Supplies and Tools: 

· Scor-Pal®

· Base cardstock: 4-1/4” x 9-3/4”

· Mat Cardstock Layer: 4-1/8” x 4-1/16” 

· Front Cardstock Layer: 4” x 3-15/16”

· Flap mat: 1-1/8” x 4-1/8” 

· Flap Front Cardstock Layer 1” x 4”

· Local image—can be a stamped image,

· a punched image or a silk flower

· Adhesive

· Coluzzle circle and circle companion template

· Marvy Giga Scalloped punch

· Decorative brad, eyelets—your preference

· Crop-a-Dile (or your preferred eyelet setter if

            you use eyelets)

Step 1:

Score base layer at 4-1/4” and 8-1/2”.

Step 2:

Trim 1/16” off of the end 4-1/4” panel. 

This allows your card to fold properly

without crushing the inner edge of the card.

Step 3:

Adhere front cardstock layer to its mat layer.

Step 4:

Using a circle cutter of your choice, cut two partial circles, one a mat layer, and one a front layer 1/8” or 1/16” smaller. (I found it simplest to get the top layer the size I wanted it, then use my Perfect Layers tool to trim

the mat circle’s straight edge to the width I wanted after adhering the top layer).

Adhere matted semi-circle to the card front. 

Attach with eyelets or brads, or sew.

Step 6:

On the narrow flap, mat a decorative border.

Attach to card. Scallops look nice. If your decorative paper is not scalloped use a Stampin’ Up! Slit punch to make a scalloped edge.

Step 5:

Adhere the card front to the base cardstock.

Step 7:

Mount your focal image on the Giga Scalloped circle.

Apply glue to only one side of the back of the scalloped layer. 

If you glue both sides, you will not be able to

tuck your small flap underneath your top layer.

If you want to use a ribbon as a card closure, sandwich

it between the scalloped image back and the card front.

Step 8:

I used an Ellison Daisy die to punch flower layers from

SU Real Red and Cosmo Cricket Dutch Girl cardstock.

I used a Making Memories large eyelet as my flower center.

When you close the card, the short flap should tuck between the card front and the scalloped circle. The card measures 4 1/4” x 4 1/4”.
