Spellbinders and Core’dinations Blog Swap! Day 1

Welcome to the Spellbinders and Core’dinations Blog Swap!

This week Spellbinders™ has teamed up with Core’dinations Color Core
Cardstock® to showcase the wonderful ways our products work together!

Hello blogging friends! Today, I have a card to share with you using three different collections from Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock.

I used the BasicGrey Collection Whimsy for the card base, pink embossed mat piece, brown ironwork die cut. For the flower I used the pink side of the Chocolate Box Collection (brown/pink) and the white with the stamped images is from the Super Assortment.

I sanded the pink embossed cardstock from the BasicGrey Collection Whimsy and then I used the Distrezz-it-All tool to distress the edges. Then I stamped the image on to the white cardstock using Rich Cocoa ink. The stamps are from JustRite Stampers Cling CL-02185 Bon Voyage and CL-02195 Greetings From Paris. I used LF-002 Creative Book Pages Two and S4-348 Postage Stamp to create the die cuts and I inked the edges using Ranger Bundled Sage, Antique Linen, Victorian Velvet Distress Inks. Then I inked the edges again with Rich Cocoa.


Here is a close up of the postage stamp. I used Glue Gloss and added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap to the stamp and seam binding bow.

To create the flower I used the pink side of the Chocolate Box Collection (brown/pink) and S5-050 Rose Creations die templates from Spellbinders. I shaped the petals, then glued the layers together and added a button from My Mind's Eye and a White Pearl from Want2Scrap™ to the center of the flower and edged the flower with glitter. I used S5-059 Ironwork Motif and BasicGrey Collection Whimsy to create the accent die cut.



For a finishing touch I added some Finesse Swirls Brown Rhinestones and 72 Count White Pearls from Want2Scrap.

~Ok now for all of the details.~

Sweet Puppy Kerra Layout

Hello blogging friends! Today, I have a layout of our sweet puppy to share with you. Well, I guess she's not exactly a puppy anymore but she is just as playful as one LOL. ;-)


I love adding dimension to my layouts and I know that doesn't always work the best when putting them into an album but this one is going on an easel and I am going to use it as a home decor piece. I love to have layout out around the house for display and to enjoy them. I started out with a piece of Kraft paper and then I used one of the lace borders from Crafty Secrets Antique Trims stamp set. Next I stamped flourishes around the outer edges using Crafty Secrets Flourishes stamp set. I used Rich Cocoa ink to stamp the images. Then I inked the edges of the paper with Ranger Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and inked the outer edges with Rich Cocoa.


To create the letters for the title I used the Grand Calibur, LF-003 Donna's Alphas die templates and Premium Craft Foils Jewel Tones from Spellbinders. First I cut the letters and then I used the Grand Impressabilities GI-001 Fall Splendor to emboss the leaf print into the foil and then I sanded the foil. I added some Baby Bling Black Rhinestones to the side of each letter. You can also see a close up of the Flourish stamps along the edge of the paper.

Here is a close up of the flourishes and leaves. I used Premium Craft Foils Precious Metals and Jewel Tones and S5-071 Twisted Metal Tags and Accents, S5-073 Orchard Harvest Tags & Accents to make the flourishes and leaves. After I cut/embossed the foil then I sanded it. I also added a piece of lace trim and Finesse Swirls Black Rhinestones and 72 Counts Brown Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™.


Here is a close up of the Antique Trims lace stamp from Crafty Secrets.

Sparkling Nestabling™

Hello blogging friends! Today, I have a tutorial to share with you showing another way to use a piece of Nestabling™ from Want2Scrap™ even if you don't have a die template.


Instead of using a die cut I used a 4 inch doily for my focal point and stamping base.


I started by inking the doily with three colors of Distress Ink--Tumbled Glass (blue), Victorian Velvet (rose) and Antique Linen.


Next I stamped a sentiment in the center using the Grand Greetings stamp set from Crafty Secrets and then I inked the edges with Rich Cocoa ink.


Then I added the Nestabling™ to the doily. The third circle of the Nestabling™ Heart Circles Pink Rhinestones fits perfectly in the center of a 4 in doily! Gotta love that!! When you are using your Nestabling™ sometimes it can be a lot of fun to think out of the box and look at other ways you can use it.


To add a little sparkle I used Glue Gloss on the Doily and then added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter.



Here are a couple of close up pictures.


I used LF-006 Wonderful Wings die template to create the butterfly in the corner and then I added some glitter, Finesse Swirl White Pearl and 72 Count Pink Rhinestones. I also added a seam binding bow, trinket pin and button. The card base is Simply Smooth Ivory from Discount Cardstock and the designer paper is from the Vanity Fair Collection by My Mind's Eye.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a Wonderful weekend!!

