A simple sentiment and a touch of paper-piercing are the essence of this quick and pretty card. It goes together in just 10 minutes or less. Perfect for the busy stamper!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- It’s just plain fun! Paper-piercing using the Stampin’ Up! Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool is a delightful way to add paper pizzazz to your projects in a snap. For even and consistent results, I recommend using the Stampin’ Pierce Mat.
- A snippet of patterned paper from Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper (DSP) provides a colorful contrast. Stock up! Buy 3 DSP and Get 1 FREE. Ends July 31.
- Superior Stamping Mileage! The Four You stamp set offers four classic sentiments, each with a bold and modern font.
- New styles and new colors. Stampin’ Up! Designer Buttons got a makeover this year that have me reaching for them more than ever! The Calypso Coral button on the butterfly is from the Subtles Collection. It looks pretty splashy with the Crisp Cantaloupe Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper used and Early Espresso butterfly.

Thanks, Kim . . . it’s one of my favorite layouts!
So simple but beautiful! This will be on my inspiration blog post. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Jenny: I used the Stampin’ Up! Paper Piercing Essentials Pack template. They have double lines that I used to do the side by side. Much easier than lining up a second row off the first! M
I love this card!!!!! Is there a trick to the paper-piercing? When I tried this it didn’t look as good. If I happen the have the same shape it looks great – I really loved this card!!!
I love your card Mary, it is so pretty and very sweet! Plain and simple….such lovely cards!
Thank you, Mary, for giving us ideas for quick cards! Sometimes I just over think it all… This card is lovely and elegant but not too complicated. It’s just perfect! Thank you again.

Love every thing about your card today! Quick and easy is the best part. This stamp set is on my list. I love versatile word stamp sets.
You did it again, Mary! What a soft,pretty card! One of the highlights of my morning is to sit at my computer and look to see what card you have made for us each day. I am never disappointed!
Mary You are very talented. I agree with the three wonderful ladies above my name. Your card is so sweet. The paper looks like it was designed for your personal web site. The butterfly with the button is is so sweet.
I love the paper piercing. You are amazing. I love your site. Have a great day, Hugs, Ellen
Mary you never seem to disappoint us….this card is so simple, yet elegant and could be used in countless ways by just adjusting the sentiment….again thank you my stampin up friend.
I second that Mary, the DSP says your name loud and clear. I love the piercing around the Crumb Cake CS, such a subtle addition yet it really adorns the layout. The black butterfly with the button and that little bow of linen thread really jumps at you, looks really very elegant, I love it!! Beautiful card Mary, thank you for sharing it.
Maria.
Such a beautiful card Mary. The patterned paper you have chosen for this card looks like it was made just for you!
