Stampin’ Up! Scallop Tag Topper Punch Card Closure!

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've had one of those rare days when I was able to stamp and play all day! I didn't even get out of my jammies! yay!

I completed 4 new cards, and have a fifth one almost done, but I took a break to take pics of the completed ones and get this blog post up!

I will be eeking these out to you over the next few days! Here's the first one using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch to create a unique and fancy card closure:

When I first saw this card online, I thought the Scalloped Tag Topper ends were actually the ends of a belly-band wrapped around the card, but closer inspection reveals they are punched into the edges of the card and then the excess on each side are cut away with the Paper Trimmer! Such a NEAT idea! This card also doesn't require any more than the standard card base dimensions of 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"!

I used a stamp from my sadly neglected A Round Array for the greeting set amongst the Pool Party/Petite Petals-punched flowers.

Natural 5/8" Chevron Ribbon and Pool Party 1/2" Seam Binding blend perfectly with the Baked Brown Sugar in the Fresh Prints Designer Paper and the Coastal Cabans flowers.

A close-up of the closure.

The inside is stamped with one of the stamps from the Sale-a-bration See Ya Later. I used some of my painter's tape to mask off the cloud and the sun when I inked it with Baked Brown Sugar ink, then removed the tape before stamping.

This card could be for several different occasions, but I decided to make it a birthday card with a single phrase from Petite Pairs!
