Core Cards Creative Frenzy

Whew! This post is going to be picture heavy! Hold onto your hats! This is for the Core'dinations card-makers DT call. Check it out HERE. You have until August 10th to get your projects posted. :)

**Edit: So I knew I had gotten inspiration from someone out there in  scrappy land, but couldn't remember who and it popped up on the Core blog today! I had seen the rainbow tag idea from Rebecca Keppel on her layout! I just forgot to pin it! I also cased my own thank you cards that you can see HERE. So it came from two places! :) **





Rainbow Tag Thank You



1. Here's what I love about the new 4.25x5.5" stacks.... I know there are other paper hoarders like me. I HATE using my pretty Core as a card base, but I want it on the front of my card. So use an ordinary white card base (and that way it is white inside to write on as well) and then add a black piece of Core that is already PERFECTLY cut for you to the front! 

2. In this case, I am scoring and sanding it before I put it on the front of my card. Love it. 

3. Next I pulled out my Twinery Twine. We glean inspiration from everywhere. You can find a piece of Core to match ANY color in your stash. So I started with the twine and then matched my Core to the Twinery twine. **I know, my twine is a mess!**

4. Between the Core Essentials Super "Elements" Assortment (one of my favorites!) and the Core Essentials "Darks", I had all 5 colors. :) I went for a darker color blue so I could use my scraps. Next I cut stars to match the colors in various sizes.

5. Place the stars where you think you want them and then adhere them down. I used foam tape on a few of them and just put others flat. Then take the tags and layer them adhering the top portion of the tag to the bottom of the tag above it. Do not place adhesive where the twine is going to go. I chose to do this part after the above steps. You can always do it first if you would like. 

6. Stamp your sentiment and doodle around the edges. Add twine. Then put foam dimensional tape on the back side of the whole tag ensemble. 

7. Adhere it to your pre-cut 4.25x5.5" scored "mat". Adhere the whole thing to your card base. Voila! Enjoy!

Core Challenges #1 - Hexagons, Whales, and Colors, oh my!

Okay, so when I started this challenge I felt super inspired. When I finished this challenge, I felt super defeated. I pulled this card apart like 4 times trying to get it right, but I'm not super duper pleased with it. I LOVE what Lydia did with the challenge. Hmm. Oh well. It's still okay. :)

Hans' Birthday Card!

How has it been 5 days since I have posted!?! Where does the time go!?

Thank you for all of your sweet comments on the My Pink-alicious Blog Hop (the layout for my husband). I told him that if he needed some extra encouragement to go read all of the comments! :)

This was for my husband's birthday (March 1st). He recently came with me to pick up doggy food supplies and picked out this hedge hog squeaker toy for Spoon. We couldn't figure out if it was a porcupine or a hedge hog. The tag said hedge hog. So I made this card for him because she loved it so much she tried to tear it's nose off within hours! (Apparently this is a sign of true love for dogs). 

Anyway, Hans also has this thing with umbrella drinks. On our honeymoon in Fiji he just wanted a drink with an umbrella in it to take a picture of and the entire 10 days we were there, he NEVER got one! So the next Christmas my mom got him a whole package of umbrellas to put in his drinks. We've teased him about it ever since. So I wanted to give him an umbrella drink. :) 



This is what the inside/middle of the card looks like:

New Collection By Imaginisce: Hippity Hop!

Welcome to the release party of Hippity Hop! This may be my most favorite collection YET! Over at Imaginisce, we are having a splendid time playing with it, inspiring you and... yes... giving some away! Check out how you can win something over HERE!


When we got the sneak peeks of this collection, the girls sweetly teased "I see Courtney making a shaped bunny card with this collection". Ugh! They know me so well! I LOVE those girls!!! So here it is in all it's bunny glory! :)

--------------------

I know I know, it's shocking, but I actually did a card 
a: without the Cricut
b: clean and simple
c: PAPER PIECED! 
I saw this stamp and IMMEDIATELY knew I wanted to do this with it. I am so glad it turned out about the same way as it did in my head. :)

I was super inspired to paper piece by my DTmate and sweet friend (and now DT leader for Imaginisce) Cari Locken. She paper-pieced our sweet penguin stamp in this post HERE. It's a gorgeous layout! So I was excited to try something simpler like my little umbrella friend here. :)
