Make Merry Scallop Card

Hi Gang.

I thought I would show you this cute little scallop card today.  The Big Shot makes this card super quick and easy. You cut your Old Olive scallop first with the Big Shot.  You then take a Real Red standard size card.  Add a strip of this gorgeous new Christmas Cocoa DS paper from the Holiday Mini (It is flocked and oh so lovely.) that is cut to 2" x 4" to the folded edge of the card.  Take a 4" strip of the mistletoe white ribbon and adhere it on top of the DS paper.  You will then run this whole card through the Big Shot using the clear circle die.  Be sure to place the folded edge just inside of the cutting blade. Look through the die to make sure the ribbon and DS are over each edge of the die blades. (In other words, you want the ribbon and DS to be cut.) The Big Shot will cut through the ribbon as well as all of the card stock and paper.  Isn't that great? 

For the focal point, stamp your wreath from Berry Christmas (Holiday Mini)  in Old Olive then lift and rotate just slightly and stamp again without re-inking.  This will give you the two tones of green.  Next, you will add the berries with Real Red and the greeting in Basic Black.  Take a piece of the Old Olive Taffeta and tie it in a knot and then adhere it to the top of the wreath using a glue dot.  You can then round your corners on your whisper white and Old Olive.  Layer and add this to the card using dimensionals.  That's it!  I hope you try one of these. They are so fun.
