I posted a challenge for our Stampers for Others team for January a few weeks ago. The challenge was to create a single layer card! Do you know how difficult it is not to use layers and embellishments? Dapper Dad to the rescue:

I really, really had the distinct urge to add “something else” to not only having stamped images. My first thought was to use paper piercing. What a difference just those tiny little holes added to my card:

I stamped a pair of shoes by masking the first shoe with a post-it note. Here are the few supplies I used:
Stampin’ Up! Supplies:
- Cardstock:
Crumb Cake - Inks:
Early Espresso - Stamps:
Dapper Dad, Best Dad Ever - Tools:
Paper Piercer, Essentials Paper Piercing Pack
