Circles with Stampin' Up! Daydream Medallions

Circles with Stampin' Up! Daydream Medallions

When I saw this Around the World Stampin' Up! Challenge to use circles I knew I had just the card to enter. I made this one as part of my effort to use all my stamp sets using one of the stamps from Daydream Medallions. The colours I used are Soft Sky, Wisteria Wonder, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla.

I stamped the image to create a background paper and then layered up ribbons and a bow using Burlap, Soft Sky Seam Binding and Linen Thread. The sentiment is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set cut out using the Banners Framelits dies - don't forget you can save 15% if you buy them together as a bundle!  I attached the greeting with a pin from the Vintage Trinkets (retiring)

I love the way the colours all work together so well - as you would expect with Stampin' Up!

Embossed Monochrome Card with Stampin' Up! Daydream Medallions

Embossed Monochrome Card with Stampin' Up! Daydream Medallions

Some of you will know I sing in Colchester Military Wives Choir - Gareth Malone had no idea what he would start when he made the original TV programme over 2 years ago.  Anyway I made today's card for our Musical Director's birthday - she is a super stylish lady so I needed a super-stylish card!

Continuing my quest to use all my Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets before the NEW Annual Catalogue comes out on 1 July 2014, I have moved on to Daydream Medallions as it is a nice large image.  I was playing with heat embossing and realised that as I have the Clear Mount version of this stamp I could layer the images I wanted to use on the Large Clear Block and so stamp and emboss in one go rather than having to line each layer up with the Stamp-a-ma-jig - easy peesy!

The image was stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Basic Black card. The sentiment is from a retired set called Curly Cute - I very rarely use retired stamps but the swirls on this one were perfect for what I wanted. A piece of Whisper White Organza Ribbon and Large Rhinestones Basic Jewels finish the card.
