I have seen tons of threads asking where you can find these punches, and I've personally searched hi and low also, but I decided to try makin my own! If you have a coluzzle circle template and scallop deco scissors, you can make the scalloped circles! You can even make the scalloped squares and ovals if you have those templates, and you can't even tell the difference between the punch and the coluzzle template! Just cut the circle (or square or oval) from the coluzzle and then go around it with the deco scissors Hope that helps someone
The other thing you can do is cut the circle, square or oval with the Coluzzle, then use the slit punch to go around the 'negative' of the shape and make your own scallops. HTH
scrapbookgoddess.com has the giga and mega punches! She'll order them for you too if she doesn't have what you want. I have found her to be quick to ship and very sweet!

You are so smart!
Off to get my Coluzzle and find those scissors and try this out.

Thanks EM!
The problem with finding the punches is that the manufacturer who makes them (in Japan) for Uchida has had a problem on site. They do not expect to have any to Uchida until late March now.
Either way, have fun tryin to make them by hand, that was a creative idea!
I discovered this trick a few weeks ago. I love the scalloped look but don't use it enough to justify the cost of the punches. Will the Coluzzle and the scalloped scissors look EXACTLY perfectly like a punch? No. But nobody except yourself will notice and that's one of the fun things about handmade items. They ain't perfect.
fyi coluzzle has the scalloped shapes. it might be a little more time consuming but it is a lot cheaper. i have also been looking for the scalloped shapes and totally forgot that i had these.
Make Your Own Giga and Mega Punches!
Hope that helps someone
