Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - Sensational Scallops

Time once again for the monthly PTI blog hop - here are the details:

Sensational Scallops!

This month we decided to dedicate the Blog Hop to scallops! We want to see your best use of scallops, of any sort, on a project! This can include scalloped borders, offset-scallops, stamped scallops, scalloped mats, scalloped frames, layered scallops, scalloped tags or anything else you can dream up! You can use dies, patterned scissors or even circle punches in a row to achieve your special look.

Just in time for the blog hop, my recent order arrived yesterday so I made time to play and here are the results:

* A little side story - when I saw this set of stamps featuring buttons, it practically called my name!  Growing up, my Grandmother worked for Singer -- the sewing machine and supplies place -- and she amassed a LARGE quantity of buttons which she sorted by color into small jars. As a little girl, I would get those jars out and sift through the buttons, looking for the prettiest, or matching the designs, or making color combos with groups of buttons. So I have always had a love of buttons and couldn't resist when Papertrey released this set!

Ok, on to card details. I stamped the button card image from Button Boutique with Versamark on a kraft top-fold card base. Along the left side, I added a scalloped border with the new Pacific Vineyard paper. I stamped the jar from Friendship Jar on cream cardstock, cut it out and stamped a variety of buttons inside the jar. The jar topper is paper pieced from the DP and the tag was pieced as well. To add some dimension, I included a couple of scallop-edged die cut buttons in the jar and a simple knotted ribbon (new Royal Velvet) on the tag. The jar is sitting on a portion of a die cut doily, also from the Pacific Vineyard paper.

Thanks for stopping by and watch for more new PTI goodness soon!
