Hey
crafty peeps, and happy Monday!! Today is my turn to share a Krafty Tip
and Tut over on the Kraftin' Kimmie blog, so I decided to do something
that I get asked about a lot...paper piercing!!
First
things first, I get my image, or card base, that I want to pierce ready
to go, including ALL layers I want to include. Piercing through all the
layers you plan on having allows the holes to stay open, and more
pronounced. If you only do them through one layer, when you attach the
next layer, it pushes the holes back together.
You
will need a paper piercing tool, a foam mat to pierce into, and a guide
of your chosing. I use the Stampin' Up piercing guide, but you can use
any kind of guide you wish(Tim Holtz has a GREAT ruler for this). Line
your guide up in the corner, so that the holes will punch evenly around
the edges.
Be
sure when piercing, you hold the paper piercing tool upright, and hold
your guide tightly in place so it doesn't move when you are piercing
your holes.
Use your guide to go all the way around the image, or card base, so that all the corners meet evenly.
And here we are, with my finished card....the image I used for this card is from the Sending All My Love stamp
set by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! I paired it with some MME Kate&Co paper. My cardstock colors
are Smooth White, Nightshift Blue, Razzle Berry, and Lemon Drop all from
MFT. I added some Nightshift Blue grosgrain, a spiral clip, and some
brads
from Michael's.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
Hugs!!
