Core'dinations and Graphic 45 Go Hand in Hand

 

 

This week Graphic 45 and Core'dinations are teaming up to show you how well they work together.  Did you know that Core'dinations make paper pads that coordinate with Graphic 45's color palettes?  Yeap there is a light and a dark and they are wonderful to use with any of the Graphic 45 Collections. 

 

 

 

Today I've created a card using the Bride 2 Baby Graphic 45 collection.   The Core'dinations Card Stock was embossed and then sanded to create the swirling background.  Have you ever used the sand block from Core'dinations?  It's a must have tool. 

 

Here is a close up of the front of the card. Of course all of Graphic 45's matching stickers and cardstock making layering and dimension easy peasy 

 

 

This is an interior picture of the card.  I always say make it pretty on the inside as well as the out.

Blog Hop / CTMH's February Stamp of the Month

Welcome to February's  Close To My Heart, Stamp of the Month, Blog Hop!. If you just joined us from Pamela's  blog then you're hopping on the right path.

This month's stamp set "Friendship" is one you'll be sure to use over and over again.  It's simply beautiful.  The largest Fleur De Lis is a perfect square and just lent itself so well to the technique I used for this card.  I used my new favorite stamp set " Universal Backgrounds and stamped plain cardstock with Twilight ink and the musical sheet music.  I then stamped the Fleur De lis in versa mark over the top of the music and embossed with cocoa embossing powder.  Then I cut the image into 2 x 2 inch squares.  Layered them up a bit and placed on my base card using some of our awesome foam tape.  Lastly to finish out the main motif I stamped on more smaller Fleur De Lis and layered over the top.  The background paper is from the new paper collection Bliss and it's so elegant...I love it and know you will to. Remember you can get all of these new products starting February 1st as the fresh idea book premieres.
