Scalloped Edges

Decorative edges are back right after I got rid of all of my fancy scissors. That's okay, I never could cut very straight with them anyway. What do you use to get a decorative (scalloped or otherwise) edge on a straight edged paper?

Most of the time I like straight or distressed edges (torn) I have a pair of scissors like that and don't even use them often. Idk why?

Tearing makes sense. (duh) Thanks, Tocarra!

I also like tearing and distressing, but have bought myself a Fiskars Border Punch (Threading Water), which I love, and have just ordered another border punch I couldn't get the scissors to work like I wanted either......

Threading waters...I'll look it up. Thanks!

those scissors make your edges crocked! You end up cutting up most of the paper and throwing it away than making use of it.

I bought it today! Thanks for the tip. Have you ever threaded anything through the holes?

I'm so happy I could help! Yes, I have threaded narrow ribbon through the holes, but usually just leave them the way they are.

Here are a few examples where I have used it:



On this one I have crumpled up the edges after punching

I love your work, Ingrid. I'm not much of a card maker, but I love the gate fold with ribbon close! The layout is gorgeous. Blue is one of my favorite and most frequently used colors and I'm a big fan of brackets!

have to invest in something like that! thanks for the tip Ingrid!
