PPA104 Clean and Simple Paper Piercing

Stampin up lean on me rubber stamps paper piercing
6a00e54f95df928834014e894bfd50970d-120wi It's not the first time I have made this same mistake.  I started my project for this week's Pals Paper Arts Clean and Simple Challenge (PPA104) determined to use the "Paper Piecing" technique  However, a closer look revealed that the challenge actually was to "Paper Pierce."  Honestly, I hadn't planned on paper piercing the butterfly trail but it was a quick recovery!

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up lean on me rubber stamps punch paper piercing Stampin' Up! Lean On Me rubber stamps are sweet and simple.  Ideal for a Clean and Simple look.  See all stamp images below.
  • The little dress was stamped on Calypso Coral card stock, cropped with my Paper Snips and pieced over the full image. Do you like the quick pop of color?
  • I used a needle to pierce the little swirly butterfly trail. A Paper Piercing Tool would work, too.  However, I thought the scale was a bit too large for this tiny butterfly. Practice your swirls a bit on a piece of scratch paper until you like the look.  
  • Get a faux embossed look:  Doesn't Very Vanilla look beautiful layered over Very Vanilla?

    4. Lovely card! Someone recently told me that in card making it is all about being able to fix your boo-boo’s. While you didn’t really have a boo-boo, your addition of piercing the tail of the butterfly makes the card extra special. I knew I should have ordered this stamp set!
