Paper Piercing - the cheapest design tool ever!

As promised, here are two more cards from this coming Saturday's Easter and Mother's Day card class.  It will be at my house at 2:00pm on the 23rd, email me to sign up!  

I tried to make this a more complicated card, trust me.  I tried to work in some designer paper, some edge punching... but the design just called out for total simplicity.  This card should take you 5 minutes to make, not including the 2 minutes you will spend picking out which sentiment you want to use.  

It may be an "Easter and Mother's Day" class, but all the cards we will be making can be used for almost any occasion, so I will have a number of sentiment stamps on hand for you to choose from.  

As I mentioned in the title, both these cards include paper piercing.  For this technique all you need is a mat pack and a paper piercing tool - which together will cost you under $15.00.  The paper piercing look can be modern and minimalist, or link the holes with a hand-drawn line to give the homey look of stitching.  Either way it's easy, inexpensive, and a great way to add that extra touch to your card.  

Both of these cards were stamped with the Fast and Fabulous hostess stamp set.  The "thank you" card was stamped with the set's faux watercolor look, while the tall flower card really was watercolored with Aqua Painters and ink.  

Come try both methods this Saturday!  Email me to reserve your spot.
