.: Scalloped aperture cards...........

Over time i have been looking for scalloped punche & realised how shockingly expensive they are,the smaller ones are not too expensive but the giga ones are outrageous.The smaller ones are ok but don't suit all the cards you would like to do.I came across the idea of how to get a scalloped edge using a corner punch.....Yes a corner punch a few euro & you can have any size or shaped scallop you want,oval,square,circle ect.I thought an aperture with the scallop looked good....lol.

Anyways i decided i would do a tutorial for anyone that wants to try this,it is not a brill finish as i was rushing so i could watch hells kitchen...............lmao

Ok here goes hope you find this easy girls,if not leave a comment & i will try to explain a little better...lol

Using a compass draw a circle on your card,you can also use a colluzzle ( which i have & forgot until i had finished the card...lol)

Cut out your circle

Using a contrast paper cut a larger circle to cover the one you have already cut on your card ( it is hard to see the contrast colour here sorry...lol)

Get your corner punch

Most corner punches have an end that can be removed.You need to remove it for this tutorial.

Push your card flat onto the end of your cutter,it has to be flat against it at all times

Where the knife points is where the next corner on your cutter starts each time,now when you start punching this you will think you are doing it wrong but your not just keep going....

This will be your finished product ...see i told you it would work....lol

Now you need to place it over the circle cut on your card

Turn it over & pencil in the circle on the back so it will be a perfect fit

This is what it will look like when you have finished cutting the circle.Note on the outside it is a little imperfect...That is because it wasn't a perfect circle for the punch but it is very easily disguised with a little ribbon or embellie.
