TLC320 ~ Punched Circle Edge ~ (4/11/11)

[joan ervin]

Hello everyone...it's my turn to host this weeks TLC challenge.....Whoohoo!!! My challenge to you is called punched circle edge.

My Belli Challenge teammate, Shelly, developed a super cool technique to make a round scalloped border for a round image using a straight edges scalloped border punch....how cool is that!!!???!!! She created a wonderful tutorial for this technique...you can see it here on her blog. Thanks, Shelly, for sharing this awesome technique with us!!!!!

This is a wonderful technique for those of us who don't have a lot of fancy scalloped circle dies!!!

This is how I created my punched circle edge:

1. Cut a piece of patterned paper 1"x 12"
2. Use a small scalloped punch to punch one of the long sides.
3. Now, cut in from the long unpunched side towards the scalloped edge every 1/4 inch along the whole piece....be careful not to cut into the scalloped area. Cut off about 1/2 inch from the unpunched side so it will be easier to curve around a circle. The whole piece will be about 1/2 wide. You can cut your piece 1/2 " x 12" to begin with but it's a little harder to manage punching the border with such a thin piece.
4. Adhere double sided tape to the back of the round main image layer along the outside curve
5. Adhere the punched border to the backside making sure the punched edge shows from the front. Overlap the clipped pieces so it curves around the round layer. Tape the piece to the back so it's secure.

Wonderful challenge and technique today, Joan. Gives many of our straight punches double-life. Thanks! Thanks to Shelly too.

It is like the old sewing technique of creating a smooth curve when setting in a sleeve. Clever gals who translate it to paper.

Interesting technique that really extends the use of our punches. Next time I'll have to try it on a larger circle!

Sorry, I don't get it I tried it acccording to what I understood your instructions to be and it certainly didn't work. Is there a video somewhere? I learn much better by seeing it done. thanks
