Scallop Upsy Daisy



This card was so easy to create using the scallop die which is now available through SU!. I held the two circles together with silver brads and then scored under the brads for the ease of opening. The card opens at an angle in order to accommodate the image and balance everything out. I love that the unique shape of the card. This color combo is at the top of my list right now. I couldn't decide which card I liked better (the one stamped in gray or not quite navy), so I took a picture of both for you to look at. Which one is your favorite? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Supplies:
Stamps: Upsy Daisy
Paper: Baja Breeze, Urban Garden Designer Paper
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Basic Gray
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, silver brads, basic gray taffeta, kiwi kiss satin ribbon

Snow Swirled #2


I made a couple of changes to this card and think they were an improvement! There seemed to be too much white on the first card with the white scallop. What do you think?
You can now order from me online! Go to www.karieklund.stampinup.net
The Snow Swirled stamp set is now on sale until September 30!

Snow Swirled Sketch Challenge


I finally made a card with Beate's sketch! I wanted to use my new Christmas stamp set, Snow Swirled. This card came together easily with the use of many punches which are one of my favorite accessories. The scallop square was made by piecing together 4 of the scallop squares from the scallop square punch.
Recipe:
Stamp Sets: Snow Swirled
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Ruby Red, Shimmer White, Holiday Treasures Designer Paper
Accessories: Riding Hood Red Taffeta, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Square, 1 3/4" Circle Punch
