Today we have some cards for you!
Design Team Member Melissa Oliveira created this FUN window card. Is it ever possible to have too much woodgrain? I didn’t think so. She used the Sizzix Tim Holtz woodgrain folder for the embossing and then the woodgrain Sweet Stamp Shop stamped on the inside of the card.
And close up of the flowers. Melissa used a Spellbinder’s Label die to create the window.
And the inside:
And Design Team Member Debbie Standard created this cute card! She used the back of her cardstock for the bus and all that fun embossing and sanding is just perfect! Don’t forget to run that “grass” through your Fiskars Paper crimper for that perfect look…add a Petaloo flower and you have a perfect Back To School card!
this week has been “TWEET”
Great end to the week, now I am even more convinced that I need a paper crimper!
Both projects are great! I enjoy seeing the different ideas from your design team. Thanks for sharing this week.
I love Melissa’s woodgrain card w/ a window – so cute and wonderfully finished.
Cute card from Debbie too – perfect for those brave bus drivers.
S-Tweet projects!!! Had a fun week! Thanks!
What a great combination this has been! Love today’s cards, especially that adorable bird – how clever to use the flower as his nest!
Love the bus card, it is so cute.
What adorable cards!! Thanks for the great “Back to School” week. We have enjoyed every minute of working with you…
Fabulous cards!!
Such a tweet card!
Cute cards. Being back at school this week to get things ready has definitely not been as much fun as coming to see the great projects here on the blogs back to school week.
I can’t believe it is the final day of this fabulous
blog hop! Both of these cards are delightful, but I
love the woodgrain texture of the bird card…
Thanks so much for sharing!

Amazing cards today! I love the embossed Core and that folded over flower for the nest is pure genius!
Awesome cards- I adore the woodgrain embossing on the outside with the stamp on the inside- fabulous!
Love the stamps and how great each piece turned out! Especially love that woodgrain stamp. Thanks for sharing these
How cute with that little bird sitting on his flower nest on the window sill. The Core looks fantastic on ths.
The bird with the woodgrain–great combo. I JUST LOVE the look.
I forgot to say that the first day of school at my house was always hectic. Very. But then I’d get to enjoy peace and quiet for several hours, so it was worth it:)
Love that wood grain on the first card….School days memories are so precious. I remember the first day we sent my son off….sniff sniff! He was SO VERY excited and I was scared to death. Sigh. At least I can smile about it now.
I like the embossed and sanded cardstock on both the clever way to use the flower on the first card.
I love the tweet card, beautiful textures and layers. Thank you for sharing and a chance to win.
Great cards as always
“You’re the best” and tweetest!!! What a fun week it’s been and it’s showed Core off at its best. Thanks for all the great inspiration and the chance to win. Fabulous job by the DT all week. Sad to see it end. it’s been a fun way to get ready for school.
That sanded wood grain is so beautiful! Love it!
Cute! The wood grain looks really nice on this project.

Love the cards-I am going to have to get that wood grain folder!
What a great card – love all the wood grain!
Love the frame over the wood grain. Great cards!
Thanks for your publish. My partner and i have usually observed that a majority of people are desperate to lose weight when they wish to look slim in addition to looking attractive. On the other hand, they do not usually realize that there are other benefits so that you can losing weight as well. Doctors claim that obese people come across a variety of disorders that can be perfectely attributed to their particular excess weight. The great news is that people who sadly are overweight as well as suffering from numerous diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses simply by losing weight. You are able to see a steady but identifiable improvement with health as soon as even a negligible amount of losing weight is realized.
Cute cards! Love that woodgrain on the Core!
