More Mother’s Day Inspiration!

Don’t forget to reach out to those women in your life that make every day special for you!

Today we have a beautiful card from Designer Kerri Smith using the David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking system. The great thing about this system is cards take only minutes. AND this sentiment, “for you with love”, from Step 3 is so versatile. You could make this card and have it ready to go, adding the sticker sentiment at the last minute depending on the occasion. BUT since we are celebrating mom’s Designer Kerri Smith used the mother’s day sentiment from the white and black stickers.

We can’t wait to see what you create with this fabulous system.

Remember to share those creations on the David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking system FACEBOOK page!

You’re Special _______

The great thing about the David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking system is it’s versatility.  Basicall you can swap ideas that you see here with any of the sentiments OR just make a “You’re Special” card and keep it on hand for any occasion that arises.

Designer Margie Higuchi created this example for us today.

Here are a few tips:

1.) Use the die cut shapes on the Step  Two layers to match and place your sentiment.

2.) Mix and match the Step 3 pearls from other packs.  These pink pearls are found in the Butterfly 2 Shapes & Cupcake Shapes both of which were not used on this card.

3.) Use a SQUARE cardbase! EEEEK! These are so great and not that hard to do. See how Margie used the Step 2 A2 layer and then balanced it with the Border Strips?  Brilliant and EASY!

Have a beautiful day!

David Tutera Celebrate Cards

We are here with some inspiration from our David Tutera Design Team. These talented women have been working hard the last few weeks!  Make sure you check out our David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking system that is available exclusively at JoAnn Fabric and Craft stores.

Did you know we have a playlist video on our YouTube channel that has tons of videos for this line?  Check them out HERE!

The great thing about this cardmaking line is that you can make easy cards in minutes or you can add your own personal touch like Designer Trine-Brandt Lassen did for us here.  Sunbursts are a hot ticket on layouts and cards right now and the Step 2 layers make it easy to create your own. Since it is already cut to fit the cardbase, all you need to do is cut your strips for the sunburst!

And … notice how  Trine used the backside of the large dot layer?

And Designer Shaunte Wadley created this stunning A7 card that is full of bright colors and tons of layers. Sand them, cut them, stitch them and make them your own!

So much fun, don’t you think???

Debbie Standard

My name is Debbie Standard. I have been scrapping for about 15 years now. I am a wife, mother to four, step-mother to two more, grandmother to 11 and have a great-granddaughter by my husband’s oldest grandchild. To keep myself in scrapping supplies I work as a Critical Care Nurse in the Surgical/Trauma ICU in a level one trauma center in San Antonio, Texas. I have been doing this for about 18 years now. I am only working part-time now and that gives me more time to spend doing the things I love to do – scrapping, crocheting, running, kayaking and biking. We live on three acres near the Guadalupe River where we built our dream home. I have been published in most all of the US scrapping magazines. I love creating both cards and layouts and luckily have a lot of kids and grand-kids to use for subjects. I have met so many wonderful people through the scrap world who have become my long distance friends. I am on a few more card Design Teams as well so get to spread the Core’dination’s around. I am thrilled to be a part of this creative team. Core’dination’s products are just amazing and I can’t imagine using any other cardstock. There is such a huge selection of products and they are always coming out with something new and different – makes me want to scrap all the time. I am so honored to work with this talented group of women – they are such an inspiration and Core’dination’s staff is just the best!
