Try It Thursday - Stampin' Up! Simple Stems Scalloped Tag Punch Closure Card and Tutorial

Good Morning Everyone! One of the best new products in the Celebrate The Everyday Spring Catalog 2014 is the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I am finding many more ways to utilized it other than making tags. My Try It Thursday share is a Thank You Card created with this punch and the Stampin' Up! Simple Stems stamp set. I used the Stampin' Up! Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack for my background and embellished with ribbon and a pearl. The Scalloped Tag Closure gives my card a simple but elegant look without taking away from my stamped image.
