I made five, four inch card bases by cutting one from each color–Powder Pink, Fresh Fig, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide.
Using the Eastern Medallions #3 and #2 together, I cut out medallions from each of the five colors and then used the #8 Scalloped Circle from the Layering Circles to fully cut them from the colors. I cut mattes from Whisper White and used liquid adhesive to adhere each medallion to a matte.
On Thick Whisper White, I stamped the sentiment in each of the five colors and then die cut them using the #1 stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. These were adhered to the centres of the medallions using Dimensionals. These mattes were then adhered to the card bases using Fast Fuse.
Whisper White mattes were cut for the inside of the cards and they were sponged with each of the five colors and then adhered inside the cards.
In assembling the cards, the colors were contrasted on the cards so that the sentiments matched the card bases and the inside sponging matched the medallions. These colors worked so nicely together!
To contain the cards, I used the 1/16" rule of box making via Catherine Pooler. The box bottom was made from Dapper Denim card stock and the top from a sheet of the exquisite Eastern Palace Specialty DSP! I used a circle punch to punch half circles in each side to make it easier to open.
I used a strip of the beautiful foiled paper with a strip of Dapper Denim on top to create a belly band for the box. Since the strips were not long enough, I adhered them to Thick Very Vanilla die cut with the #8 circle from the Layering Circles and then adhered a larger circle of card stock on top of it, cut with the #7 circle from the now retired Circles Collection Framelits.
A medallion was cut from Dapper Denim using the #2, #3, and #4 dies. Layering Circle #1 was used to die cut a piece of Gold Foil which was adhered behind the medallion. The completed medallion was adhered on top of the large Very Vanilla Circle to complete the box.
I think that the box and the cards looked very impressive and I may make a set for myself in the future!
