Some more Imaginisce…

Can you believe we still have goodies to share from our Imaginisce blog swap? We can’t! We loved working their papers so much, we have more to share…

Hera Frei did some random embossing on this great layout and she printed across the top of the page right on the cardstock:

Love how Lydia Jackson mixed Vintage cardstock and Gemstone cardstocks on this super cute layout:

And here is a fun little frame from Ellen Sosnoski showing us how you can take your Imaginisce and Core off the page:

Terrific Tuesday!

Good Morning! Today we want to share some fun creations from the Design Team. It is all about celebrating color for the summer!

First up is Kimber McGray. Don’t you just love the bright pinks and yellows from the Imaginisce goodies against the brown?

And check out the color on this card from Kim Moreno! The reds, greens and oranges are gorgeous and the green Jenni Bowlin Core Impression Cardstock just pops:

And Core’dinations Whitewash just sets of color beautifully as Debbie Standard showcases in her card here full of fun summer images:

Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions Cardstock

Have a great week everyone! Stay tuned for some festive Canada Day and 4th of July projects.

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and a fun Father’s day. Celebrating the men in our lives is such a treat!

I wanted to share a quick last minute Father’s day gift that I made utilizing some Core’dinations and October Afternoon that would be perfect for any Holiday for your man, friends or family. My husband travels Monday through Friday during the week and we miss him while he is gone so the point of this gift was to have something for him to carry with him in his laptop bag as a reminder of how much we love him and are proud of him.

Here is the badge. Every Dad needs to have one of these, don’t you think? I used two different kinds of Gray Core’dinatins cardstock on here. For the badge I used Weathered Tin and the core is a lighter shade of gray. Then for the Card/Mini book, I used Stormy Gray which has a white Core.

And the back. Just adhere a safety pin to the back he can display it proudly:

And the front of the Card/Mini book:

And the inside {super simple}:

And here is Henry modeling it for you. Please don’t mind his Cheeto infused shirt:

Father’s Day Inspiration

With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, we thought we would share some of our inspiration for our fathers today. Make sure you check out the Scrapbooking and Cards Today blog for some step-by-step instructions on how to make this Father’s Day gift from our very own Sarah Hodgkinson:

{Also featuring Jillibean Soup Products}

We can’t wait to see what you create in celebration of all the fathers in your life!

Cards, Cards, Cards

Today we are celebrating cards! The Design Team has been loading some really fabulous cards from Graduation themes to Just Because cards. Enjoy!

Kimber McGray featuring some Jillibean Soup products:

Remember, you don’t always need to emboss and sand Core’dinations and this card from Heather Bowswer is a great example of that:

And one more card from Debbie Standard. Debbie uses her Jenni Bowlin Core Impression Cardstock here in place of patterned paper as her background. Gorgeous!

Boy did we have fun last week! Thank you, thank you for all of your wonderful comments.  Reading them was a lot of fun and we enjoy your feedback. We will post a winner tomorrow of the wonderful give-a-way so stay tuned for that.

I will leave you with to more projects we spotted in the gallery with some Imaginisce and Core’dinations. These are just bright and summery, just like the weather here today!

Here Frei used a fun mix of Vintage Cardstock and Jenni Bowlin Core Impresions on this layout {and take note how she printed direction on her Core’dinations cardstock}:

And this card by Debbie Standard is just loaded with amazing details! From the layered Spellbinders die-cuts, to the stamping and sanding, you can’t take your eye off of this one!

Free For All Friday!

So we are on our last day of the Imaginisce and Core’dinations blog swap. Did you have fun??? Make sure you tell us how much fun you did to get entered in the give-a-way!

A Card from Linda Beeson:

And check out how Melissa Oliveira sanded just were she was journaling {clever}!

Don’t forget the Imaginisce stamps! Heather Bowser uses them on this fun card with an embossed background:

We are Rockin’ in the Weekend…

Make sure you stop by the Imaginisce blog…they have some awesome ideas and are really working the Core’dinations! And our blog post here for the give-a-way!

Seriously, we are not quite sure that this Live Loud collection could be more fun!

We have another layout from Kim Moreno…how cool are those layered guitars? And the sanded circles from the Cosmo Cricket Core Impression line is a perfect contrast to the lines and shapes of the Live Loud line from Imaginisce.

And Ellen Sosnoski embossed, sanded, tore and printed on her Core Essential cardstock on this layout:

AND the Live Loud line is not just for boys…check out this fun layout from Hera Frei…how clever is that title? Plus, that vertical photo is just awesome. Oh and did you look close? Hera did some faux stitching along the corners of her Core Essentials Cardstock, too.

This post wouldn’t be complete without a cool card from the Live Loud collection. Notice the green showing through on the edges of this card? Sarah Hodgkinson used the Black Magic Cardstock on this cardstock.

Okay…we lied about being done….one more card from Kimber McGray using some Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions and Black Magic cardstock:

It’s Time for some Flower Power

Who doesn’t love flowers? Today we are featuring some layouts with the Lucy Bird line . Our Design Team just loved all the flowers from the Lucy Bird Collection from Imaginisce…it just goes perfectly with Core’dinations.

Don’t forget to check out the Imaginisce Blog for some FAB inspiration!!! And comment here to win over 200 pieces of Core!

Kim Moreno paired the Jenni Bowlin Core Impression Butterfly cardstock with some Lucy Bird on this layout:

And sanding doesn’t have to be intense…check out this subtle sanding by Melissa Oliveira on the edge of the layout. And she randomly embossed the scallops around the circle, too!

Heather Bowser mixed and matched Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions with some Core Essentionals cardstock on this sweet layout:

And one more from Debbie Standard. She used her Spellbinder’s dies on this layout and topped them with all sorts of Lucy Bird flowers and Gemstone Cardstock as her base:
