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!

Who LOVES Whitewash?

Ellen — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:53:12 +0000

There is nothing betting than adding a wonderful accent to your projects just by sanding. It is so easy yet gives such a dramatic pop, especially when the Core is red.

Kim Moreno made these gorgeous Valentine Cards that focus on Whitewash. The black and white backgrounds totally set off the red core!

OH how we LOVE to emboss…

We are continuing our LOVE theme this month with a super simple way to frame your layout from Cari Locken.

You don’t even need a fancy embossing machine for this either, you can use a Scor It or just a stylus and a ruler. Remember to score the back of your cardstock and sand the front to show the Core.

This simple technique frames the layout and draws you immediately to the focal point of this sweet photo!
