Medallions (Card Candy)

Here is a wonderful addition to your cards. Medallions. I have fallen in love with these little goodies and want to share them with you. Hopefully this will work. It's my first time to post on the blog, so please bear with me while I learn!!

I primarily used the Square Steps Corner Pocket Punch for these cards. Just to let you know, this punch is retiring from the Stampin' Up catalog and will no longer be available after June 30th. If you would like to order one, just email me!! It's $10.95 plus shipping (10%) and is on page 221 of the 2006-2007 catalog. You can view this catalog on line here:
