Materials:
- Holly Berry House Originals stamp - Plainly Hearts - #1527M
- 1/2 ounce each of UF glitter
o #202 - pansy
o #85 - crystal
- two ounces of Designer Dries clear adhesive
- ultra-fine metal tip
- six pieces each of light orchid and purple uncoated cardstock - 8-1/2″ x 11″
- opaque white embossing powder
- clear embossing pad
- 12 1/8-inch thick, 1/2-inch round foam mounts
- double-sided clear tape
- scissors
- heat tool
Steps:
1. Remove the paper or plastic disk in the glue bottle. Twist on the black spout included in the package with the metal tip.
2. Pop off the tip cover. Do not cut.
3. Push down and twist the metal tip onto the black spout. Tug up to see if it is securely attached.
4. Use a cloth to wipe the tip often for precision application.
5. Stamp the image on each piece of card stock with embossing ink. Stamp the largest image on the orchid-colored card stock, the next largest image on the purple card stock, the next largest image on orchid-colored card stock, and the smallest image on purple card stock.
6. Sprinkle on white embossing powder, tap off the excess and melt the powder with a heat tool.
7. Cut out the largest image from orchid-colored card stock, leaving a 1/8-inch border of paper around the outer edge. Cut out the other images without leaving a border.
8. Apply glue and glitter within the boundaries of the lines, not on the lines.
9. Glitter the perimeter area of the three largest images, leaving the centers blank for mounting purposes. Glitter the smallest image completely if desired.
10. Assemble the pieces by adding mounting pads to the backs of all pieces except the largest one.
11. Attach the smallest image to the next largest (and so on to largest) by directly matching up the two images or by twisting the upper one a quarter turn before mounting.
12. Press down firmly.
13. Apply double-stick tape to back of largest medallion.
14. Cut several layers of background papers out of coordinating colors, alternating wider edges with narrower edges or straight edges with deckle or decorative edges, for example. Place the medallions centered on the background papers.
15. Frame the medallion as art, use as a card or add to a wrapped gift with sheer ribbon.
