Tonight is the night! Pre-orders for these incredibly versatile scalloped punches will begin TONIGHT at midnight EST! We will be one of the few websites to have ALL twenty punches available! We’ll be anxiously awaiting your arrival when the pre-order page goes live at midnight!
While you’re waiting, here is a really quick & easy project I came up with last night using the Giga scalloped oval punch. An itty-bitty purse!
1. Punch the scalloped oval out of patterned paper. Flip it over and score on either side of the center scallops.
2. Cut a length of ribbon and adhere one end to the "bottom" of your purse with a glue dot. Loop the ribbon up the side to form your first handle. Pierce holes near the top of each side of the handle and attach brads. Repeat the handle process on the opposing side. Glue dot the remaining end of your ribbon to the bottom as well.
3. Punch a second scalloped oval from a coordinating patterned paper. Repeat the same scoring process done in step one.
4. Adhere the second oval inside the purse to line it and cover up the backs of your brads. I inserted an individually wrapped strawberry lifesaver.
This purse could also hold a Starburst candy, a couple quarters or a tightly folded dollar bill for a child’s birthday, or even an accordion folded set of index print size photos. As I always say, the possibilities are endless!
Papers: polka dots from Paper Salon, stripes from Chatterbox

That is so cute! Also, the same lines you used to score your paper…you can cut on those and make a little label. This can be done from the square scallop punch too. It is really cute. I got that idea from Asela at Hop Art Studio. Love your blog and thanks for sharing such great ideas for your products. That makes such a difference!
