Sweet Stamp Shop Day TWO with a Tuesday Tip ;)

Gooooood Morning!

Before we get started with Day TWO of our stamping fun with Sweet Stamp Shop we want to share with you giveaway going on over at Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine that Core’dinations Cardstock is sponsoring. They are celebrating 10, 000 fans over at their Facebook page so head over there and make sure you “like” them for a chance to WIN!  Make sure you tell them we sent you

We are here this week with some fun projects from Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps. You know the drill…comment here on the blog ALL WEEK long AND over on our FACEBOOK PAGE for the chance to win some Core goodies!!! Make sure you check out their store for  some CUTE stamps and their blog for a chance to win, too!

AND they have this cute blinkie just for you!

Today we have some cards from Design Team Members Lydia Jackson and Debbie Standard!

We cannot get enough of this little cutie! Lydia used some May Arts ribbon and a Lifestyle Crafts die to make that awesome border. The Cosmo Cricket Woodgrain cardstock looks great with the raccoon, too!

Debbie Standard this awesome card using some Gemstones (embossed beautifully for the background) and then Debbie stamped her footballs and then embossed them, too! That is our Tuesday Tip for you….you can still stamp AND emboss with your Core!

The key is to stamp FIRST, cut it out and THEN emboss the image. It makes this football much more realistic, don’t you think?

And, I have to say, that girls DO RULE!

I also wanted to post about our Colour Lover’s Monthly Inspiration. For the past few months we have issued a challenge around our Pinterest board called Colour Lover’s.

She Shoots….

SHE SCORS!

Well…not the scoring you might see at a football game…but the FUN kind of SCORING! We highlighted scoring yesterday on the blog and I just happen to come across a few more amazing examples of how to SCOR with CORE

We love love to scor here at Core. If you haven’t scor’d before than PLEASE check out our Technique Videos here. LOADS of inspiration and REMEMBER to scor from the BACK of your Core so when you sand the front with your Sand It Gadget, that gorgeous core shines through.

First up we have a layout from Design Team Member Lydia Jackson. Lydia created her own design here just by scoring! You can create a patchwork design like this and the outline around the layout to frame it, too. SO easy yet SO much impact.

Lydia used Tim Holtz Kraft Core as her base and some Core Essentials and added some great details from Jillibean Soup.

And design Team Member Melissa Oliveira used this month’s Colour Lover’s Inspiration palette for this layout. See how Melissa used scoring to frame the layers of the layout? Gorgeous gorgeous! I cannot  tell you how easy this technique is and how much impact it can have on your layouts with Core’dinatons Colorcore Cardstock!

Here is a little about scoring from Melissa, “Scoring is my favorite way to add some extra visual interest without added bulk or additional layers.”  I AGREE, do you?

And Melissa used her Petaloo flowers that match Core PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!

And a Spellbinder’s Die for the shape…

Colour Lover’s Challenge Palette

We have some more  inspiration for you for the March’s Colour Lover’s Challenge! It’s got a little bit of green for St Patty’s Day and some other gorgeous accent colors that scream SPRING!  Make sure you follow us on Pinterest to see more of these amazing colour palettes.

Today we have a layout from Design Team Member Lydia Jackson using oooooodles of embossing on her Core Essentials!

So many amazing things about this layout…the photo! And the little Queen & Co accents {did you know that Queen & Co. and Core have a color matching program?!} Speaking of color matching……see those gorgeous Petaloo flowers that match perfectly???  We make it easy for you, don’t we?  Also,  Lydia used her label maker on the Whitewash for her journaling! If you haven’t seen this technique yet make sure you check out our Technique videos HERE.

It’s the Luck of the Irish
