Newest Craze - Paper Medallions

These medallions seem to be the biggest craze in the crafting world.  They are also called lollies; however, according to Webster's, the definition doesn't fit this art decoration.

I made my medallion using a 1" x 12" piece of Designers Series Paper (DSP).  I scored on one side every 1/4" and 3/4" mark, flipped it over and score at every 1/2" and whole number mark.  By scoring on both sides, I found it easier to accordion fold back and forth.

I tried several adhesives and found these products worked the best:

• Sticky strip for connecting the two ends together (Sticky Strip does not hold down the folds of the medallion.  I've tried it, don't waste your time - my medallions popped apart,)
• I placed my paper inside a Starbuck's Frappuccino cap and pushed down the medallion *
• Hot glue (low temp) a backer circle, flip it over and put hot glue down through the center.  Hold in place until glue hardens.
• I attached my medallion to the tag using Liquid Multipurpose Glue

Stampin' Up! Products - my tag

• Chocolate Chip, Really Rust and Whisper White cardstock
• Designer Series Paper - Autumn vine
• Really Rust ink
• More Mustard 1/4" grosgrain ribbon (8 inches)
• Two Tags Sizzix Die
• Boho Blossoms and Trio Flower punches
• Liquid Multipurpose Glue
• Sticky Strip

Other Products

• Pearl, brown
• Hot Glue / low temp
• Stamp

* This is the best method to fan out your paper.  The inside of the cap allows the folds to be more uniformly spaced.  I found this video on YouTube video that helped me with my medallions (HERE).

These tags would be a perfect tag for a wine bottle.

ONE SHEET WONDER CLASS PLANNER TUTORIAL

I just finished the final layouts for my eight cards and one card enclosure care OSW (One Sheet Wonder).  Each card was made with a section of the OSW background created using various colors of ink and different stamp shapes. I randomly stamped the flowers on cardstock.

The OSW background sheet below was created using the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Whisper White cardstock 8 1/2" x 11"
• Love & Care stamp set
• Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango ink

To create the cards I used the following

• Chocolate Chip cardstock - 1 and one half sheets
• Crushed Curry cardstock - 3 sheets
• Dusty Durango - 3 sheets
• Whisper White - 1 sheet

I have created a 14-page class planner which includes

• Picture of each card
• Card details - include measurements of OSW and other cardstock
• OSW layout - layout and measurements for creating the cards
• Cardstock layout - layout and measurements to get the best number of cuts from the least amount of paper
• Supply list

You can have this class planner/tutorial for only $4.99.   Once you make your purchase, I will email you the Adobe PDF.  I have the complete planner in one file; however, if your email provider does not accept large files, I will email individual pages of the tutorial in seperate emails.

If you have any questions, please EMAIL before you make your purchase.
