of ribbon, can't tie a bow for the life of you, or need something and the ribbon just doesn't look right? How about creating your own fancy ribbon with paper? With this punch you can, the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch( 119275). With each squeeze of the punch, it cuts both sides of the paper so you end up with a wonderful scalloped strip
See, even the reindeer is amazed by the punch, just check out his expression. On this card, I have used it in place of ribbon to cover the seam between the Designer Series Paper and the card base.
Here is the punch from page 201 in the 2010-11 Idea Book and Catalogue.
And here is the entire card, a perfect card for mailing without the extra bulk of ribbon. The reindeer from Holiday Line up are stamped onto Very Vanilla with Black Stazon and colored with blender pen and watercolor crayons. The Designer Series paper is from Jolly Holiday (117159) a absolutely beautiful pack of Christmas papers. If you haven't started your Christmas cards yet, what are you waiting for? It's only thirteen weeks from Saturday!!!!
Happy Stamping,
