Scallop Joy Card

Here's a unique shaped card: finished size is 4-1/2" x 4-1/2". The Scallop square is a SU Exclusive Die. I wanted to keep the scallops at the top of the card - see below details on "how" to do this card. The letters do hang over the frame of the card a bit but I think it is OK.

To make this project:
(2) Scallop Squares in Chocolate Chip
(1) 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" Old Olive CS
(1) 3-1/3" x 3-1/2" Merry Moments Designer Series Paper
(1) Punched Jumbo Snowflake in Chocolate Chip
(1) 3-3/4" x 3-1/2" Very Vanilla for card inside
(1) "J" and "Y" from the Serif Essentials Die in Real Red
(1) "&" from the Serif Essentials Die using Merry Moments Designer Series Paper
(1) "cheer" from SU Exclusive Join in the Cheery Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die in Real Red

To keep the scallop at the top of the card, cut CS, plan the core line 3/8" from the top of the scallop. Cut the CS a min of 1/4" beyond the top of the scallop. Mark where the top of the CS should be placed on the die.
Here you can see the scored CS positioned below the arrows:

In addition, to maintain the scallop at the top, it is best to add the sticky tape above the score line NOW before the card is cut. Then place the 2nd piece of CS on top and run through Big Shot.

Now remove the sticky tape backing and adhere top and bottom CS.

Use 3/16" Corner Rounder punch for all 4 corner of Old Olive and Merry Moments Designer Series Paper as well as inside Very Vanilla CS.

Adhere dimensionals behind the Old Olive CS. Add 1/4: Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon and finish with single knot in card front.

Add dimensionals to the Die cut letters and punched Jumbo Snowflake as shown below:

Adhere letters to card front, Adhere "&" and "cheer to inside card and project is finished!
