Punched Medallions

Happy Sunday all,

Today I have a few projects to show you all and a tutorial so lets get started!.

First up I need a birthday card for my Aunt, and I wanted to use this lovely paper from Ginger Blossoms. So I decided to go with a panel card. I like how it turned out with the little pearls from the Pretty’s kit and the Wonderful Favorites words. So now to the tutorial.

I will be punching out one of these shapes from the retired Western paper.
I used my scallop punch to punch it out.
Then I added a little adhesive to the back of the punched shape. then I patted the adhesive side on my pants to get rid of most of the stickiness. Then it is not permanent.
I added it to a piece of typing paper, since it is very thin.
I rotated my punch and punched the image out again with the scallop punch.
This makes a different shape with spikes instead of scallops!
Then I punched out a star from some more of the Western paper.

Once again I adhered it to some typing paper and rotated my star punch to make a new shape.
And her it is. It is now an 10 point star instead of an 5 point.
I punched a scallop circle out of really rust paper and used my dauber to add Really Rust ink around the edges.
And here is the medallion I made using the pieces I punched twice, and a small star and scallop circle.
And here is the medallion on the finished Father’s day card.

Here is a card I made for a birthday party we attended yesterday. I used this old Stamp set to make inchies.
And lastly I found these clear rubber containers and decided to make them into recipe boxes. I used rub ons and paper to decorate them.
I used the From the Kitchen set to make tabs and recipe cards.

Have a fun Sunday! And a great holiday.
