Remember them? I found a pack of unused square scallop edge
card blanks in the depths of my craft cupboard. It took me back to my
early days of card making, they were all the rage and I thought they were state
of the art. Now there's all manner of different shapes to tempt us.
As these were the only cream card blanks I could find and to make them
work for this design I trimmed the edge off the square to make them standard
a6. Now I kind of like scallop edges
again and they work so well with this pretty stamp set.

Ohh love that stamp set x
ReplyDeletehaha, the scalloped edge! I'm still partial to using the odd scallop now and again, but I know what you mean, they feel a bit retro already!
ReplyDeleteoh these are beautiful Vicky!!! love your stamp set too .. LOL .. need this on my list now too :)
ReplyDeleteThe colours you used are gorgeous!! for some reason memento inks never stamp up great for me, do you have any tips?? I love versafine, but they don't have the range of colours that memento have. :) xxx
I'm not a stamping expert but it could be because the stamp is new. I had to stamp a few times on scrap paper before getting a clear impression. I like Versafine too, more colours would be good :)x
DeleteSo beautiful Vicki - CAS at it's best! Love the stamps and colours.

Hi Vicky, your cards are absolutely beautiful and I love how you trimmed them down, makes them look very original. The stamping is superb.... Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteHi Vicky, these two cards are beautiful, exactly the style I like. I must be old-fashioned, but I'm quite partial to a scalloped edge! These are adorable little vases. Perfectly CAS! Kx
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Vicky, really love the colours together...liking the scallop edges too !!

Funnily enough I dug mine out at the weekend too! There's nothing like a straight edge card is there. You've proved that scallop and CAS go together very well.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Love a bit of bling and large bows etc but you really can't beat clear and simple...a few of these wrapped in a ribbon would make a lovely gift.
ReplyDeletePerfect CAS cards Vicky... love them!!
ReplyDeleteRe Marlou's question.... PTI suggest using a rubber on a clear stamp to begin with... and I must admit, I find that works well!

Thanks for the tip Christine will give that a try :)x
DeleteVery pretty and perfectly CAS! xx
ReplyDeleteI used some low tack tape over the top of a new stamp before inking it - it really does help. I do find that the acrylic stamps do take a bit more work than rubber but are well worth it!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Vicky and I love that you have scallops at the top and bottom but straight on the outer edge - gorgeous Karen x
