Scalloping is in, but are you getting bored with using your Corner Rounder Punch and Slit Punch. Here is a way to create smaller scalloping using Stampin’ Up! Supplies.
SCALLOP PUNCH TUTORIAL:
STEP 1 — Supplies are just a Scallop Punch, your choice of CS, and Paper Snips. Punch out a scalloped piece.
STEP 2 — Make a single cut (in between 2 scallops) toward the center of the piece.
STEP 3 — Carefully start cutting along the scalloping.
STEP 4 — Finished cut piece which you can bend to fit any shape you are looking to add some scalloping to. Cut out as many as you need. One cut piece will cover appox 4-3/4″. Adhere to your creation. I applied Snail to the back of a piece of CS and applied the scalloping that way (so the cut line I made was hidden and only scallops showing).
Here is a sneak peek upclose pic of a card that I will be featuring on my blog tomorrow at 9:30 am EST that shows the scalloping:

Who would have thought? That’s an awesome way to add some punch to a card. TFS!
Very clever – I will give this a try for sure!
thank you for the tip, this might be the little “push” I needed to finally get this punch ; )
Congrats to the winners! Thanks for another great tip! Can’t wait to try this one now!

So cool… What a great idea!
That is fantastic! Thanks for that.
You are so smart! Great tutorial MJ.
Wow – I must say when I 1st saw this paper in the preview brochure I wasn’t keen on it… BUT this card has changed my mind! (Love the stamp set! One of my faves!) Lovely card indeed!
Absolutely amazing! I ran downstairs to try this out. this may even be better than chocolate! Janet in NC
I have another little tip that would make this technique even easier & quicker. Punch out a circle with the 1-3/8″ circle punch first, then turn the scallop circle punch over & punch, lining it up so you have a little “frame” (with the circle already cut out of the middle) then you’ll already have the middle cut out & you won’t have to cut it out with scissors. Then all you have to do is snip one side & bend it so it lays straight. I hope this makes sense. I love punches!
You amaze us all again, MJ. I’d ask if you’re up late at night thinking up all this stuff but I know the answer to that. *wink*
Can’t wait to try this!
MJ you are a genius!!!
Love your idea. Never thought of it or saw it anyhwhere.
Thanks for sharing it.
[…] make the scalloped edge I used my own modified version of Mary Jo Albright’s tutorial. She punches the scalloped circle then cuts in to the circle and around the edge. Now if she […]
OMG! I love it! Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing with the rest of us! Nikki
