for the next time you're doing a little crafty shopping. I encourage you to check out their entire line of adhesives and drawing products at their website too.
Thank you so much for stopping by to see me today. I hope you have a fantastic weekend among family and friends and that you'll take a moment to reflect on all those in our Armed Forces who sacrifice each and every day for the rest of us.
Now head on over to your next hop stop and see the crafty goodness that Jennie has in store for you today at...

Great paper piecing, not sure I would have ever thought to stamp could be pieced, but you've done a great job. Also love the background of stars.
Paula... I LOVE your card . I have never thought about paper piecing that stamp... what a fantabulous idea. Thanks for sharing. My email is. sapperiam at gmail dot com. Happy 4th of July.

Oh Paula... I love your fussy cut details. So much love (and great glue.. Haha) was poured into this card! I love hose tabs, too. Thanks for sharing! This is such a stellar use of that image. Love it! Happy 4th to you!!!
Just love this card! It bring together so many great images to represent our freedoms! And Thanks to Tombow for all their support!
Super cute ideas….I'm married to an active duty Airman and have recieved cards from OWH from him while deployed. Not sure if I have the skill to paper piece all that you did but it sure is a super cute card for someone special! 4gsnva@gmail.com
Awesome card, Paula! I had never thought of paper piecing that stamp but I love the way it looks! Thanks for the idea! And thanks so much for participating in our hop today!
Thank you for the tutorial! I liked how you took the pictures to also show the dimensions. This looked like a lot more work until I realized you had a stamp for it! I will have look for that stamp now! Loved what you did! Radloff jen at cable one dot net
Thanks for the great directions for your card- the paper piecing is outstanding! I have that stamp and now I know what to do with it!
Wow! Paula, that is an awesome patriotic card. I love the piecing you did on it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! The thought of paper piecing a large image like that is daunting but you did a fantastic job. I have never seen the Tombow power tabs before. I'm going to look for those while I'm out and about.
Paula,
Loved the 4th of July card! What an interesting way to do the "hero" on your card! Vey unique. Thanks for sharing. Happy 4th!
As always you did a wonderful card. I like the paper piecing idea.

Piecing? Never even occurred to me for this stamp! Lovely job, this is so beautiful! But then your work always inspires me, Paula! Happy 4th!!
Love the paper piecing! :) A little fussy cutting with a cup of coffee is my favorite.
:)
Great card. Very good idea, paper piercing the middle part of the stamped image. You did a terriffic job with that stamp.
I dont think I have seen the liquid tombow but use the tape runners.
Paula...super duper card! Yikes...gonna have to have this stamp now. I love to paper piece. Thanks for the enabling and the chance to win a box of goodies!!!
Awesome paper-piecing on this truly wonderful card. Love it.
love the paper piecing!

You always inspire us with your great cards and ideas like paper piecing this stamp...terrific! Thanks for all you do for OWH, and especially the monthly bootcamp which provides the important basics for all art forms.
Lovely job, as always! I love the stamp you chose and the blue DP, especially. Thanks for all the tips, the chance to win (fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed--gonna be super hard to craft, huh?!) and for sharing this great card! Happy 4th. RBBRRMWN at YAHOO dot COM
This idea is sooo... cool. I have that stamp and would never have thought to use this technique. What a beautiful card!

Love the stamps and design of your card. Good job!!! starshine5@att.net
Loving the crafty genius! I too like the ATG, but it can't easily adhere the smaller paper pieces and embellies on a card. I've also had problems finding adhesives to permanently affix those smaller embellishments to my OWH cards. I've even had to break out my super glue! Thanks for sharing that Tombow has that permanent adhesive for just such projects.
Thanks for the directions
Thank you for detailing how/why you used each adhesive - as a newbie to card-making, I'm a little overwhelmed by the selections! - and also showing a picture of the product used.
Great card! You have tons of talent!
Aimee
Spectacular card! I love the panels and thanks for showing us how to make the HERO stand out!
Great Card!
I have a # of SD OWH stamps but not this one. Now that I see how wonderful you did with the piecing I want it!
What a great idea to do paper-piecing with that stamp! Thanks! I love the card!

I always forget about the paper piecing, but I'm not sure my stamps are the best for that, but I'm going to give it a try. jellybean_82@cox.net
Gorgeous card, love the paper piecing I would of never thought to do that. I have that stamp so now i have a good idea how to do different things with it. thanks Mary L Schreiber
It's always wonderful seeing so many long-time supporters of OWH in the skips and hops. I really look forward to your cards as well as all of the wonderful projects like the bootcamp you do for OWH. Do you ever sleep???
I love this card and what you did with this awesome Stamper's Best image. The details that you put into your cards are always a hit with me. I haven't paper pieced much lately (or done much thanks to my broken right hand), but after seeing what a difference it made here, I must go back to the basics instead of trying everything new that comes around. Thanks again for everything thta you do for OWH! You're such a blessing to the troops as well as the cardmakers who rely on you at OWH. Have a fabulous 4th of July!!!
Paula, I always enjoy seeing your work. You did a great job with the paper piecing. Tombow mono is great for all of those really tiny spots. Love using it. avtaft at aol

It took a bit to see the word "Hero", but when I did, I was amazed at the work you did! Very inventive, Paula! Thanks for participating in the blogskip today and hope you have a happy 4th!
Terrific card! The paper piecing adds a lot. I use the Tombow small runner all the time (haven't sprung for the ATG gun yet) and it's my favorite. The white bow adds a lot to the card. You're right - any hero would love to use this card! Thanks.
Beautiful card, Paula. Such detail and layering. Your explanation of the process was so clear and made me feel "I could do that too." ;-) Thank you for all you do for OWH. I use my Tombow tape runner for small areas too. Glenda F
Paula,
Your card is awesome! I love to color and love to paper piece. Maybe this stamp is still available? It's nice to see the adhesives used and know they work, had some problems with that recently.
It would be wonderful to be included in your drawing for goodies.
