The first thing you will need to do is to cut out a circle. Here I used my Coluzzle circle template and Coluzzle knife, but you can use any tool you have that will allow you to cut a circle such as: circle scissors plus, large circle punch, Cricut, etc.
Keep doing this all the way around the edge. It takes a little bit to learn how much you will need to move your punch over to punch again. You should be able to see your scalloped edge through your punch. I tend to punch again just when I can see the edge of my previous scallop through the back side of my corner rounder punch.
Here is a photo of what your scallop circle will look like once you have finished punching all the way around the edges.
You will want to carefully remove the outside edging from your scalloped circle. Sometimes you may need to cut it away from your circle and this is where your paper snips come in handy. Just carefully snip off the cardstock that wasn't cut all the way through with your corner rounder punch.
And that's about it, now you can proceed with completing your card or project. Like I said above, this technique can done with ovals too. I really like this method of making my scallop shapes because I can make them any size I need. And using my Coluzzle template is just perfect because then all I need to do is to cut out my stamped image using the next smaller size on my template and it's a perfect size layer.
And in case anyone is interested the photo below is of the card I was making with these scallop circles. I have posted this card on my blog before, but I needed to make more of these cards so I thought I might as well take a moment to share with everyone how I make my scallop circles.
If anyone would like some more information about the card I have pictured above you can find it here.
