Core'dinations Ideas for You

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a couple more ways of using the Core'dinations Cardstock with our embossing folders.

The first card below I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits, the second I used the Scalloped Hearts Embosslit and on the last one the Elegant Boquet Embossing Folder. I think the third one is my favourite here.

My next Core'dinations project is a retirement card. Inspired by a Halloween card made by lovely demo friend Elaine, this is a garden shed made with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

I did the roof with the Scallop Border Punch in Basic Grey cardstock and daubed the edges with Early Espresso ink.

The door piece is layered on plain Espresso cardstock and the hinges are made with the Word Window punch and Mini Brads.

Hope you like it - and thank you Elaine for the inspiration. X

Strawberries for June

Hello Everyone

When June comes around I always think of strawberries. This is a project I actually made last June. I photographed it and ended up submitting it to Stampin' Up! for a competition at a regional training day. I was delighted to see it on display a few months later when I went to convention. In fact if you click the CONVENTION tag on the left you will see it there.

But I felt it was time for a close up and explanation...The basket is made with the Scallop Envelope die - you need to cut four. I made the basket weave with Crumb Cake cardstock and the Square Lattice Impressions Folder.

The strawberry is the Heart of Hearts die and the leaf is made with the 5 Petal Flower Punch. The flower is done with the Boho Blossoms Punch.

So - better late than never...I hope it was worth waiting for!

A little more recently I made a little gift for my friend Susie...this also featured strawberries....

LOL Back soon with more ideas for you.

Hearts Three!

Hello Everyone

My final heart project is a hanging box, rather than a pocket. You could make these as deep as you like, but I just did a narrow version here.

The handle is made with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch and the Vanilla embellishments are cut using the Perfect Pennants die. The tag is made with three hearts, made with the Small and Large Heart punches and the Scalloped Heart of Hearts die finished with a Basic Pearl.

I used the Red Glimmer Paper to add some bling and the Sprinkled Expressions heart.

Hope you like it...
