Corner Rounder - Making Scalloped borders
by Beate Johns
Use your corner rounder to add scallops to your cardstock.
Supplies
- Corner Rounder
- Cardstock
- Scissors
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Carefully pull the corner guide off the corner rounder.
-
-
Step 2 Straight Border
Turn your corner rounder upside down so you can see the bottom of it. Line the edge of your cardstock up with the edge of the punch.
-
Punch your cardstock to create your first scallop.
-
Step 3
Line the left end of the corner rounder up with the right end of your first scallop.
-
Punch again to create your second scallop.
-
Step 4
Continue to line your corner rounder up with the last scallop and punch out more scallops until your entire edge of the cardstock is done.
-
Step 5 - Scallops on Circles
Turn your corner rounder upside down. Line the cardstock up straight with the edge of your corner rounder bottom.
-
Punch your first scallop.
-
Step 6
Line up the edge of the corner rounder with the end of your first scallop.
-
Punch your second scallop.
-
Step 7
Continue to add scallops until you can't fit anymore on your circle.
Sometimes it doesn't just add up right.
-
Step 8
Use scissors to cut of the leftover piece.
If that creates a noticable gap, place some ribbon or hardware stragetically over it when finishing your project.

I haven't tried making a scallop square yet. I usually use my Nestabilities dies for that.
But if I were to try, I would start punching all four corners with the corner punch while it has the corner guide on. Then take the guide off and punch the rest. It might not fit perfectly (just like for the oval/circle) and you might have to fix it like in Step 7 and Step 8 here in the tutorial. I hope this helps.

I used an EK success corner punch that used to be sold by Stampin' Up! I am not sure if they still carry it.

Marsha,
What the best die cutting machine is for you depends on what dies you want to be using. I use mostly Spellbinders dies and love my Grand Calibur. If I use Sizzix dies, I use the Big Shot die.
Why don't you check in our forums under tool/product talk and see if you can find discussions there about that topic.
Hugs and smiles
