This is one of the cards that we made at my Hands-on Class last week. We focused on Paper Piercing and using the new piercer, mat and templates. The card idea comes directly from the catalog – it is based on the sample that they have on the page with the piercing tools.
I made a few changes – one was changing the orientation of the card. There is piercing around the Apothecary Accents framelit – using the template in the Essentials pack. There is piercing along the large scallop edglit – that’s also in the Essentials pack. And then straight line piercing around the rest of the layered panel on the card. All the piercing on this card uses the Essentials Paper-piercing pack.
The colors I used are So Saffron, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango and Always Artichoke. I believe the catalog used Daffodil Delight in their example – I’m not sure why I used a different yellow – but I did. It turned out to be a pretty card.
If you are a member of the Create with Connie & Mary Holiday edition class – my guest designer project posted today – I made a cute card set, matching envelopes and a surprise container to store them all in. But you have to be a member to see it! There are lots of great projects – a new one posted every day – and they all have step by step photo tutorials with them.
