Add a little Pizzazz to your Project with Paper Piercing

July 03, 2015

Paper Piercing... it's one of those little "extras" that can add so much to your stamped card or handcrafted project, but yet, we often forget about it!

I grabbed the Updated Essentials Paper Piercing Template, my mat and Paper Piercing tool (pg 168 in the 2015-2016 Stampin' UP! catalog) and added a circle of paper pierced holes around the punched circle on my card.. do you like it?

I think it adds just the right POP!

Isn't this You're Sublime stamp set cute!? I love it! It's on pg 45 in the new catalog!

For this sweet Thank You greeting card, I stamped the wheelbarrow image from the new Stampin' Up! "You're Sublime" stamp set (pg 45 in the new catalog or HERE online) onto Thick Whisper White cardstock, and then I colored it with my new Copic markers. I decided to give them a try and I like the results with this outline stamp set!! I punched out my image with the 2-1/2" circle punch, then put it on my Paper Piercing Mat and pierced the holes as shown in the mini-tutorial below:

The final touch was to place the punched circle onto one of the new Metallic Foil Doilies... but I didn't care for either the gold or silver one on this particular card, so I flipped it over and used the other side which is white!! eeek... clever? yes! :)

The sweet piece of butterfly paper is trimmed to 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" and is from the Pretty Petals paper stack (pg 144) and layered onto a Stampin' UP! Whisper White Note Card (pg 149). Two punched butterflies were the finishing touch on my card. All of the supplies are shown below in this post.. you can click on any item for more info or to purchase that item online!

--------------------------

I was so excited to see this gorgeous card idea from Connie Babbert online a week or so ago, and I immediately decided we needed to make this card in my stamp class on Saturday!

Two things that really set these cards apart from your average card are the paper piercing and the pearls

BIG SHOT TIP:

When you are die cutting your Apothecary Accents label, you can die cut the oval out of the center at the same time!

Then use the little pieces from the side of your Stampin' Dimensionals sheet to place on the diecut before adding it to your card:

In our stamp class, PJ and Mary both created the most amazing versions of this card.. check out their lovely handiwork!

Meeting & Convention Make & Take #5

At our August Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting, we made some of the Make & Take projects from the Stampin' Up! Convention in July.

Our last of the 5 projects we made at our Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting features the really cool You're Amazing stamp set. We got this set free at convention!!

I love experimenting with all of the amazing Framelit dies from Stampin' UP!... this die from the Apothecary Accents packge works so well with this stamp, and then when you add the coordinating Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and you have such a winning combo! Don't you love the paper piercing around the die cut!?
