Again Thank You
Thank you again!
I live in Canada and have been trying to find the paper piercing tool that you have. I want the matt with the holes and the tool you use to punch holes with. Can you tell me where you bought your's and the name of the kit? I want to look on-line but don't know tha actual name of the kit. Also it is only on-line that I can get a Scor Pal. Frustrating. But love your ideas.
I think you are talking about the paper piercing tool used in the video? I use the paper piercer from Making Memories. The mats are from Stampin' Up!'s mat pack.
You can purchase the Scor-Pal directly from the Scor-Pal store. There are many other online stores that carry it. Just type in Scor-Pal into your internet search engine.
That's one tool I can't be without.
