Scallop Edge Medallion

by Alesha Walls

Create a medallion with your scallop edge punch.

Supplies

  • Cardstock
  • Scallop Edge Punch (or other similar punch by Fiskars®)
  • Paper Cutter

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Cut card stock to a 2¾" square.

  2. Step 2

    Place the cardstock in the punch so that an equal amount of card stock is showing on each side of the punch. The gridlines on the base of the punch will help with alignment.

    As long as it’s centered, it will turn out well.

  3. Step 3

    After punching the first side, rotate the card stock and punch again, making sure the card stock is centered on the gridlines.

  4. Step 4

    Punch all four sides of your square this way.

  5. A finished scallop edge medallion.

  6. Step 5

    Attach the medallion. Either leave the medallion as is, or you can weave card stock, ribbon or material through the gap. For this card, a strip of card stock was woven between the gaps in the medallion.

  7. Step 6

    Try adding a scalloped edge to your envelope. Center the scallop punch on the flap of the envelope and punch.

  8. After the first punch, line up your scallops with the scallop images on the punch and punch again. Repeat until your entire envelope flap is punched.

    There will still be enough adhesive to seal the envelope.

  9. Step 7

    A complete set – a beautiful card with a scallop edge medallion and a matching envelope with a scallop edge flap.

Variations

    Different Sizes
    You can make larger or smaller scallop edge medallions if you play around with the size of the square.

Just found you as guest designer for ODB.
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Also for the directions for your card. Many designers take for granted that everyone knows exactly what to do. I appreciate your time and sharing.

As many have said before me. That is awesome. It really looks great and will dress up a card beautifully. I love that you can thread
a ribbon or whatever threw the opening.
Great job!

What a cool idea. Also threading the paper thru it. Just too neat...

This is so beautiful, I was wondering if you can do this with the new style of the scallop punch. I couldn't seem to get it to work with the scallop but I could with the new style of the heart punch. Thank you!

I love this technique and use it with other edge punches as well but cannot find this listed as a technique when I browse the spotlight techniques section. Nor can I find it when I am choosing a gallery to put a finished card in. Can you help. Where has it gone?

Hi Margaret,
We don't create galleries for tools, so we opted not to create one for this medallion. If you add scallop Edge Medallion into the keyword section, people will find it when they put that into our gallery search engine.

Hugs and smiles

I loved this technique the first time I saw it, but consequently forgot about it. Just checked it out again, and have made my first one. I will definitely be making more. Thanks for sharing this great technique with us Alesha.
