Stampin' Up just recently came out with a new Scallop Trim Border Punch and Corner Punch, featured in the Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Mini catalogs. Like a superhero duo, their forces combine to make squares and rectangles that are completely surrounded by a scallop edge!
I took one look at them in the catalogs, squealed with delight, and just had to buy them! I busted them out as soon as they came and then thought "Oh crap. How am I going to figure out what size squares and rectangles make the scallops align perfectly?". The thought crossed my mind to do the old guess and check, but that would require a huge waste of paper and probably an equally huge glass of wine...lol. So being the savvy searcher that I am...I Googled it. (When in doubt, Google it out!) Low and behold, I found a woman with the patience of a saint! She toiled until she figured out the exact measurements for each square and rectangle. So now I share with you the work of Gretchen Barron. My hat goes off to you Gretchen!
My edges will no longer remain straight. :)
