Holly Berry House Columbine Egg Medallion Samples

























Holly Berry House makes beautiful medallion rubber stamps that you can layer & glitter to make beautiful cards or framed projects! They come in various designs. The samples that I've shown here are the egg medallions. You ONLY need one stamp to make the samples shown.

All you need to do is to stamp the image several times (embossing looks the best). The eggs were embossed in white. The number of times to stamp your image depends on how many layers you want to make. If you look at the sample above with 3 eggs, the egg on the left has fewer layers than the one on the right.

1. Stamp & emboss your bottom layer, which is the entire egg. Add Art Institute Glitter's Designer Dries Clear Adhesive to the parts that you want to have glitter (remember, you won't need to glitter the center part since you will be layering on top of it) and add glitter. Set aside to dry.

2. Stamp & emboss your next layer. At this point, you will decide how much of the egg to cut out. It's really up to you. Just pick one of the outlined shapes and cut. Add adhesive & glitter to this section and set aside to dry.

3. Continue to stamp & layer until you have the number of layers desired. Once the adhesive is dried, use foam tape (thickness of the foam tape is up to you) to put the layers together. You will have a beautiful 3-D egg as a result!

At this point, you decide whether to layer it on various colors of cardstock (as in the sample above, on the left) and give it away as a card, or frame it! You might also find that it makes a great topper for a decorated box or other home decor item. Use your creativity to find other uses for this beautiful project!

I have 3 different egg medallion designs in stock at this time. To find them,
