Here is a video tutorial on how to do the scallop circles and ovals that are all the rage right now. The bonus with this is that you can sell a punch AND a Coluzzle all in one technique. Hope this boosts your sales, as much as it did mine
LOVE IT!!!!! Now I just have to buy the new corner rounder for $6.95 instead of hunting for the Uchida punches and paying through the nose!! You're a genious and a money saver!!!! THANK YOU!!!
I agree...the tutorial was great and your nails looked fantastic! I will have to give the corner rounder scallop another try....never quite get it looking right. Jan
Thanks anyway Julie..i tried that also..in 15min. of watching i had only moved 30 sec..lol..i don't have a corner rounder punch anyway....looks like a great idea though...loves ya

This is great!! Thanks because I can never find the mega and giga scalloped punches plus they are sooooo expensive that I just can't break down to spend all that money on ordering them.
I do have one question, you mentioned using an odd numbered groove in the coluzzle, can you explain why that matters?

I found that it worked out better to use the odd numbered lines. To explain, ummmm, if you use an even numbered one, it does not seem to match as closely at the end, like you will have too much or too little left to punch. KWIM ??
You Rock, Julie! Thank you so much for this little WoW! I have girls coming over now and can't wait to show them this new trick!
Thx again!
p.s. I just put your blog in my favs and I only wish I had all this tech knowledge to have a blog and upload too!
TTFN, Shelly

I know exactly what you mean! In the original post (probably yours) where I saw the step by step tutorial, I think it used the 5th circle and I didn't realize that I could substitue other odd numbered circles as well...that is good to know!
When I did this for my "retirement party" stamp a stack we used Nice and Easy notes and I wanted them to do a scalloped circle so we used the slit punch and but the inside out of the circle then punched around it...what I found with my customers was that some of them have a VERY hard time controlling the up and down movement of the punch and kept getting "off track" with a very bizarre "wandering" scallop line. I eventually fixed that by cutting the innards out of the circle and then going back and cutting it out the rest of the way with the largest circle so they could tell when they were getting "off track" and up too high on the paper. I used the slit punch for this project because I was already using the corner rounder to make a straight lined scallop on another project and wanted them to try it both ways.
While I found it easier to line up the slit punch, the approach is more difficult since you have to work from the inside of the circle instead of the outside like the corner rounder. slit punch equals upside "U" while corner round equals "U". I realize that makes no sense at all without seeing the pictures so go watch the tutorial at the beginning of the thread and it will all make sense.
