Scallops are my friend!

I am so happy that Stampin' Up! has a new scallop edge punch! I think it could possibly be one of my new favorite things! Yes, I do have scallop scissors-but you know I have a really hard time cutting straight!! I am getting better, because I'm practicing, but this punch is a no-fail! I love it!

So, I took a piece of Baja Breeze and cut it to about a 4 1/2" square, then used the scallop punch around the edges. The Chocolate chip layer is actually the card with a fold along the top. I brought out my Sweet Sampler set and stamped the flourish with Baja Breeze ink on Baja Breeze paper. I used my marvy uchida square punches-the blue and pink sizes to punch the squares-and then I lined my image with a 2 way glue pen and brought on the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter! The ribbon on the card is some chocolate chip taffeta...love that too! The for you came from the All Holiday stamp set...and I really love the font! It was stamped in the ever famous Chocolate Chip classic ink.

I hope you all have a wonderful day! I'm getting ready to place my first order from the new catalog and I'm so excited!! My list is a long one...we'll see what makes the final cut!! Thanks for stopping by and make it a great one!
