Stamped & Scalloped Cards
All you need are scalloped-edge scissors, stamps, paint, and rubber cement to make these cards! Simply cut the paper along one edge of the card and use whatever stamps you like. When making several cards, you can make them the same or use different stamps so that no two cards are alike.
Basic Supplies:
- Assorted cardstock
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scalloped edge scissors
- Stamps
- Paint
- Foam brush
- Tape runner

- Cut white paper to desired size (cut 8" x 6" and then fold in half to make a 4" x 6" card).
- Cut a piece of brown paper that is 4" x 6".
- With scallop-edge scissors, cut one edge of white card.
- Use a foam brush to apply metallic paint to the stamp. (Or you can use an ink pad.)
- Press stamp onto front of card. Let dry.
- Open the card and use the tape runner to adhere the brown paper to side with the scalloped edge.
- Now that your card is complete, you can write your holiday greeting inside!

Fly, Fly Away
Here’s another idea for making a card with scalloped-edge scissors and stamps.
Supplies & Tools:
- Basic supplies (see above)
- Circle punch
- Double-sided tape
- Ribbon
Directions:
- Cut white paper to desired size (cut 8" x 6" and then fold in half to make a 4" x 6" card).
- With scallop-edge scissors, cut one edge of white card.
- Cut a piece of green paper that is 4" x 6".
- Use the tape runner to adhere the green paper behind the scalloped card flap.
- Cut a piece of ribbon and attach to card using double-sided tape.
Note: To keep the ribbon from fraying, seal it with a flame before attaching to the card. - Cut 2 circles: 1 green, 1 white. We used a circle punch to cut the circles.
- Next, use scalloped-edge scissors to trim the white circle.
Note: It can be tricky getting the scallops to line up just right, so you could use a scalloped circle punch instead. - Now take metallic paint and a stamp to add a design to the center of the white circle.
- Use rubber cement to glue white and green circles together.
- Glue circles onto the card, and voila!
Elfy Hints:
- To cut a fishtail on the ribbon, fold the ribbon in half and then cut a diagonal line.
- This card will fit in an A4 envelope, and you can find A4 envelopes like these at envelopes.com.
