Paper Piercing
Hi all,
I have seen the neatest of neat piercing on cardwork and am wondering if there are any really fab piercing templates I could purchase? I do have the little mat one from SU that goes with the eyelet mat and a couple of others...don't know the brand names....but not in the lovely rectangular or circle or oval presentations I am seeing on others' blogs.
Any help in this regard would be totally mag!
Thanks in advance!
Michelle

Yep...I have some of the Ornare templates. I was really wondering I guess if there are any ...like....simple lines...simple rectangles etc out there. I do not want really fancy stuff...jut the simple lines, corners and shapes....
Must be that everyone is super good at doing the piercing...I am not....it comes out crooked...not a good look!
Thanks for sharing that site though...It is worthe the visit.

The classy dots there are more like what I was wanting...with the row of just holes.
Is there any other brands out there at all? Surely there is something and I am just missing it?
I hope so, coz I so need to straighten those pierces!

For just classic rows, SU got the mat pack, I think that is what it is called. That is what I use. It is only 9.95. I love mine, I use it all the time!

Definitely look for the plastic canvas pieces! You can get them at any store that sells yarn and needlepoint supplies. They're so cheap- maybe less than fifty cents? They come in all sizes and shapes, and you can CUT them with regular scissors to make shapes of your own.

Also on Ellen Hutson under Pergamano, they have piercing tools that come with multiple pins so it makes the shape of a star, square, etc. They are supposed to be for vellum. I guess you could email them and ask if these would be ok to use with cardstock.

I wrote a quick tutorial on how to use the SU paper piercing template on curves. I hope it helps.

Hi ladies...To further my pursuit of this topic...I wandered off to the local haberdashery in town. There I found "Darice" Perforated Plastic 14 Mesh in a 8 1/4" by 11" sheet. The holes are nice and weeny, so I can't wait to try it out. Thanks to Tracy for suggesting this. I would not have thought of it on my own!

sewing with no thread is nice...
make lines of dots and then slice into ribbons of impossibly cute loveliness!
try multi dots by zizzag,
parallel lines as margins to the cardstock ribbon
and any decorative stitches you have
or use kid's cheap graph paper... draw out or stamp your image and then dot it out on your cs with a thumbtack...
use a mousepad under it all so you don't end up with 'peragamo-table syndrome'

In addition to the 8-1/2 x 11 plastic needlepoint plastic, you can get circles, stars, and other shapes. These shapes can be used with not only the outside row of holes, but any of the inside, smaller-sized ones as well. I kept getting confused with which row of holes I was using, so I took my sharpie markers and colored every other row with a different color. That really helped a lot. The plastic is still transparent, so I can outline a stamped image with punching, too. I use a piece of styrofoam as my base, then layer the CS on top, plastic canvas piece, then punch the holes with a pushpin. Works great! --Audrey

Not Mine!
I found these on the net, I would ask first, but the idea is simple enough.
Make your own, print it, LAMINATE IT to make it last and away you go.
as I say, I would ask...

I've used the plastic canvas, like many of you. The other day, I had the leftover piece from the *So Swirly* Big Shot die and used it as a guide. Worked like a charm.

I replied to another post about lining up brads and eyelets. Same for here. I use plastic canvas shapes. They make all kinds and shapes. Hearts, circles, octagons, squares etc. Either mark with a pencil and go back and punch, or use the needle in a tool kit for brads and eyelets to put the holes directly in your paper or cardstock. Works every time
