Now for the details about my card. First I chose my DP. I love Basicgrey's Archaic line and thought it would be fun to use it as a Christmas card. So, I chose my colors based on this charming plaid.
I used my Stampin' Up markers to color my Christmas Stamp Ensemble sentiment from JustRite Stampers, and cut it out along with a few mats, with my Circle Nestabilities. To get the ridged edge, I just took the Scalloped Circle diecut and a slightly smaller circle and ran it through the cuttlebug. To be sure you have the right size circle to cut off only a portion of the scallops, you shouldn't be able to see any of the scallop sticking out the outside of the circle.
To finish it off, I added SU's Cranberry Crisp Stitched Ribbon, and punched the horizontal strip with a Martha Stewart Punch. Oh, I almost forgot, I also punche the top edges of my card with Su's corner tag punch.
ETA: I always forget to let people know the sizes of my cards, and they're rarely A2...*grin*
I was kindly asked to let you know in my blog entries. If I forget in the future, please remind me via my email. Today's base is 4" x 4". The circle scallop is the second to largest...I don't know the exact size, but you can make it as large as you want.
I hope you're having a fabulous day!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
Happy Stamping!!
Tosh
