Who is read for some more amazing projects from our team?

First up we have a layout from Debbie Standard using some gorgeous embellishments and circles on this layout to showcase the Authentique Carefree collection and the embossing. Debbie embossed her own Core Essentials with a Tim Holtz Sizzix folder (bricks) and she used a piece of pre embossed Core Impressions from Graphic45 to anchor her layout as well (damask). OH…and don’t forget the Petaloo Flowers that match our Cardstock perfectly with the Color Matching Series where Petaloo flowers are died to match our cardstock perfectly!

And Andrea Amu made a gorgeous altered candle box using our Spotted Collection and load of gorgeous Authentique goodies.  Then, she topped it off with some beautiful May Arts ribbon.

It’s the Luck of the Irish

Here on the Core blog this week!

We have  a special treat from Core Teacher Vicki Boutin for you today!

What a way to to show off all the amazing colors and textures of Core’dinations cardstock. Our color families core’dinate in each line so you can mix and match them easily.

Here is a little bit about this layout from Vicki:

Anyone gearing up for St Patty’s Day??

I AM!

We love love Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds and our town St Patty’s Day parade. It’s all about the green here!

And Design Team Member Shaunte Wadley created this super cute layout that is all about being lucky.

Shaunte used Spotted, Tim Hotlz Kraft Core, Core Essentials and Vintage Cardstock on this layout. It is ALL cardstock! And with the help of some Lifestyle Crafts dies…you have a fabulous creation.

Fabulous Friday with Some….

KRAFT CORE!

You asked and you shall receive!

I have for you today a gorgeous layout from Design Team Member Kim Jeffress using Tim Holtz Kraft Core, Spotted and Core Essentials. Isn’t AWESOME how wonderfully all of our cardstock lines “core’dinate” with each other???  It makes scrapping easy

Kim works the tone on tone neutrals on this layout with a pop of red. Don’t forget all that gorgeous sanding, too! And Kim added a touch of paint along the edges of the layout, too.  It’s just those subtle details that make this so gorgeous.

Make sure you are asking your retailers to pick up our new Sand It Set! It’s a  Sand It Gadget and Dust Buddy in one!

Have a GREAT weekend!

PS…don’t forget to sign up for our NEW Hard Core Crafter program HERE!!!

Remember those invitations?

We have all made invitations for parties before. But the question is…what do you do with them once the party is over?

A few months ago we shared this super cute invitation from Design Team Member Lydia Jackson for her son’s birthday party.

Well…here is the layout that Lydia created using one of those  invites! What a great way to preserve that special memory and invitation that she created  for her little man, don’t you think?  She used primary colors  just like the spaceship and accented them throughout the page with the Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions and the Tillie Spotted cardstock and some Core Essentials of course!
