Tied Scallop Tag Topper Card

SUPPLIES:
set - painted petals
cs - pistacio pudding, IC DSP, gold foil, whisper white
ink - crisp cantaloupe and pistacio pudding pads
access - tag topper punch, pistacio pudding ruffled stretch ribbon, dimensionals, stampin' pierce mat


Start with the pp cs in the landscape mode and line up the tag topper punch edge with the edge of the cs.  Push the cs all the way in and punch.  Do the same to the other side, being sure that you line up the same edge on opposite sides. Cut off below and above the punches, saving the small pieces you cut off for the next project. Score the tab on the right side and 4-1/4" from there.  This becomes the back of the card.  Dawn has a good video tutorial for this type of card HERE.

Scallop Tag Topper 2, 4, 6, 8 Box, before assembly

I saw a tutorial for this box a year ago on Stampin' Connection, but don't remember the demo's name and can't find the video.  The photo looks green, but it's really Coastal Cabana.  First SCORE the box on the 8-1/2" side at 2", 4", 6" and 8", then turn it 90 degrees and score at 2" on the 5- 1/2" side.  You will punch two of the sections with the scallop tag topper punch on the 2" x 3-1/2" section.  Cut as indicated, cutting off the small sections and leaving a 1/2" tab.  Decorate the middle and top pieces with DSP.  Attach the tab with sticky strip or fast fuse.  The top flaps between the scallop sections will fold down to hide the box's contents.  The 2" flaps on the bottom are folded in and adhered with strong adhesive to create the box.  Finish decorating as desired.

Happy Stamping!  Mary
