I used a couple sheets of Core Impressions cardstock for my layout. I used one sheet for the background and then used Cheery Lynn Designs dies, French Flair Stackers and the Ribbon Eyelet Border, to create embellishments with the other sheet. I love that this cardstock is already embossed, so all I had to do was lightly sand the cardstock using Sand-It Gadget to reveal the core color.
I also used Varsity and School Days fonts dies to create part of my title.
To create this card, I used the Dot/Lines embossing plate to emboss the front panel of the card and then used the Sand It Gadget to make it pop. I created a "rainbow" by die cutting 6 different colors of Core Couture cardstock with the smallest of the Little Stackers Scalloped Circle dies and stitched them to the front of the card.
I hope you've enjoyed the first post for this week. Be sure to stop our blog and Core'dinations blog every day this week to see all of the fabulous work created by both design teams!!
Until next post... have a scrap happy day!!

ReplyDeletereally like what you have done with the Core papers. Simple techniques, yet very striking. I'd love to know how you embossed that big sheet with the Cuttlebug numbers folder. Was it pieced, or did you have another trick up your sleeve ?
