Stacked with Love for Freshly Made Sketches


Whoa! This is quite the colour combination! It comes from the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack in the new Occasions Catalogue: Basic Black, Real Red, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral and Whisper White.  Let me just say, proceed with caution. I've only used 4 out of the 5 colours here and it still looks busy. This is after I'd simplified it a bit, but I think that is key here.  Don't try to use all the colours in the set. Pick and choose.

I chose this design after looking at the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge Sketch:

I wanted to showcase some of the Valentine's products and this sketch made me think of a medallion so I pulled out the Stacked with Love paper and got to work.


  • The medallion was made with 4 pieces of Stacked with Love DSP cut at 1 1/4" x 6 1/2". I scored them every half inch on the inch on one side, then flipped the paper and scored every 1/2" on the 1/4 inch. I made accordion folds using the score lines and glued every piece together and then the last and the first piece together to form a cylinder. 
  • I gathered the folds together and pressed down in the middle on a Jumbo Sticky Round to make the medallion. It needs a top to keep it in place so I punched out a Scallop Circle from Red Glimmer Paper using the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch. I added it to the top using Tombow Multipurpose glue to keep the medallion flat. 
  • The sentiment comes from the new stamp set, You Plus Me, and I stamped it in Real Red ink on Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with the 1 3/4" Circle punch. I also punched out the little heart from Red Glimmer Paper using the heart punch from Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and added over where the stamped heart would be.
