Thanks to Gretchen and SUDSOL, here is a tutorial on how to make Ric Rac in any color of card stock or Designer Paper.
You will need the NEW Stampin' Up! Scallop Edge Punch and it will be available to you in the new catalog on August 11th. If you would like to pre-order your catalog from me for $5, see THIS POST. You can also get it FREE with a $100 order placed with me in July.
Here is my card and the tutorial follows
I used a strip of card stock that was 1" wide. Punch a row of scallops
Flip your card stock strip over and line up the edge of your card stock in the middle of a silver scallop on the punch guide and punch. This strip ended with a whole scallop, see the next picture if you end with a half scallop
If you have a half scallop at the end of your strip, place the edge of the card stock on the guide between two scallops and punch
This is what your strip will look after this step, you can begin to see the Ric Rac!!
Continue lining up the scallops on the guide and punch to the end.
You can either punch both sides to the egde or use scissors to trim off the edges.
It is done!!! Now go use it on a card. :-)
Supplies used:
Card Stock - Rose Red, Taken with Teal, Whisper White
Ink - Pumpkin Pie and Taken with Teal markers
Bali Breeze Designer Series Paper
Flower Fusion Felt Flowers, Bold Brights Brads, Word Window Punch












































How totally cool is that!!!!! I predict lots of ric-rac cards in my future.
