Welcome to a new Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO252). My 5″ square card was pretty true to the sketch, which is especially surprising for a girl who often “colors outside the lines!”
To give the card a little jazz, I added touches of paper-piercing using the Stampin’ Up! Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack (one of my Top 10 Favorite Stampin’ Up! Accessories). I adore that many of the shapes coordinate with Stampin’ Up! punches and framelits. Here’s a new 1 Minute to WOW! Video to show you how:
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The fresh color palette of Floral District Designer Series Paper determined my color combination. Having coordinating cardstock makes card making a breeze!
- Each heart gets it’s own personalty. The large heart gets a touch of paper-piercing. The two smaller hearts are accented with buttons and pearls.
- I whipped up a coordinating envelope with my Stampin’ Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Simply Scored Diagonal Plate. Note the chart measurements for this 5″ square card produce a 5 1/2″ square envelope–plenty of room to tuck in a card with “bumpy” embellishments. Here’s my Simply Scored Diagonal Plate Measurement Chart.
The Stampin’ Up! One in a Million stamp set offers coordinating sentiments for the card interior.

I’ve missed them, tfs!!!!
Your one minute to wow videos are amazing. I often buy products but am hesitant to use them, even though I KNOW they will make my projects look fabulous. Your videos show how easy and useful these products are and give me the little push I need to get me started. Thank you so much for sharing EVERYTHING you do!

Julie-just an admirer, not a demo.
Love these colors Mary. The paper piercing adds beautiful detail.
I adore this card! The textures, piercing and embellishments are above and beyond! Love!
You’ve created a stinkin cute card today girlfriend! Love all the paper piercing you did to this card – LOVE LOVE LOVE that new tool! I too think it’s one of those “got to have” from the new catty. Thanks for sharing!
Oh how I love the paper piercing goodness of this card!!! Your colors are just yummy and, while I know you have the guidance of the Designer Series Paper, it’s still just perfectly done.
The new paper piercing set is much better than the old one. Now I don’t have to move the template around to complete a card. Must have one. Beautiful card.
Love this card!!!!!
