Super Simple Scallops

Scalloped papers are very popular right now. This technique is an easy way to put a scalloped edge on any paper you have... and it is fast and easy. All you'll need is your paper and a corner rounder.

First you want to remove the paper guide from the bottom of the corner rounder. Generally this will just pop off. (I use some corner rounders from EK Success for this. If your corner rounder doesn't have a pop off guide, like my Marvy Uchida corner rounder, it will not work for this technique.)


Starting at one edge, place the paper as far into the corner rounder as it will go and punch. Then move to the side and repeat, being sure to line up the left-hand "point" of the punch with the right-hand side of the first "point." It will look like this:


Continue along until you have completed the edge.


Flip the paper over and admire your handiwork!



Here is my finished project.

I cut the large tree out and mounted it on pop dots so you can just see the snowflake paper peeking out from behind it. The tree is decorated with buttons and Kaisercraft pearls. The fabulous glitter letters are from My Mind's Eye.


thanks for stopping by!
