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.

Core'dinations Blooms with Xyron

Today's card is one that I created featuring Core'dinations card stock and Xyron Adhesive.  I adore the way you can get such detail with Core'dinations colored cored paper.  Look how it really makes my embossed paper pop.  The flower paper background is all card stock created by embossing and sanding...isn't it divine.  Speaking of sanding, if you don't own one of Core'dinations Sand it Gadget...good lands get one.  They are wonderful and I must say it is one of my favorite tools, I use it all the time.  

The ribbon was folded in half and glued together using Xyron's double sided tape.  It made adding my ribbon so quick and easy.  

The flower was stamped and cut multiple times, fussy cutting each layer.  I think it really looks like it blooming out of the card, don't you think?

I'm amazed that this whole card was done with solid card stock and between stamping, sanding and embossing I was able to create this detailed creation.  WOW!!!

Here is a complete list of supplies I used:
