How To Tuesday!

Hi there and welcome to "How To Tuesday!"  Today design team member Liz Qualman is going to show you how to paper pierce using our Pebbles stencils and create the adorable card pictured below.  Here are Liz's step by step instructions to create this project ...


First you will need to gather all of the materials pictures below which include Pebbles Accents Chalk Stencils (742061), cardstock, pencil, sheet of craft foam, and a heavy duty needle or ice pick.

 

Using the pencil, lightly trace the stencils with dotted lines approximately 1/4 inch apart.  You may want to vary the closeness of the dots in some places to emphasize certain parts of the shape you are tracing.

Place a piece of craft foam under the cardstock so that your paper will easily pierce without tearing.  Use a needle or ice pick to poke holes in the paper along the dotted lines.  Gently erase any stray pencil marks when you have finished the holes.

 

Once you have finished piercing the paper with your design elements, add it to your project and embellish with Pebbles papers, stickers, flowers, chipboard, candy dots, and rub ons.


Thank you so much Liz for this great tutorial!
