Happy Thursday

The sun is shining…vacations are happening…AND it’s baseball season!!!

Isn’t this the cutest little guy you’ve ever seen?  Design Team Member Debbie Standard used loads of Bella Blvd goodies on here in addition to some Vintage Core Cardstock (base) and Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions (Dots)  and a fabulous Core tag!

And how much do you love that star?  They are so so easy to make. Cut out a star with any kind of diecutting machine or even free hand it. Then turn it over and score from point to point and then sand the front! Remember to always scor from the back so the raised image is on the front to sand. For more tips on scoring check out our videos here.

And make sure you check to see if you are a winner!

Bella Blvd posted their winners here and ours were posted here.

See the torn/ruffled cardstock?  You need a really great adhesive to make sure the Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions (pink ) will adhere to that ruffle and Glue Arts is perfect.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today we have a gorgeous layout from Design Team Member Andrea Amu featuring some mixing and matching of our Core Impressions lines.  That is one of the coolest things about our cardstock. You can mix and match it making endless combinations!

For example: Andrea used some Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions (dot) with some Jenni Bowlin Brights Core Impression (butterflies).

Sand (of course!) and add some of your favorite embellishments and Voila!

More Peachy Keen Color Challenge

Inspiration!!!

We posted our July Peach Keen Colour Challenge this week so make sure you read all about it here. There is some yummy Core’dinations Cardstock up for grabs!

Here is the palette:

And the inspiration piece:

First up is a layout from Debbie Standard.  Debbie embossed the images and then cut them out as accents on her page.  And how perfect is that wave punch?!?!?!  Make sure you check out that great scoring detail Debbie added to do her journaling.

Today we have a card AND some gift wrapping from Char Dobson.

AND it gets BETTER!

Char had started off just making the card, but then had the great idea to wrap my gift in butcher paper and embellish with the scraps leftover from making my card. It turned out super cute! A nice change from using a traditional gift bag.

Core is so versatile!

Core’dinations: Core Essentials, Chocolate Box, Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions.  Other Supplies: Cricut Nursery Rhymes, Martha Stewart Flower Punch, Fiskars Corner Round Punch, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

Have a GREAT week!
