Default How to questions...

How are those wonderful circles made that are perfectly round and look like doilies?

How is it possible to use a decorative craft scissors to come out even on all edges when making a square?

TAQ:confused:

I'm going to assume you are talking about the ones with the scalloped edges. They are giga punches made by mcgil I believe and are super hard to find due to the fact they are back ordered. You can make decorative craft scissors work with a square but I find it almost impossible for me to achieve. Again you can use a punch.

I have not seen any decorative punches available, but I would be interested in knowing of some.

The punches are actually made by Marvy Uchida...at least the ones that are "popular" around here. They come in different sizes...giga, mega, super, etc. The giga is the biggest, followed by the mega. These seem to be the ones that are most used.

The punches come in a variety of shapes, but the ones that have caught attention are the scalloped oval, scalloped circle, regular oval, regular circle. As well as the scalloped square punches.

I got mine from www.morethanink.com They are really great! I've heard that there is a backorder problem across the board (doesn't matter what company) right now.

hi,
i was wondering what's the name of the cartridge you used to cut out the scalloped shapes? Thanks in advance.


Thanks for starting this topic TheAfricanQueen. One of my co-workers asked me yesterday if i could do "thank you" tags for her wedding. So i figured the scalloped style would look really nice.

I do not know what a Cricut is. Sorry. I think I'll go with what Godchick mentioned - a punch made by Marvy Uchida.

I too have been wondering how the scalloped circles are made for cards that have been posted.

I saw somewhere online directions for making a scalloped circle doile-sized circle using a non-circle punch. Unfortunately, I didn't print out the directions then and now I can't find it. It had something to do with aligning the stamp with a template OR lines that you drew on the back side of the paper. Has anyone else seen this site and be willing to share the address?

Thanks in advance!
Mary

Hi all,
I got this from another site about the scallop shape on the cricut cartridge:

Mini Monograms has a circle and square with scalloped edges.

Base Camp has a rectangle with the scalloped edges and Christmas Cheer has a tag with scalloped edges.

Thanks!

I haven't heard about the Planet Punch can you tell us more. Is it the same as a scalloped oval punch like the one I got online from CRAFTER'S TOY BOX SCRAPBOOKING SUPPLIES, or is yours different.

Yep, it's a template. I guess there are several different ones that are available. I don't have one yet but it seems interesting. Here's a link that I found https://www.shop.imacrs.com/displayP...&categoryId=61

To make squares even on all sides with a scalloped edge I recommend using a paper trimmer with a scalloped edge. For example I have the cutterpede trimmer and I purchased a scalloped edge blade for it. This creates scalloped edges that are even on all sides.
