This adorable Scallop Notes Card Holder was one of the fabulous projects I learned how to create at Stampin' Up! Regionals in Minneapolis. I think it would be a charming "little something" gift for a party or dinner host.
Here are the step by step instructions (reprinted for the most part from my Stampin' Up! worksheet):
1. Stamp bird image twice in Chocolate Chip ink on each small piece of Very Vanilla card stock (2 1/4" x 4") for four total stamped images. Punch out three of the images using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch. Cut out the fourth image.
2. Adhere each punched bird image to a Scallop Note using Stampin' Dimensionals.
3. Attach Silver Brad to center of each felt flower and adhere one to each Scallop Note. Set fourth flower aside.
4. Stamp sentiment in Chocolate Chip ink on each Scallop Note.
5. Place each large piece of Designer Series paper (4 1/4" x 3") partially inside an envelope. Lick envelope flaps to adhere Designer Series paper. Cut Designer Series paper to shape of envelope flaps. I loved this idea!
6. Lay Very Vanilla card stock (9 3/4" x 6") out lengthwise and score at 4 3/4" and 5". Rotate 90 degrees and score a 2 1/2". Fold on score lines to create card folder. TIP: I added a little sticky strip to the pocket flap to adhere it to the "backbone."

Thank you for such a resounding "hurrah" for yesterday's card by my Guest Stamper Mike Funke. He emailed me today that his beautiful water coloring was accomplished using Stampin' Up! markers. Check out this tutorial by Julie Buhler he relied on (also on my left side bar).
