Scalloped Ruffle

This is a card we made at my downline meeting. The technique they were learning was how to make the scalloped ruffle around the oval. Theirs turned out better than mine, I think I'm ruffle-challenged! But I thought I could show this to you anyway!


To make the ruffle, I used a 12x1 inch piece of designer paper. I punched a border with the Scallop Edge Punch, then ran it thru the crimper. Stamp your image and punch out. Then put sticky strip on the back side of your punched image. Starting with one end of your designer paper, attach it to the sticky strip, kind of gathering it as you go. Continue all the way around, it will take most of the 12 inch strip of paper. And that's basically all there is to it! I'd say practice makes perfect on this one, but it sure is fun to learn!
