Fiskars' new scalloped punches make mass producing holiday cards a snap! Here I have created two cards showing different creative ways to incorporate these designs into your holiday cards. These are purposely designed for mass production. The first card, Santa, looks like a labor-intensive paper piecing, but it's actually just a compilation of punches! Photo cards are very popular and with a little creative cropping, you can turn a scalloped punch into themed photo corners! And the punch doubles as a quick, cute gift embellishment.
