Whitewash Wednesday

It’s time for Whitewash Wednesday! Here are some projects from the Design Team featuring Core’dination’s unique line of Whitewash Cardstock. Sand away the white to release the gorgeous Core color.

Debbie Standard used the pre-embossed whitewash from the Jenni Bowlin Core Impression:

Hera Frei used Fiskars embossing plates for this festive card:

It’s Fall Time!

Yes it is…my FAVORITE time of the year. I know it is for a lot of us and we are going to celebrate as much of fall as we can because before you know it, the snow will be here!

Here are some festive projects from our Design Team:

Kim Moreno featuring Chocolate Box:

Heather Bowser uses Vintage and Core Impressions on this wonderFALL layout:

And nothing says Fall like Woodgrain! Love the cool color combo on this card from Paula Gilarde featuring some more Chocolate Box:

Enjoy your week!

Technique Tuesday Featuring…

Paper Piecing!!! Core’dinations Cardstock is PERFECT for all your paper piecing needs.  You can find patterns all over the internet

How about this cute little birdie from Paula Gilarde?   Paula used her circle punches to make this cute little guy out of Core Impressions Cardstock. And the woodgrain Cuttlebug embossing folder is the perfect background. Just mount it to a Vintage cardstock base and then just add an SRM sticker and voila! You have a the perfect card.

Look at this amazing card from Linda Beeson.  She used Vintage Cardstock and embossed it with Cuttlebug embossing folders and gently sanded. The base is round and the front of the card is paper pieced.

Get ready for some inspiration!

Good Morning!

Today we wanted to share a few projects from our newest Design Team members. Their inspiration is just mind blowing!

Some Cards from Vicki Boutin….

Vicki uses a nice mix of Core’dination Cardstock on this card including Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions, Vintage and Core Essentials.

And check out these cuuuuute Halloween bags from Char using the Black Magic Line. LOVE!

To Sand or Not to Sand…

That is the question for this Tuesday’s Tip.

For this card Linda Beeson sanded the pre-embossed Stacy Julian Core Impressions cardstock lightly for a soft effect:

Hera Frei uses the same paper line from Stacy Julian coupled with some Cosom Cricket Core Impressions without sanding:

Well..How about both? Heather Bowser left her Core Essentionals background paper as is and then sanded her pumpkins:

How do you decide whether a projects needs that little extra touch of sanding? We would love to hear your thoughts!

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!

It’s all about Details!

It always amazes me the amount of details I see on cards. So today we are sharing some cards the Design Team created.

LOOK at these gorgeous flowers on this card from Debbie! Wowzers…gorgeous..and she added an SRM Sticker on here, too. Just the perfect finishing touch.

And the shape of this card by Linda is wonderful She lets the Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions stand on its own with a fun embellishment cluster, too. Check out the top, right hand corner. Love that special detail she did with her corner punch.
