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

  1. Step 1

    Carefully pull the corner guide off the corner rounder.

  2. 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.

  3. Punch your cardstock to create your first scallop.

  4. Step 3

    Line the left end of the corner rounder up with the right end of your first scallop.

  5. Punch again to create your second scallop.

  6. 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.

  7. Step 5 - Scallops on Circles

    Turn your corner rounder upside down. Line the cardstock up straight with the edge of your corner rounder bottom.

  8. Punch your first scallop.

  9. Step 6

    Line up the edge of the corner rounder with the end of your first scallop.

  10. Punch your second scallop.

  11. Step 7

    Continue to add scallops until you can't fit anymore on your circle.
    Sometimes it doesn't just add up right.

  12. 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.

  13. Step 9 (Optional)

    If you used ribbon to tie around your bookmark you might want to cover it up with more cardstock or patterned paper. Otherwise your ribbon might get snagged between the bookmark and the book pages.

Thanks for this excellent tip - unfortunately my corner stamp can't do this so i'll have to buy another one as I love the scolloped edge. Are these using the medium or large punch?

Sami-Squid, I used the corner punch Stampin' Up! is currently selling in the US catalog. It says it's a 3/16" corner rounder.

I've seen the tutorials on scalloping circles and straight edges with the corner rounder. How can you do say a 4" square and how do you do the corners?

Hi Pat,

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.
Hugs and smiles

I recently learned this technique. Use it all the time now. Only problem - the little pieces that I brush off into the floor when I miss the trash can.

It just never occurred to me that I could use it on a circle...I so much enjoy your tutorials. Keep "thinking outside the box."
