Paper Piercing and Freebie

What a fun time everyone had at Tuesday’s class (at least that’s what they all told me).  Paper Piercing adds a striking look to your cards.  It can be the focal point of the card or a decorative edge around an image or a cutout.

I never seem to have enough masculine birthday cards and since lace and flowers don’t shout “masculine” to me, this is a perfect card to do paper piercing on. Adding piercings around the graphic is a subtle way to enhance a card without “frilling” it up. I stamped “Happy Birthday” on twill tape and tied it off to the side. I’m entering this Birthday Card in CAS-ual Fridays Birthday Challenge.

 

Just about everyone indicated they wanted a Happy Anniversary card at last Thursday's class, so that was the other card. Just a CAS (clean and simple) design, yet slightly elegant with the piercing around the blue scalloped piece.
