I think this is such a cute card. I love getting ideas on how to use my score-pal too! Great tutorial!

I love this! It's so sweet :o) Can you tell me what size circle the outermost ring on the Colulzzle is? I don't have a Coluzzle but think I could still create the look using my own circle cutter. Thanks!

Can you tell me what you used to cut the scallop edged circle mat?

Who sells the scoring tool? And how did you cut the scallop piece?

I just purchased a Coluzzle online using Ebay. It arrived very promptly and is a great tool. They have all shapes too!
Debbie  |  Wed Apr 2, 2008 at 4:08 PM
What a great card. I xan't wait to try it myself.
For those wondering SU makes a round scallop punch. It could be used to make this card. Friskar's paper trimmer comes with an orange blade. You can buy a black scoring blades to fit on you regular Friskar paper trimmer.

Just wanted to know where you found the magnet snaps. I have been looking everywhere for them. I am very limited in my area of the country.
Thanks,
Maureen

Kathy, I used my Nestabilities (Die Cuts and Big Shot machine).
Rose Ann  |  Wed Apr 2, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Donna, The scoring tool is a Scor-Pal, and may be purchased directly. Archivers also carries them, as well as Eclectic Paperie.
