Paper Piercing Fun

Posted on September 25, 2014September 24, 2014 by Josee

Good Morning,

If you have not checked out the Weekly Deals yet, there are some great MUST HAVES on sale this week! The paper piercing packs are on sale and if you don't have these yet, what are you waiting for? Paper piercing is such a simple way to add oomph (ok, is that really a word??) to your cards. Here are a few samples…

This card I created uses the Festive Paper Piercing Template around the sentiment adding a bit of depth to an otherwise simple card. I used the coordinating Labels Collection Framelits die set to create the greeting layer and the perfectly sized mat layer.

This cute baby card I found on Pinterest uses the Eclectic Paper Piercing Template Pack. (Click on the photo to see the Pin and creator of the card). This card uses a whole set of coordinating items: Baby's First Framelits Die, Something for Baby Stamp Set and the Eclectic Paper Piercing template- they all work together perfectly! Love it!

This gorgeous card can be recreated using the Occasions Paper Piercing Template Pack and the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies. (click on the photo to view the Pinterest Pin and creator of the card)

I hope these samples have you looking at the Paper Piercing Template Packs with some creative imagination 🙂 See below for links to the products you can pick up to recreate these cards!

Happy Stamping!

SALE PRICES will be displayed in the store when you click on the item.
