The perfect alignment for your square scallop trim punched cardstock

Hi Stampers. Thanks for visiting again.

I just wanted to do a quick post to help you lining up your corners and borders with the Scallop Trim punches. I think that the trick to perfect alignment starts with specific card stock measurements. Here I have for you the measurements for both the Scallop Trim and Pinking Hearts punches.

To get a perfect Scallop Trim square use the following measurements:

1 15/16″ x 1 15/16″
2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″
2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″
3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
3 13/16″ x 3 13/16″
4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″
4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″

To get a beautiful Pinking Hearts square use the following measurements:

2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″
3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
3 5/8″ x 3 5/8″
4″ x 4″
4 3/8″ x 4 3/8″
4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″

If you want to make some rectangles with your punches on your cards or scrapbook pages just combine any of the sizes mentioned above. For example, to make a Scallop Trim rectangle start with 2 7/8″ x 4 1/4″ card stock. To make a Pinking Hearts rectangle start with 3 1/4″ x 4 3/8″ card stock. It's that easy.. (smile)

Don't give up after trying it for the first time. It takes practice to get the hang of it but the look will be so stunning and you will be so happy you gave it a try. Enjoy playing with your SU punches!
