Stampin’ Up!’s Daydream Medallions is a set that I have had in my collection for a little while now, and I should have been using it more often!! LOL. This card uses the stamp set and the coordinating Floral Frames Framelits Dies for the Big Shot, so creating this medallion effect is EASY (especially with the Magnetic Platform)!!! Stamp, die cut, layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Vintage Faceted Designer Button to the centre of the top medallion as well. Obviously, this is a special card that’s appropriate for hand delivered options. If you wanted to mail it, you would want to put it into a padded envelope, or use SNAIL vs the Dimensionals to make it flatter. This could be a great Mother’s Day card!
OK I’m off to ensure that my house looks entirely unlived in (aka ready for showing as it’s up for sale!! LOL). Living like this has put a bit of a crimp in my crafting time – as I am a bit of a messy crafter so I’m fearful of getting going on something and then having to clean it up quickly! However, I am actually learning to craft a bit more neatly, and perfecting the “clean as you go” crafting way….

Shocking, I know! My friend recently became a British citizen, after living there for over 15 years. She’s married to a Brit, and has British children and even has a weird hybrid Canadian-British accent. (Kind of like Madonna’s pseudo-English accent while she was living there…). Anyway. I thought I’d create a custom card just for this transplant to commemorate this occasion, and used my cardstock to come up with this design..
I created the Union Jack using Night of Navy, Real Red and Whisper White cardstocks, and die cut the maple leaf with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die. Not a stamp in sight. I did ink around the edges of the maple leaf to make it stand out a bit more. I love that I can create such a custom card for my friend – doubt I could find one so appropriate in a card store…
If you’d like to find out more about making cards, (shameless plug follows) I do have monthly card making classes if you’re in the Burlington ON area. If you aren’t, then consider one of my online classes or my upcoming Inbox Inspiration program. The Inbox Inspiration program will be launching at the end of this week, so come back for more information then!

When we made this card in Stampers Club, some people were looking for the Designer Series Paper to complete this project….but it’s all done with stamps! We stamped the various ornaments from the Stampin’ Up! set Ornament Keepsakes in Smoky Slate (have I mentioned how much I LOOOOOVE this new addition to the SU colour family?), Night of Navy and Always Artichoke. Added the “merry” cut from Brushed Silver Cardstock and tada! I adhered a strip of the Brushed Silver Cardstock to a Big Shot Multi-Purpose Adhesive sheet so after we die cut the word, it adhered easily and neatly to the cardfront.
