Farewell Medallion!

Since there are so many of my favorites on the retiring list I thought I'd take some posts from now until they retire to look back over past cards share with you the stuff I've made with them!

One of the first stamps I am sad to see go is the Medallion Background stamp! This stamp is great for cards and other projects too! Check out the projects below and click on the images if you want to read the original posts!

Medallion Coasters...

Hope everyone is getting ready for a great Thanksgiving day with family. I know I'm really looking forward to visiting with mine! We're supposed to get a snow/rain storm so make sure you travel safely if you live in the Midwest!

Today I'm sharing another project for my holiday class. My attendees will have the option of making some really cool tile coasters. To make mine I used the Medallion stamp set. This is so quick and easy and looks so professional when it's done! You could also use a different stamp set and color in the image with chalks... I've done that before and it also turns out beautiful. These are such a great gift idea! Make sure if you make these that you add little felt or cork feet so your recipient doesn't scratch their table!!

Medallion for the holidays...

When I first say this giant Medallion stamp, I immediately thought it would make great holiday cards .... (or wedding cards, or thank you cards, or just about anything). It's so elegant looking and it makes a beautiful card fast. For this card I used one of my new favorite color combos, real red and soft suede to create this gorgeous card. I stamped the medallion image on white, going off the edge of the paper so I would have room for a sentiment on the bottom. Then I used the Season's Greetings sentiment from the stamp set Many Merry Messages and stamped that in suede along the bottom. Then add a bit of white taffeta ribbon and a rhinestone brad and---tah dah!--- a simple and beautiful card!

stamps: Medallion, Many Merry Messages
ink:real red, soft suede
paper:real red, soft suede, whisper white

Soft Suede...

I recently went to an event where we did a couple of monochromatic cards using Soft Suede...They are just gorgeous. I liked this color before but now I'm really loving it! The first card uses Soft Suede cardstock stamped with the Medallion Background Stamp. Isn't that a Gorgeous stamp? I love how it looks. Then it's simply made complete by stamping a sentiment from the Define your Life stamp set. Then add some ribbon along the bottom with a jumbo grommet to add some elegance. The ribbon is actually the polka-dotted Soft Suede ribbon but it is turned around so you don't see the polka-dot side!

The next card is also almost all Soft Suede. Again, start with Soft Suede Cardstock and this time I punched circles of varying sizes out of a peice Thoroughly Modern Designer Paper. Adhere the circles in a random pattern onto the card base. Then I used the medallion stamp from the True Friend stamp set to creat the image. I sponged the edges with some Suede ink and added some of the polka-dot Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon. The Birthday wishes sentiment is from the Sincere Salutations stamp set.
