You’re not crazy – this post reflects a date of yesterday! That’s how long I’ve been fiddling with this card!! I had it ready last night and wrote my first draft post but went back to the drawing board several times before I was interrupted by the need for sleep. Finally I get to share! This card was a ton of fun to bring to life. I fiddled around with die cuts the other night and came up with something I wanted to make into a card but my perfectionist tendencies were getting the best of me – I wanted a totally symmetrical medallion and it just wasn’t happening. At any rate, the results became the perfect venue to show one of the newly released JustRite sets called Tiny Words Borders & Centers Set 1 3/16".
I work with a lot of sentiments and sometimes I just cannot find where to position them without them taking up valuable real estate on the card – especially when I don’t want to cover up the design paper. That where the JustRite Tiny Border Set fit my needs perfectly – they are tiny sayings that say a lot. The sentiment is stamped with the 1 3/16" mount and punched out with a 1" punch. The border is stamped and cut out with the smallest Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circle Small. That pairing perches on top of a circle made with a 1 3/4" punch.
For this fun, fun medallion, I betcha can’t figure out what I used! Seriously when you find out, it will show you that the dies you least suspect will stand up and do double duty. I’ll give you a little hint – I call this a Spellbinders Swirling Heart Medallion. You got it, it’s made with the Spellbinders Classic Heart. I used six double cut hearts that result in frames that I pivoted around a central point.. That’s it. All the swirls really add to the texture of the card and I curled them up a little bit to make them a little bit more dramatic. You can easily reproduce this medallion and when time allows I’ll try to pull together a tutorial.

This is gorgeous Becca,so soft and feminine. That was very clever to arrange the hearts like that, I would have never guessed. I have a question please, do you trim your Just Rite stamps so you can get a cleaner image?
