I *like* them, but after seeing them used so much I am starting to get bored of them already. I own one circle scallop punch, and that is plenty for me. (for now ;))

I have one...spent a small fortune on the darned thing and haven't used it. But, summer is just around the corner, I will be out of school, not teaching summer school (for money, at least) so maybe I will have time to break it out and play. We'll see...
I'm definitely not the "girly-girl" type, but I still like the look of cards made using the scalloped punches. I think it's all in the choice of colors and embellishments whether or not the finished project looks dated or country-cute.

I'm usually conservative with my supply purchases, but once I used the Marvy scallop punches I was hooked! If you like the look, it's a great investment. We all have our own style and that's what makes this site so great!!

I only have the Giga size, and I have the square, oval and circle. I won't buy the other shapes or sizes. I can make a rectangle with the squares, so I'm fine. But I do like how sometimes it makes a REALLY quick card!
I had no idea that leggings under skirts were back in. (But then again if I have to put on a skirt, it's a bad day, unless someone is getting married.) At any rate, a scalloped punch will never cross my threshhold, mostly because I don't seem to have many sets for which it would work. And I'm still trying to figure out the slit punch, the word window punch, and the tag punches. I guess that means that in about two years I'll be discovering the scallop punches ( ! )
I have to see if there are others out there willing to admit they are not into the scalloped punch craze. I think some things with it are cute but the look of it is just too Frilly and Frou Frou for me.
It reminds me of the mid 80's to mid 90's country look. But hey, leggings under skirts are back, I guess this is too.
No scallops are very different then the 90's country look.
I like the punches a bit but I can get the same look with my Cricut. I don't think I could own more than 2 scallops and definitely not 20 of them!! They are huge!! Plus, I like my cards to look a bit different from each other and I think that if you used those punches on every project they might all look similar.
Hmmm I do scallops in almost all my cards and they are completely different from each other.
Had mine for at least 4 years, possibly even 5, I think, before they became popular--when they were only available as button punches. Like, you, Novell, I've most definitely gotten my money's worth out of them.
Trendy? Sure! Trends cycle in and out all the time. :mrgreen: I liked 'em before they wuz trendy, and I'll like 'em after they iz no m'oah, cuz I just *loves* scallops and always did, so it really doesn't matter to me!
As stamping "fashionistas", perhaps the only real question for us is:
"Does this punch make my butt look big?" :shock:
Bwa ha haaaaaaa!!! geeze, I crack myself . . . :p
OK, I definitely need some Starbucks . . . :rolleyes:
I am a punch addict. I've been collecting these for a couple of years now each time I see one. I have all of them except the rectangles. I like to combine the different shapes on one card sometime, too. I am a girly girly through and through and almost always have been. (Except that when I was really little I was the only girl in the neighborhood. I only wanted jeans and my gun and holster and bandana....no shirt necessary....)
I just have visual that you're standing over your craft table with cardstock and a big 'ole butcher knife muttering "Dang it, a scallop, not a zig zag!"
LOL
