This was my first attempt at a shutter card and creating a flower medalion from cardstock. The flower medalion was made by scoring a 1 1/2 inch by 12 inch strip of cardstock every 1/2 inch. Next, accordian fold the strip and glue the two sides together. Press the accordian circle flat by loosly gathering the folds on the top and pushing down. The base of the card is red Bazzill cardstock. It was layered with decorative paper from DeNami. Below is the open view. The ornaments were stamped and embossed with gold embossing powder. The holly leaves are from My Sentiments Exaclty and were stamped with green Versa Color ink; the red berries were colored with red Stickles. The tree is from My Sentiments Exactly and is stamped with green Versa Color ink. The words are from A Muse and are stamped in red Versa Color ink. A white button and green sheer ribbon were added to the flower medalion. The open view is below.
Happy birthday to my sister, Barbara. This is a tri-shutter card made with maroon and pink Bazzill cardstock and pattern paper from Karen Neuburger. The words were cut from the Basic Shapes Cricut machine.
