Pinecone from Scallop Circle Punch

 

I learned how to make this cute pinecone from the SU! scallop circle punch when I was at my upline's house in PA last week for four FABULOUS days of stampin', scrappin' and pamperin'.  Thanks Jan!  Thanks to demonstrator Kathy W. for teaching us all how to make these.

Naturally, I had to show my club members how to make them at our meeting yesterday, so I designed the card (the box is what we made at my upline's house, and it uses the Sizzix scallop circle).  Does the card look at all familiar?  Look at the cover of your SU! catalog to see where I got my inspiration.

You'll need three punched scallop circles for the pinecone.  Basically, you just cut the scallop into various sized cone-shaped pieces, the center of the scallop being where all the tips meet (like cutting a pie).  You'll need one with two scallops, two with three scallops, two with four scallops and three with five scallops.  Sponge the edges of each layer with white craft ink, assemble the pinecone as shown in the above pictures (layer the sections close together) and then put glitter on the edge of each layer.

Have fun!  I'd love to see pictures of your pinecone creations!  What can you come up with?
