Toni is our WTUI hostess this week, and she's challenging us to use our corner rounders this week. Her challenge is HERE.
Well - I started out by planning to use this penguin for my TPT card yesterday. But it didn't go AT ALL with my crimped envelope that I had made as step one, so I used something else yesterday, and was still left with this penguin (coloured nearly two years ago when I was sick) waiting to be used. And having used a stitched rectangle to cut him yesterday, I couldn't really round the corners on that panel! So, I did a search for corner rounder in the tutorials section, and oh my, the number of tutorials that came up! Including how to use a corner rounder to create a scalloped circle. Hands up who remembers doing that! Thank goodness for scalloped dies is all I can say. But it did get me thinking. And the criss-cross card is one that came up in my search, but the rounder was used on the insert and I couldn't do that because of my stitched rectangle die. However, I was able to use my corner-chomper to create a built-in tab on the blue matting layer. By sheer happenstance, when I was trimming it, I left my tab 1" wide and 1" higher than the rest of the matting layer, so the 1/2" corner chomper turned it into a lovely semicircle, whereas I had only expected a rectangular tab with rounder corners. I carefully put it in an ef to emboss the tab only, and rubbed it with gold to match the gold bellyband. The wrapping paper I used was a gift.
