A New Scallop Punch!

I've had quite a few people ask about the new scallop edge punch that Stampin' UP! will be offering in the upcoming 2008 Fall--Winter Idea Book & Catalog.  Here is a picture of one of my convention swap cards that uses just a tiny bit of the border punch:


Scallop-1


The stamp set is also new and it is called Dreams du Jour.  I used Elegant Eggplant and Pretty in Pink.  The "dreams" image is stamped on shimmery white cardstock and has a beautiful, subtle sparkle.


Scallop 2


The scallop border punch works in 2 inch increments and the scallops on the long part act as a guide for continuous punching.  Therefore, you can now create long scallop borders without much effort!


Scallop-3  


The individual scallops measure approximately 3/8", and as you can see in the photo, 1 inch is equal to about 2-1/2 scallops.


This punch will be available to order on August 11th and will sell for $15.95 US.  It looks like there will be many MUST-HAVE items from the new catalog.  Consider joining a club to budget your purchases this fall and receive some great freebies!  The first 15 people to join will also receive the Spring-Summer 2008 Collection (current catalog), a Decor Elements brochure, and a hand crafted card.


Happy Stampin'
