Make a shaped card with the Arch Medallion die

I have had fun making shaped cards using the Medallion dies 

from the Classic Wedding collection!

Even my hubby came up with some ideas lol looks like the crafting

is rubbing off on him!!! 

Here is a tutorial as promised how to make this card with the Arch Medallion die!

It's a lot easier than it looks, who would have thought a semi circle die

could make such a beautiful shaped card! 

Directions:

Step 1: Cut a 5 1/4" x 5" piece of card and put the card through the die

as in the picture above so the bottom cutting line is at the back of the card 

and wont cut through the card. Leave a section of the fold so it

doesn't cut in the die, this makes the fold for the card.

Step 2: Turn the card upside down and place the card through the die

to cut the bottom of the card.

You will have a card looking like this now.

Step 3: Cut a piece of card larger than the card base but 5 1/4" wide

and cut the top of the card with the die.

Step 4: Put the card you have have just cut through the die

and place the card base over it. Line it all up so the edges match and

shuffle the die so there is a snug fit to the card base on the 

single piece of card. 

Step 5: Remove the card base and die cut the single sheet of card.

Step 6: Die cut two of the decorative arch dies and adhere 

a piece of ribbon across to cover the gap.

Step 7: Adhere to the card base.

Now all you need to do is decorate!

For my card I used the Flowering Dogwood collection and the rings

from the Classic Wedding collection.

This could make a gorgeous christening, baptism or confirmation card too!

Just have fun using your dies, the possibilities are endless!
