Here's a card I made using the Medallion Background Stamp for my Christmas Wreath. This is such a universal stamp, I love it. The color combo is Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler and Natural Ivory.
First, I stamped the medallion in Always Artichoke Classics Ink. The inside of the wreath is a stamp from the "Merry & Type" stamp set, stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched out using the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch. I used the Circle Punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Pack to make the berries in Cherry Cobbler. I sprayed my card pieces with the homemade shimmer mist (with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint) and let dry before I attached them. The berries I covered with Dazzling Details from the holiday mini catalog, so they would stand out. Lastly I used an Antique Brad to attach the bow to the wreathÂ…I mean card. :o)

Beautiful! I hadn't thought to use the medallion stamp for a wreath.. it's fabulous! Also, I love how you give a very detailed description of your card, and also what page in the catalog to find the products on. That's awesome! Thank you so much for sharing, and your generosity!
Love it! I was looking for ideas to inspire me to use the Medallion stamp for my Christmas Stamp a Stack as I knew it would be beautiful for Christmas Cards...I really like this one!

This is beautiful! I love the color combination and the creativity that you used to turn this stamp into a wreath. I love this stamp and making Christmas cards so you've taking 2 of my favorite things and put them together.
Also, thank you for explaining the steps you used to make the card.
