Eastern Medallions and Eastern Beauty

Today I’m sharing a card showcasing other thinlits from the Eastern Medallions thinlits dies; these are three nesting thinlits that can be used interchangeably with the one I used yesterday and another two smaller ones. Which means that there’s quite a variety of possible designs. I’ll do a post soon showing the various dies and some of the combinations. It’s quite amazing how much you can do with these.

I’m also showing a brand new product that is available in the Eastern Bundle kit and will be in the new catalog – the very vanilla notecards and envelopes. I cut out my beautiful medallion in tranquil tide but it’s actually designed to be a cutout in a large piece. So I snipped the edges that were still connected to the rest of the card into points. Once I had my medallion freed, I put it in place on my card and stamped the greeting from Eastern Beauty in more tranquil tide. With that stamped perfectly, I then used the silicone craft mat and a sponge dauber to add a little of the multipurpose glue to the back of the medallion and put it in place. And there you have it – a card that’s simple to create but is very effective.

One tip – be careful to line the points of the star up with the other pieces. The first time I tried this, I was just concerned about getting the three nesting pieces to be nested properly and it just didn’t look right with the inside pieces pointing in random directions.
