Scallop Punch Versatility Part 3

Here is another fun idea.....
Using your 1 1/4" circle punch, punch a circle out of some designer series paper.Next, line up your scallop punch over the area you just punched out, and punch.
You will end up with a scallop ring, like this:

Next, cut the ring at one of the scallop points.


Next, using just the point of your paper snips, snip slits at every scallop point, about 1/8" inward. Be careful to not go too far and cut the ring completely.Continue making snips all the way around, and then carefull stretch ring into a line:

Apply little dots of Tombo adhesive along top edge of scallop border.

Adhere scallop border along edge of cardstock, pulling gently and lining up as you go. Here is what your border will look like from the front side:

I used the One of a Kind stamp set for this project, and here I colored the 3 flower image with stampin' write markers.Then use the Boho Blossoms punch (which is designed specifically for this stamp set) to punch out all three flowers at once.....

Here are the flowers:

And now for the completed card.....Closeup:Enjoy making quick and easy scallop edges!!!
