Today we have a special treat from Fiskars!!! AGAIN! Yes, they have been super generous and donated a PAPER CRIMPER for our 10th Day of Techniques Today. Yes, you guessed it, today’s technique is CORRUGATUNG. We are blowing the dust off these great tools and working some Holiday Magic with them. Make sure you check out the video here to get some great tips on using your paper crimper. Again, if you get a chance to give Fiskars a shout out on their Facebook Page for the generosity we would appreciate it! It might just get you another shot in to win today’s prize!!!!

Today’s inspiration comes from Design Team Member Sarah Hodgkinson. Sarah used her Whitewash Cardstock, ran it through her Crimper, and cut it so it looks like a landscaped background for her card. Beautiful and easy!!! Thanks Fiskars! We cannot wait to see what you do with your paper crimper.

So who wants a winner from yesterday? Don’t forget that EVERY DAY we are giving away a Core’dinations paper pack, Sand It Gadget AND a Dust Buddy, too!!!!
Yesterday’s Winner is………………………………….

It makes such a difference to actually watch the techniques in action – I have really enjoyed learning all the different ways to use this amazing paper, and am getting anxious to go get some, even though I have to drive 125 miles to get it ! Love the prizes too, and hoping I can win before it’s all over !

Wow! The look the crimper gave the paper is amazing, it really looks like snowy fields.
Ooooh I love the idea of corrugating with a crimper! I may actually FINALLY break down and buy a crimper. I’ve been wanting one for a while now… just haven’t actually bought one. Thanks for the idea!!!
And this is where I go to my friends and say Hey! I need my crimper back! Why is it after I feel I never use my tool that I give it back to her and then someone comes up with a cool idea for it?!
Just discovered your blog and wow, so much inspiration !
How neat…..I need to get me one of these crimpers. Santa, are you listening?
How cool is that? Another great technique, I’ve done a layout every day with a new technique since we started the 12 days, thanks off to do another LO!!
Love this idea… It gaves a cool look to the paper.
Thanks for the giveaway
I’m really enjoying the techniques covered so far. The crimper is on my to-play list; great to make leaves too or envelope card in addition to snowy background. Thanks for another great idea!
Woooooo, I don’t have a crimping tool and now I think I really need one. I love this technique, it’s something new. Beautiful.
Now that is a creative idea for a crimper!
How pretty. Going to have to try that idea.
Gorgeous. I have a crimper and do not use it near enough. Thanks for sharing and I know I will be using it more now.
All I can say is WOW!!! This is such a neat idea and so simple. Thanks for sharing.
dont have the crimper but looks to make some beautifull stuff hope to win too
I think I will have to dust off my crimper and use it with some Coordinations paper. LOVE it!
That card is GORGEOUS!!! I love this technique and a crimper is one tool I do not own – must get one to try this now!!
Such a cool tool.

Such a fresh and wintery card – love it! Having a blast with your 12 days of cheer! Thanks for all the fantastic ideas and insperation! Thank you to Fiskars too – adore their prodcuts!!!!
I got that neat Fiskars tool………..just haven’t used it yet! Might be time to give it a try!
Such a great use for the tool. Sarah always had great ideas. I took a class from her at the Creative Festival in Toronto in October 2010 and I just wanted to say it was great if you could pass along the message.
I won! This is the way to start off the day! Beautiful card and love how she used the crimper. Thanks for a chance.
That looks amazing!! Definitely something I’d love to try.
