Seeing Double

Make two cards by splitting the image in two. You definitely need one large image to make this work, but it is a wonderful way to make use of those large stamps sitting on your shelf. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Medallion

   Good Feelings

Paper:

   Concord Crush A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 8 - Stamp in the center then cut in two, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Concord Crush

Technique:

   Split Image

Accessories:

   Stamp-a-ma-jig/Stamparatus/MISTI

   Concord Crush 1/2" Stitched Polyester Ribbon 8"

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the large medallion in the center of the 5-1/4 x 8 Basic White panel.

I then cut the 8" in half. So, I now had two panels, measuring 5-1/4 x 4, each with half a medallion. This works with any large image that can be split in two.

Next, I stamped a sentiment on the lower part of the panel as shown above.

I then knotted an 8" strip of Concord Crush ribbon in the center and wrapped it around to the back of the panel. Note: I added a couple of glue dots under the ribbon to keep it flat and in place on the card.

I then adhered each of the panels to a Concord Crush card front.

Lastly, I added a few Basic Pearls and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of each card.

Medallion Butterflies

 This card is more for the avid stamper. There are several layers and techniques. Of course, anyone can simplify it to a couple of stamps and paper only. Personally, I like the extras on this card. Are you a simple, casual, or avid stamper?

Stamps:

   Medallion

   Just Believe

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 4 x 3-3/4 (Cut @ 1" on both sides after stamping), 3/4 x 4

   Cherry Cobbler 5-1/4 x 4, Scraps

   Crumb Cake 1-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Cherry Cobbler

   Crumb Cake

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Punching

Accessories:

   Eyelet Border Punch

   Itty Bitty Shapes

   Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder

   Beautiful Wings Embossilits

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

I began with my Very Vanilla panel and stamped the background Medallion using Crumb Cake.

I then stamped the silhouettes using Cherry Cobbler. These are from the Just Believe Stamp Set.

Then I cut 1" from the left side and 1" from the right side. The center piece measures 2". These were then adhered to the Cherry Cobbler panel, leaving a tiny space between the panels. 

I stamped my sentiment on the Very Vanilla strip and then dry embossed it using the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

I took the Crumb Cake strip and punched it with my Eyelet Border Punch. It cuts a small strip off the bottom. This is glued to the bottom of the Very Vanilla strip to make it seem as if the Crumb Cake panel is larger than it really is. So, the Very Vanilla strip is adhered to the Crumb Cake Eyelet Border and the thin strip of Crumb Cake. This is then adhered to the bottom of the Cherry Cobbler panel. 

I then ran the Beautiful Wings Embossilits through the die cut & embossing machine. I added these using glue dots.

I punched out three tiny flowers using the Itty Bitty Shapes punch and adhered them to the Very Vanilla strip.

Lastly, I adhered the Cherry Cobbler panel to my Very Vanilla card base and added rhinestones here and there. You may choose to add pearls instead.
