Inkin with Val

Yup you guessed it! Another Scallopped edge! This one shows the use of the Pretty in Pink sample I created using the corner rounder punch. I love how Close to Cocoa and Pretty in Pink look together. I also used one of the new sets from the Current Spring and Summer 2008 catalog, A Beautiful Thing . This project will be tonight's Stamper's Club Project.

We see them everywhere now, but how do people get them if they don't have the right diecuts or multiple gigapunches?... Be sure to click on the photos in order to see them more clearly, they should enlarge somewhat. I have learned these techniques from other sources over the last little while, how to do these using some of the punches I already had and don't take credit for any of them whatsoever. So, here goes, my first tutorial and 3 methods of getting scalloped edges all compiled into one. Method #1 You will need: corner rounder punch cardstock This method works great for straight edges. Remov e the lower "corner" plate as shown in the photo. It should just pop/slide off. Holding the punch upside down so you can view where you are punching, line up the edge of your Cardstock with the "v" in the bottom edge of the punch. Punch the first "scallop". You will then line up the next scallop by lining up the "v" again and making sure your edg...
