Hi Mary,
your Butterfly-cards are beautyful thanks for this post and a lot of huggs and greatings from Germany
I have always wondered how people could do paper piercing so neatly and thanks to your tutorial I know now that you just need the right tools! I think I would have to get these tools to do this myself; looks like great fun and it gives such a special finish to your card. Your butterfly cards are really gorgeous! Thanks for taking the time to bring us the video.
Thanks for your beautiful card and video. This card is perfect in every way, and the video gives details for even the beginner to do a perfect card. Thanks for all you do to make my card making fun.
Mary,
Love the tutorial, and card! From 1 to 10 score ( 11 )!

Beautiful cards, Mary.
Beautiful cards, Mary! My note cards and the Swallowtail punch should arrive in just a few days and I can’t wait to use your inspiration! Thanks for the video and TFS!
Amazing design and video! Thanks.
This is great. Just love it. I will be making this one this week. It is clean and elegant and spring time. Thanks for the post.
SUCH A FUN IDEA!!!!!
Great tutorial! This card is adorable. I haven’t tried paper piercing, but you’ve inspired me to give it a try.
I love the card! It’s quick to make but looks very involved. Once again, thanks for the great ideas!
love your tutorial and card so simple but elegant thanks
always love your white on white look. the splash of color with the butterfly adds just the right amount of visual interest. will definitely case this one if you dont mind 🙂
Breathtaking Butterfly makes a Beautiful Card! TFS!! Another fabulous card that is so clean and simple. Proving that sometimes simple is best!
Breathtaking!
Thanks!!!!
Love these cards Mary! Simple, stunning and affordable! What a perfect combo.
Very pretty, quick, easy and so eye-catching cards Mary, thanks for the 1-minute video too! Love the bitty butterfly.
Mary, once again you hooked me! I love this simple yet elegant card with the butterfly and with your guest stamper yesterday, I am definitely hooked!!! So beautiful, so elegant and so easy, love it!!
Love it! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to try it.
Okay Mary…..This card “ROCKS” (words spoken by my 12 year old granddaughter). I started a Skype Sunday with my granddaughter back in Madison. We are going to make cards (beginners session) on Skype every Sunday and I would love to CASE this card and have her make it in a couple weeks. Would you mind me CASEing it? LOVED the video and think this series is going to be the BEST. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice. The simple cards I think are the best plus they are easier! Thank you for all of your inspiration…
So glad to see someone else use lots of dimensionals!!!! I love the simplicity of your card!!! Quick, easy but so beautiful!!! I need to do more simple cards but it’s sometimes hard to know where to stop!! Thank you for your videos!! :O)
Very nice design, and so simple. Thanks for sharing.
I love the simplicity of your card. It’s just elegant to me. Sometimes all the stuff that other card makers do is just too much. Stamping doesn’t have to be hard, you know?
Wonderful cards Mary, quick, clean and simple but oh so elegant!! I always love the look of a white on white card and the added splash of color on the butterfly really makes it pop. Thank you for another great video tutorial.
Maria.
Mary, just love these cards!! Was wondering when and how to use the butterfly piercing…now I know 🙂 Thanks for the video!
