The common thread in my cards from last night’s Facebook Live (besides the You’re a Peach Suite) is the large scalloped die in the background. It comes from the Scalloped Contour die set, and it makes such a great panel for matting designer paper!
All of the projects in this post are from last night’s Facebook Live. I am adding pictures and dimensions here for easy reference, but you may need to see the video for complete instructions.

Thank you for any help you can give me in Likes, Shares, and orders in the online store. It is my goal to continue to bring you project ideas for free, and your support helps.
The first card I showed uses standard card base, 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. As you can see, one of the Stitched Rectangles dies (the second largest) fits the scalloped die quite nicely.
I cut the designer paper on my next card to 3 9/16″ x 4 7/8″ so that just the outer edge of the scallops show.
This card is a z-fold, made exactly like the one shown in a previous Live (click here for that post), except that I substituted the scalloped die for a cut mat.
The Pale Papaya base measures 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″ and the Basic White mat measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″.
I like how this card stands for display – the front is slightly in front of the back panel, parallel to the back panel.
My next two cards are Twisted Easel Cards, propping up a full-size scalloped contour die in the first example, and a shortened scalloped square in the second example.
The card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. scored at 4 1/4″. The twisted easel is made when a 45-degree diagonal score line is added from the fold of card (at bottom left of the card front) to the right edge (4 1/4″ from the bottom right corner).
I CASEd the catalog for my focal point. I used a piece of Basic White that measures 2 1/4″ x 3″ and a 1/2″ strip of designer paper.
My last card combines a bookbinding edge with the twisted easel. The card base is Balmy Blue, 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and 6 3/4″.
The designer paper is from You’re a Peach, but I used Floral Squares dies for the focal point on this card.
In this case, a diagonal score line is added from the edge of the flat section to the top right corner of the card. On this card, I added an embossed Balmy Blue mat (4 1/8″ square) behind the scalloped die piece. The designer paper pieces measure 3 9/16″ square and 1″ x 4″.
Sorry about the sixteenths in the measurements 🙂 I am basing those dimensions on the dies in the collection!
I have added a YouTube video below for this card only. It gives complete instructions on the fold and also on shortening the scalloped die piece to a square. If you are receiving this post in an email, click here for the video.
