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!

Thank EWE (tee hee)

If you got here from Julie's blog, then you are in the right place! If not, start HERE at the Artful Delight blog.

It is our lovely leader Leeanne's birthday today!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEEANNE!!! This is actually the birthday card that I made for her! Hopefully it will arrive at her house today! :) 

Happy Birthday Bee-u-tiful

Okay, so I took some liberties with the sketch. The big rectangle is the tree. The small square is the bee. The layer behind it with it's layer is the frame and the background. The circle is the button and the scalloped edge is the twine. The sentiment is where the small rectangle goes on the bottom right. Remember to always use your imagination with sketches! They are meant to kick start YOUR creativity! :) 


Recipe: 
  • Artful Delight's April Kit. It's sold out but I just wanted to show those that purchase the kits how useful they can be months later and how great they are! You'll see a different kit each day that I am still creating with because she packs so much into them! 
  • Twine: The Twinery
  • Sentiments: My Pink Stamper: Sweetest Cupcakes™ (Happy Birthday) and My Pink Stamper: Punny-licious™ (Bee-u-tiful)


******

Artful Delight is having an AMAZING set of Coupon Codes for you to use to purchase kits! This is SUCH a great deal! This is the deal in her own words:

For 1 week only I am offering pre-payment on subscriptions. There will be an option to purchase a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription with a coupon code for 34% off. I know kind of a weird sale percentage but I am turning 34 on September 23rd so that is where the number came from. The coupon code will be taken off just the price of the subscription and then the full shipping charges will be applied at checkout.

So just so you see the savings, there is a $9.35 savings per kit (off the 6 month subscription price) if you pre-pay and use the coupon code. It is only on pre-payment of subscriptions.

There will be a 15% coupon code for any purchase over $23.00.

The 34% off coupon code is BDAYBASH
The 15% off coupon code is BDAYBASH15

Nuts about You!

Hello! I pulled out last year's Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg for this entire card! Remember to pull out last year's collections and mix them into new ones if you would like! I got this from Pumpkin Spice and you can click on the links in the recipe to take you to the page where you can get individual sheets. :)


Recipe:



I made this for the Cricut Circle Magazine challenge of using Cosmo Cricket, at least three Cricut Cuts (squirrel, acorn, and 6 leaves), and embossing!

Happy Camper Release Party!

Welcome to the release party for Happy Camper by Imaginisce!!! I am really excited about this cute little line and there is SO much versatility to it! 


You're a Hoot
I made this owl card using die cuts that came along with it, a "snag 'em up" and patterned paper. 

Recipe: 


Thank You
I made these thank you cards for my cousin Katie. I married into the best family ever. I truly believe it. Anyway, Katie is one of my (many) new cousins and she is an INCREDIBLE quilter. You can check out her blog HERE. It's called "From the Blue Chair" because she sits in her adorable blue chair to quilt from.

Anyway, she sent me the most adorable elephant that I couldn't love any more than I do. She (the elephant) will have her own photo-shoot and post one day so you will get to meet her. I wanted to send Kati a thank you card along with something I made so I made these three thank you's for her to use - from the blue chair :)

Friends FUR-ever
This last one was just for fun for me. I had a great time making it and still don't feel like I'm done tinkering with it, but alas, it must go up on the blog. :)

This is just the opening day of the Happy Camper Release Party! Check out what all of the other ladies have done for you today and make sure to leave a comment on the Imaginisce blog everyday because there are prizes to be won! :)

Cardstock: Paper Trey Ink™, Core'dinations™

Design notes: I just had to use Robyn's favorite cartridge: Create a Critter, but I absolutely love making shape cards so I thought I would make a shape card for the blog hop.

I used the Twinery twine around the flowers and used Glossy Accents on the grass and the flower petals.

It's my best friend Kourtni's birthday tomorrow (HAPPY BIRTHDAY - and yes, we share the same name) and this was her birthday card! So she just received this in the mail. I love you friend!

Since it is Kourtni's birthday, I think I should have a giveaway. As I just got her one of these for her birthday, I will give one away to you as well! All the cake cartridges work all of the Cricuts and I use this font the most and the images are fabulous too!

Cuttin' Up Saturday with My Pink Stamper!

Hello everybody!

This is the My Pink Stamper edition of Cuttin' Up Saturdays at the Cuttlebug Challenge! I hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

I think you already know by now that I LOVE My Pink Stamper stamps. This set is no different. In fact, you all have a chance to win it if you play along this week! This set is called Punny-licious.

I used my Gypsy™ and the Gypsy Wanderings™ "cartridge" for this whole card. As always, I am happy to email you the .gypsy file if you would like.

I used Core'dinations card stock. I meant to emboss one of the layers with Swiss Dots™ and totally forgot! But like Robyn at My Pink Stamper says, "If I wanted it to be perfect, I'd buy it at the store". So, I still love my Hoppy Birthday card. :)

I welded the bunny in the grass shadow to the card base (which is a shadow of a tag) in light pink.
Then I cut the bunny in the grass shadow again in dark pink.
Next I cut the bunny in the grass (regular) in olive green - my favorite color!
I used some basic shapes for the middle of the card, some white and black ribbon and black adhesive gems and voila! Hoppy birthday!

Don't forget to "hop" over to the Cuttlebug Challenge for a chance to win her Punny-licious stamp set! What a great prize! Thanks so much, Robyn!

Be Inspired #98-Under the Sea

This week at the Cuttlebug Challenges Digital Delights by Louby Loo is sponsoring us. We are all doing an Under the Sea theme and having a wonderful time with these awesome digital stamps!

For my Wednesday project I chose the adorable Sea Crab and the Under the Sea Background. This was only my second time coloring in digital stamps so I think I did alright! I decided to give the crab polka-dotted boots. I think they're too cute. I used Glossy Accents™ on his eyes and tongue and did a bit of doodling with my white gel pen.

The background was pretty straight forward. I used my Copic™ markers for all the coloring. I put Glossy Accents™ on the kelp and picked up some sand from an obliging sand box in a playground by our house and glued that to the bottom.
The sign was cut from Everyday Paper Dolls™ twice: once out of kraft card stock and the second from glossy white. I simply cut off the top and bottom of the glossy white and adhered it to the kraft sign. The kraft sign was first sponged with gold ink. I used My Pink Stamper's Punny-licious set for the "Crab-ulous" sentiment. I LOVE her stamps! They are such great quality.

The fish tank was also cut from Everyday Paper Dolls™ and the patterned paper was K&Co paper stack and then embossed with D'Vine Swirls™.

I simply layered the embossed paper onto the glossy white card stock base, pop dotted the background from Digital Delights, put the sign behind/under the background and glued the crab down. I also added some bubbles coming up from the crab.

Play along with us this week using the Under the Sea theme where you can win a complete set of digital stamps shown here!

Recipe:
Paper: Bazzill™ Diamond White card stock, K&Co
Cartridge: Everyday Paper Dolls™
Embossing: D'vine Swirls Emboss Folder™
Stamps:Digital Delights by Louby Loo
Sentiment: My Pink Stamper™
Other: Glossy Accents, Dimensionals, Hero Arts™ adhesive gems (bubbles)
