Easter Photos

I don’t know about you but I don’t get a chance to scrap Easter (or Holiday photos) until after the Holidays.  It seems as if then all they  hype is over and I we have moved on to the next Holiday for inspiration. Well not here!  Today we have some inspo for you to get out those Easter shots from a few weeks ago and scrap them. Don’t wait until next year….if you are like me you will behind schedule

Design Team Member Lydia Jackson created this layout with a beautiful mix  of Core. She used Pink Paislee Core Impressions (honeycomb and dots) and then she used her Spellbinders die to make the impression on the neutral cardstock found in our NEW Neutrals Collection packs.

And here is a detail of that impression with Spellbinder’s die. LOVE it!!

Spring Has Sprung!

How much do you love gardening?

I know I do and getting seed packets with the boys every spring is so much fun.

Stamping on Pearls Cardstock

Tuesday’s Tip is all about stamping on Pearls Cardstock.

We looove stamping here at Core and our Pearls Cardstock is beautiful…it just has a hit of shimmery/pearlness to it and it is so smooth and just lovely for cardmaking. AND it comes in 8.5×11 so it is perfect for cardmaking!

P.s….did you know that we have an entire Cardmaker Series?

Core Cards….8.5×11…the possibilities are endless!!!!!

Design Team Debbie Standard created this cute cute cute card where she stamped the sentiment right on the Pearls Cardstock.

So today’s Tuesday Tip all about INK. Deciding what kind of ink to use can make all the difference in the world. I would recommend using Stazon or another ink that is not water based because of how smooth this cardstock is. It won’t smear and needs little to no time at all to dry.

And I did some stamping on Pearls on this layout, too. AND if you want to see how to do this cross hatching in the corner, check out the video “We Will Rock You”  HERE!

And her is  a close up of that stamping on the Pearls Cardstock:
