Scallop Square #16 & #17 – Anyone for a Creme Egg box?

I totally forgot to post these at Easter….. Silly me…. as they were very popular with kids and adults alike…. And then I had to find Creme Eggs the other week…. ( as the originals had been eaten !! Don’t know who by!!??) which was harder than first imagined….. so a big thanks to Lisa for finally spotting some in the market..

I  used Creme egg co-ordinating colours for the first one  - along with the cute Everybunny stamp set and not-Creme Egg- colours for the other – along with the “old” Sale A Bration stamp set Fresh Vintage and the Postage Stamp Punch.

The Scallop Square die cut is just a regular 9 scallop square one for the box top and bottom on the Everybunny one. Just scored in 3 scallops from each side.

But spot the shorter lid and the little scalloped base on the Postage Stamp one… yes – these are also done using the Scallop Square die…. Another double-cut trick here.

1. Again cut card to one scallop larger than you require and at 1/2” per scallop  – so for this finished 4 scallop square base  - cut a 2 1/2” square to cover 5 scallops….. or a 4” square to cover 8 scallops for the 7 scallop lid piece.

2. Place the cut card piece over a corner of the die so that 5 scallops (or 8 for lid) are covered in each direction.

3. Die cut

4 Pick up your card piece, turn so that the scalloped edges are within your die and place 4 scallops (or 7 for lid) in on the 2 corner sides ( with the end scallops nicely lined up within the cutting edge of the die …)

5. Die cut.  Finished!! 

And here are some photos to show what all those words actually mean for the 4 scallop base – on the die so to speak!!

   

And for the shorter ( 7 scallop) lid – score in 3 scallops from 2 opposing sides and then  2 scallops in on the other 2 opposing sides….. The base is the regular 9 scallop die cut – scored 3 scallops in from each side.

Scallop Square Concertina Card aka Scallop Square #5

Yet more Everyday Enchantment SAB papers - and another use of the Scallop Square die..... guess you can see a pattern here!!

I have seen many versions of mini albums using this format - but I though I would do my own simple card version instead.

Though  - funnily enough - a version of a mini book will appear very soon as I have just finished one for my Simply Scrappin Tickets & Tags classes next week.....



I have used just one 4" x 12" piece of card to make the inner Very Vanilla pages - scored at 2", 6" and 10". Mountain folds at the sides and a valley fold in the centre. The 2" side flaps are attached to the scallop squares. I didn't take a picture at the time - but the back of the scallop square is finished off with a piece of 2" x 4" co-ordinating paper at the side of the attached 2" flap.


Stamp sets used: the central greeting from Outlined Occasions ( free with a £45 SU! order until 31st March!!) and the tag from the hostess set - Happiest Birthday Wishes. Again available free with a qualifying order...

Triangle Flap & Gate Fold Card aka Scallop Square # 4

Here is another card using the Sale A Bration Everyday Enchantment papers, Fresh Vintage stamp set - and the Scallop Square die.

This is a Gate Fold Card at the bottom with a Triangular Flap Fold at the top - all cut from the same piece of card. The flap is finished off with a scallop triangle cut from... yes you guessed it.... a scallop square die cut! And the other half of the scallop triangle didn't go to waste - I used that on the inside of the card......

This card was inspired by one here on Clearly iStamp .  I just tailored the dimensions to suit my scallop triangle.

The stamped image was punched out using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch - and again mounted on a 1 3/4" Scallop Circle. And all finished off with Baja Breeze Seam Binding.
