The Scraps on the Table

These two cards were made using the card stock and DSP scraps on my table. The top card was made just using those scraps. The bottom card used scraps plus some gold foil card sheet for the star. And I did some paper piercing on it. I saw a card with similar layout on Pinterest but came up with the paper piercing idea. I used the oval paper piercing template to make the streaks.

Hearts A Glitter with Paper Piercing Accent

This is a card using the glitter scrap from a Paper Pumpkin kit. I didn't have to do any cutting or trimming of the scrap it was just a perfect negative punch square! This card uses the same layout as Monday's card. I pierced the black card stock. And learned a lesson... paper piercing really shows up better on lighter color card stock!

Lots of Paper Piercing

This card is also a CASE from Mary Fish. There's a lot of paper piercing but it really makes the card special!
If you look closely you will see the large star is pierced, the white background card stock is pierced and the rectangle below the circle is pierced around the circle.

Paper Piercing Week

I participate in a weekly challenge. This week's challenge was to use Paper Piercing technique on the card. This is the card I made for the challenge. You may have to look closely to see the piercing. (CASE:  Mary Fish.)But I saw so many other great ideas and cards that I decided to do some more paper piercing. Come back the rest of the week to see more Paper Piercing.

Another Welcome Card

Big expression stamps make for easy, quick cards. This stamp comes from the new Welcome Words stamp set. It has lots smaller word stamps that can be added for new home, baby, etc. It's not easy to see in the photo but I paper pierced the white card stock top and bottom to give a little more interest to the card.

Another Template from the Book

You have to look closely to see the paper piercing in this card. This is another template from the card. The book's card used circles for the paper piercing. I used the deco labels punch template from Stampin' Up! This particular pattern is now retired. We had lots of visitors at the churches in December so I am busy making welcome cards. 

Come back tomorrow to see another card using the same template.

Still Inspired by Stampin' Success

This is another card CASE from the magazine. But I did change this one up a bit. I wanted to use the little heart sequins and some of the ruffle lace and I didn't have the oval dotted stamp they used; so reached for my paper piercer and pack of templates and made do with what I have.

Anniversary card

This is the same card using two different techniques to edge the layered white card stock. On the top card I used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool with the Borders Plate to make the dry embossed border. On the bottom card I used Essentials pack to paper pierce the border. The hearts are punched using the Sweetheart punch. When I went to pull some scraps of Pink Pirouette I found some that were already embossed with an embossing folder in my Big Shot. I save everything! I like the way that embossing added a little something to this simple card. Happy accident!
