More Thank Yous

More thank you cards I had to get to people this Sunday! I had fun putting them together while watching a movie with my husband last night. Let me share how I made the 'sunburst' circle, using the circle scallop punch.

TRICK: Punch the cardstock using the circle scallop punch. Put a dot of adhesive on the circle and attach to a regular piece of white paper (computer paper). Punch again with the scallop punch, but 'twist' it, so you are cutting away a portion of each bump. Simple, easy, and makes something a bit different. The punches cannot punch through 2 pieces of cardstock, this is why you have to use regular paper.

HOW TO:
Paper: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White and Designer Paper Series - Urban Garden
Stamp Set: Fundamental Phrases, Holiday Blitz
Inks: Versamark, Basic Black, Close to Cocoa
Embellishments: grosgrain ribbon in Basic Black and Always Artichoke, Stampin' Dimentionals
Tools: Paper cutter, Circle Scallop punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1" circle punch
