Circles with the Essential Paper Pack - 'How To'!

 
Who thought a bunch of circles would turn out to look so sassy?  You've got to check out the way in which Melody, one of Stampin' Up!s concept artists brought his card to life.  The key component? 
The Essential Paper Piercing Pack! The pack comes with 3 'templates', I guess you can call them for only $7.95.  It's a total steal and huge bag for your buck as several of the shapes coordinate with punches and the straight lines, scallops and circles offer the opportunity to really do a lot to jazz up your card designs. 
 
Here's how Melody created the fabulous perfect circle design on the card featured above. 

1. Draw a line down the center of your cardstock with a pencil, then line up the holes at the tips of the scallop along the line and pierce the scallop.

 2. Rotate your paper 180 degrees and line up the scallop on the template with the pierced scallop on your paper. Pierce the scallop to complete the circles.

 3. Line up the pierced holes with the template as shown above and pierce the scallop to start the next row of circles. Rotate your paper 180 degrees again and line up the template as shown in step 2. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you’ve filled the entire piece of cardstock with pierced circles. 

4. VOILA!! Your cardstock should look like this when you’re done. Erase your pencil line and attach it to a card base; embellish your project as desired.
