Scallop Border Tutorial

 

Try this out! It really is super easy- grab a scrap strip of DSP you have lying about, mark down one side every 1/2″, 3/4″, or 1″ fold on the tick mark insert into the corner rounder section of the Detailed Trio punch or any corner rounder you may have- punch and continue this fold/punch down the strip of paper and play with this technique!

Narrow marks make a kind of pointy scallop look like in the photo with the drumstick ice cream,

1″ marks make a wide rounded scallop like on the card with the grape popsicle.

If you mark every other side of your paper like in the blackberry popsicle it makes a unique trim element.

Here are some more photos of this idea!

I marked every other side at 1″ – it’s hard to see the difference in this small section but the look is really fun.
