Scallop Circle Cards

More projects using the Scallop Circle Die!

Creating an easel card is so easy using this Die. Just fold your cardstock in half and when you place it on the Die, position it so that a few of the scallop edges are outside of the fold - so they won't get cut. This forms the base card i.e. you will have 2 scallop circles joined on what was the folded edge. All you need to do then is fold one of the circles in half. The full one will form the base (bottom) of the card and the folded one will form the back and support for your card front (cut another full scallop circle to decorate and position on here. You can see the shape of it in the top pic :o)

Big Shot Swing Card!

I found THIS video on YouTube by Deb Valder showing how to do this technique with the Big Shot. Deb used the smaller Scallop circle die, which we haven't got in the UK at the moment - but the technique is the same for using the larger Die that we do have. My card base was 13.5cm x 13.5cm. You don't want to go much smaller because it will make the 'hinge' sections too narrow and weak :o)

This was the technique I demo'd at Amanda's training day :o)

This final card was a 'happy' mistake. It was originally another Swing card, but I dropped it and tore one of the hinges - still looks good though :o)

More Baby Carriages! :o)

There's still a few more projects to show you from my Inspiration Table at Amanda's training day - all using the Scallop Circle Bigz Die from Stampin' Up! :o)

This little beauty uses the die to form the base card.

I scored and folded a piece of cardstock (sized 24cm x 12cm) at 12cm and placed onto the Scallop Circle die - BUT just bringing the folded edge inside the scallops on the left hand side so they aren't cut by the die when you run it through the Big Shot. I then just cut a section away at the front of the card to create the Baby carriage shape :o)

The handle for the carriage was created using the little Sizzlits die - Sweet Scribbles ..... and the papers are - yet again - the beautiful Springtime Vintage DSP - both from the Mini Catalogue. The cardstock is Baja Breeze.

I found this idea on Dania Welch's blog here :o)

Baby Carriage

This cute little Baby Carriage is yet another project from my Inspiration Table! Just shows how versatile that Scallop Circle Bigz Die from Stampin' Up! is - it can be used for so many different types of projects :o)

The Carriage is based on a tutorial from the Scor-pal web site. But I've changed a few things to give it a 'neater' finish :o) The Scallop Circle has just been cut in half and used to make the hood on the carriage.

I've decorated it with the Tiny Tags stamp set, flowers from the Boho Blossom punch and some of our Basic Pearls.

Hopeful Thoughts - Gift Bag

This is another project I originally created for my Inspiration Table at Amanda's training. I absolutely love this bag and it was the inspiration for my project class this month which I will show you soon :o)

I have used the Hopeful Thoughts stamp set to decorate the handle and the butterflies. I coloured the image with the Stampin' Markers.

The beautiful rosette was created by cutting 2 Scallop Circles and scoring each of them in between all the scallops. You then just need to cut along one of the score lines into the centre and then concertina fold the scallops all the way round. The 2 halves are then joined together. Simple ..... :o)

More Scallop Circle Die Projects!

This sweet little basket is made using 2 Scallop Circles joined together at the sides with a little sticky strip. The Embosslit die 'Scalloped Heart of Hearts' was used to decorate the front and I have used Stampin' Up's gorgeous Flower Brads to hold the handle in place. The handle is cardstock, covered with the lovely Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon :o)

What could be simpler? A Scallop Circle, embossed with the beautiful Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder - a couple of Jumbo Brads and a little Seam Binding Ribbon - all used to create a wrap for a couple of bars of choccie ....... yum :o)

Aren't these cute? Each one is a Scallop Circle folded to create little favours ..... these holding delicious mini easter eggs :o)

All these projects use the wonderful new Springtime Vintage Designer Series Papers (£8.75).

Bag-a-lopes - With Scallop Circle Die

These cute little gift bags are called Bag-a-lopes because each is created using one of Stampin' Up's gorgeous Vanilla envelopes (page 87 £5.75 for 40).

I have used the Scallop Circle die (again!) to create the tops for them. Each is embossed with one of the Embossing Folders now available in the Mini Catalogue :o) I also heat embossed them with Clear Embossing powder to give the effect of leather - this isn't clear in the pics - but it does look great :o)

Embossed Frame

At my Stampin' Up! parties this month, I have been demonstrating how to create an embossed frame using the new Embossing folders from the Mini Catalogue.

The following cards all use the Vintage Wallpaper folder ... which is my current favourite :o) All the designs are clean and simple and really quick to do. The first two use the beautiful Wedding Wheels single stamp (£6.95) - also from the Mini Catalogue and the Tiny Tags set from the main catalogue, together with its matching Jewellery Tag Punch.

The final card uses one of the stamps from the Hostess Level 1 set, Punch Potpourri. The sentiment is from the Hostess Level 2 set from the Mini Catalogue, Something To Celebrate :o)

Patchwork - Scallop Circle

Box Lid :



I created this box to be a focal point on my Inspiration Table :o) It's big! The height is 20cm and the base is 14.5cm square.

The patchwork was made up of 1 1/4" squares and glued to a 5" square of Whisper White cardstock. This was then centred over the Scallop Circle Die and cut in the Big Shot. I used 4 of them for the sides and 1 of the 'waste' frames for the lid :o)

The Designer Series Paper used is Springtime Vintage - from the new Mini Catalogue. I created the Flowers using the Fun Flowers Die - creased them and split the paper layers before daubing the edges with Platinum Shimmer Paint.

The ruffled ribbon is the new Seam Binding in Baja Breeze - this was just pleated randomly onto sticky strip. I also threaded a small piece of this ribbon through the button - yet another product from our new Mini Catalogue :o)

Scallop Circle Die - Small Gift Bag

Another of my projects from my Inspiration station at Amanda's training day :o)

This cute gift bag was made using 2 Scallop Circle die cuts. I cut these from Confetti White cardstock and covered the outside with some of the beautiful Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper.

The flower was made using the Fun Flowers Die. It's been spritzed with White Frost Shimmer paint mixed with Rubbing Alcohol so it's all sparkly :o) Hidden inside is one of the lovely new Big Springtime Vintage Designer Buttons, threaded through with Seam Binding ribbon.

The Butterfly is from the Beautiful Butterflies Die cut in Cardstock Vellum and coloured on the reverse with the Stampin' Markers. I have added Dazzling Diamond glitter all around the wings and Basic Pearls down through the body.
