Friday Focus: Paper Piercing Tools

This week's product focus is on the Paper Piercing Tools.  These tools were used in my Tuesday post featuring Faux Stitching. 

 

The Piercing Mat, Piercing Tool, and Mat Pack were all used to add the finishing touches on these cards.  For faux stitching you connect the holes with a marker or pen.  Sometimes, the piercing is enough of an embellishment.

I used the piercing template to add to the rose panels.  I also used the Stitched Ribbon that is on special this month.  Simple tools for a soft, beautiful effect.

Tip: The paper piercing tool can also be used to aid in placing pearls and rhinestones.
