Valentine’s Week Inspiration

Happy {pre} Valentine’s Week!

This week we have Valentine’s Day projects for you all week long. From layouts to cards to fun altered projects we have a ton of inspiration for you.

Let’s get stared with a layout from Design Team Member Debbie Standard featuring the Tim Holtz Kraft Core Seasonal Impressions. This pack of cardstock is SO perfect for the Holidays. You can pick and choose from a variety of colors that core’dinate with the Tim Holtz Kraft Core and the Shattered Kraft Core.

How easy is that?

And a close-up of that awesome Tim Holtz Kraft Core Shattered cardstock. It is SO COOL!

And Debbie added at touch of the Tim Holtz Kraft Core No. 24. Love the black against the pink.

Fabulous Friday with Kids and Core!

Before we get started, don’t forget to sign up for our NEW Hard Core Crafter program! Details are here.

You will get access to tons of giveaways….EXCLUSIVE videos….and it is FREE!!!!

I know we normally do Tutorials on Tuesday but we got a little behind this week with our HCC program and posts so today we have a fun tutorial for you. I wanted to make sure I shared this before Valentine’s Day in case anyone wanted to use it as inspiration.

Our team members have been working with their very own kids to bring you Kids Crafts with Core!

A new series of quick and easy projects designed especially for you to be able to do with your very own family.

Design Team Member Char Dobson created these super cute Valentine’s Day cards with her (uber talented) nine-year old daughter!

Char’s daughter planned the entire pattern, colors, embossing folder….everything! on this project by herself. She even found the heart shape on her own while looking through Cricut cartridge booklets. AND they put this together in less than thirty minutes.

Yes, thirty minutes!

Char’s daughter has loved crafts since she was very young but has only been scrapbooking and cardmaking with her for a year or two. Amazing!

READY?

There is nothing better than some Glitter Silk for Valentine’s Day projects!

Design Team Member April Derrick created this beautiful card using Glitter Silk and Pink Paislee Core Impressions. April sanded the Core Impressions and then used her Ranger Inks. Don’t forget to use a Dust Buddy before you do this so the ink blends better. So many great details on one card!

Colour Lover’s Challenge

Every month Sarah issues us a challenge to get our creative juices flowing and to dive into our stashes of Core’dinations so what better way to start of a new year that with a Colour Lover’s Challenge!

I know a lot of us are covered in snow but that doesn’t mean all you need to think of is white, white white! Let’s use some color this month.

Here is Heather’s colour combination:

And here is her layout:
