A Couple Core'dination Shares

Here are a couple projects made mostly with Core'dinations cardstock. Their cardstock is so fun to use - not only is it textured, but the core is colored and they have all kind of collections so you can always find something that works for your project. I just received some the Whitewash and Vintage collections the other day and can't wait to play with those! The card includes some Mocha Chica paper and I used my crimper on the blue cardstock to give it some texture. On the layout I used my Martha Stewart border punch and an EK Success heart punch and got crazy with my Clearsnap Chestnut Roan. Even inked the Heidi Swapp chipboard letters.

CK & Me Challenge

One of my favorite columns in Creating Keepsakes magazine each month is Jennifer McGuire's Tools and Techniques column. She is just so stinkin' creative! In the May issue (pg 45-47) she talked about circle punches and had a variety of examples on how to use them. One was the flower below.










I used this technique and made this purple card below. I used Core'dinations cardstock so I also did a little sanding and crinkling too. I decided to leave a sentiment off, but you could easily add one to inside if needed.



Today is NSD - National Scrapbooking Day - and I think I've spent most of the day surfing the net instead of up in my scraproom. I was hoping to go to a crop today, but it just wasn't in the cards. Be sure to check out the Creating Keepsakes Blog thru out the day for more challenges and giveaways!

Thank you Megan for featuring this on the CK Blog! Yippee!
