Hope Scallop Tutorial

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Thursday !!!

I have not much luck finding the tutorial for the layered scallop flower, so I decided to provide you with the tutorial. Thanks for the girls that e-mailed me asking for the tutorial, that was my motivation to do the tutorial. I even made a sample card and it is very simple to make. I decorated the corners with scallop trim corner.

RECIPE:

Stamps: Friend to Friend

Paper: Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White

Ink: Black

Accesories: satin ribbon, jumbo brad

Tools: scallop flower punch, Boho Blossom punch, scallop trim corner

Layered Scallop Tutoriall

Start by punching 4 scallop circle.

Cut the scallop in half.

I used a bone folder for easy folding. Fold 2 scallops together and you will have one extra scallop.

Here is the folded scallop (fan fold).

Alternate the colors of the scallop.
Punch 1-3/4" circle punch. I also puch the middle with 1/8 punch as guide and I can also used it in case I have to add embellishment.

Start putting together same color. I used glue dots to glue the scallop or if you prefer you can add glue to the circle itself. This is what it looks like put together.

Here is the finished flower. Add embellishment in the center.

Hope this is helpful. Have fun creating.

Time to Bloom

Hello peeps!!!

Happy Monday !!!

Good morning ! I had a slow start this morning. Too much partying last night with a couple of friends-good food and a few good laughs. We did not realize it was past midnight. It was worth it though and it was long overdue. The last time we saw each other was a year ago.

Anyway, for some new ideas and new tools.

This card was inspired by the new punches- scallop trim border and scallop corner punch. The square punches worked perfectly as far as the size of the scallop square. I also incorporated a sketch from Mojo Monday.

RECIPE:

Stamps: Bella's Bloom

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Old Olive

Ink: Real Red, Old Olive

Accessories: stitched Real Red ribbon, brads

Here's a little something to celebrate Love.

Re-Introducing LOVE
You don't see enough of it.
Not because it isn't around,
but because people aren't looking.
Stop for a moment and look,
It's there.
all you have to do is use it.
Send it with flowers to your girl.
Take it home to your wife.
Hand carry it to mother, or dad.
Wear it around the neighborhood.
Salute the flag with it.
Share it with the rest of the world.
Love is 100% better than hate.
It does things and it gets things done.
With less effort.
At no cost.
You never have to replace it.
Because you never run out of it.
Love keeps fresh.
24 hours a day.
And the funny thing about it is,
the more you give of it,
the more you get out of it.
LOVE.
Use it everyday
It works !!!