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi

It's Your Day Card

Good morning blogging friends! Today, I have a quick and easy sparkling card to share with you. ;-)

All of the card stock is from Discount Cardstock and this week the Straw 110# is on sale. Click HERE to check out all of the details. I also used Posh Wagon Red Dungaree and Simply Smooth White card stock.

I stamped the sentiment from Crafty Secrets Grand Greetings stamp set on to Simply Smooth White card stock and then I used the Grand Calibur and S4-114 Standard Circles Large to cut/emboss the circle shape. Then before removing the paper from the die template I used it as a stencil and inked the inside edges using Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink. I used the Posh Wagon Red Dungaree and S4-345 Picot Edge Circles to create a decorative edge circle shape and then added the Nestabling™ Heart Circles Brown Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™ and layered the two pieces with 3D Foam Squares.


To create the beautiful and sparkling flower I used Posh Wagon Red Dungaree and LF-005 Grand Peony Creation. I die cut several layers of the flower, shaped it, layered and glued the pieces together. Then I used Glue Gloss along the edges and added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap.

For a finishing touch I added Finesse Swirls Brown Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™ and a Seam Binding bow.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a Wonderful & Creative Day!!

Crafty Secrets DT Challenge "Retro Inspiration"

Good morning blogging friends! Today, is the Crafty Secrets Design Team Challenge. Each month our DT Coordinator, Vicki Chrisman picks a theme for us to work with and this month the theme is Retro Inspiration. Here is the card that I designed for the challenge. The fun image of the lady is from the Girlfriends Creative Scraps. The floral background paper was printed from the Creating With Vintage Patterns CD. I simply hand cut the image around the black frame and added an die cut to the side as an accent piece. I used S5-071 Twisted Metal Tags and Accents from Spellbinders™. Here is a close up of the designer paper. The Creating With Vintage Patterns CD has over 70 Color Pattern Papers. In the lower right corner I made a flower with leaves to match the designer paper using Frosted Pink Prismatic, Herbal Garden Medium Prismatic, S5-067 Anemone Flower Topper and S4-327 Floral Flourishes. For the flower center I stamped one of the images from Lacey Patterns Stamp Set on to Ivory paper and then placed a 1/2 Clear Epoxy Circles on top of the image and hand cut. I added the flower center, curled the petals and then added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter.For a finishing touch I added a few Baby LeCreme Pearls from Want2Scrap™ to the card.

Welcome Roses

Good morning blogging friends! My mom was in need of a welcome card for one of the new employees at work.


Here is the card that I designed. The card is basically pretty quick and easy but by using the Nestabling™, Nestaboard™ and other bling it really dressed the card up.


I used Tuxedo Black ink and two stamp sets from Crafty Secrets, Birds of Happiness (sentiment) and Grand Greetings (flourish accent) and stamped them on to Frosted Pink Prismatic paper. Then I taped the S5-030 Fancy Tags Two die template for perfect placement and used the Grand Calibur from Spellbinders to cut/emboss the tag. I added the tag to Nestaboard™ Fancy Tags Two and then added Nestabling™ Fancy Tags Two Black Rhinestones. I used S5-071 Twisted Metal Tags and Accents to cut/emboss the black frame. Then I added the small rhinestones from 72 Count Pink Rhinestones.


I used E8-003 Classic Triple Scallop Edgeabilities® to cut/emboss the decorative edge along the bottom of the card. Then I added 72 Count Pink Rhinestones and Baby Bling Black Rhinestones.




All of the cardstock is from Discount Cardstock and the designer paper is from Authentique Uncommon Collection.

Good morning blogging friends! For my project I created a wall hanging using one of the album pages from Chipboard Album Style C from Want2Scrap™.


For the center image I used CL-02195 Greetings from Paris and S4-190 Labels Four to create the die cut. Then I used Distress Inks to add the color, inked the edges in Rich Cocoa and added Pralines & Cream Glitter.

For the oval I used Simply Smooth Ivory Cardstock, S4-314 Lacey Ovals die template, Nestaboard™ Lacey Ovals and Nestabling™ Lacey Ovals Moss Pearls to create the die cut, add dimensions and embellish.
In the upper left corner I stamped some of the images from CL-02185 Bon Voyage and CL-02195 Greetings from Paris with Rich Cocoa Ink. Then I added a beaded chain and some fun little embellishments--a trinket from Bo Bunny, a tiny glass bottle from Tim Holtz, and the perfume bottle from Shabby Chic Labels Four stamp set. I added a Brown Rhinestone to the trinket, glitter and Paris paper to the tiny bottle and added them to the beaded chain with wire. I added tulle across the top for some trim and a ribbon for a hanger.


I stamped a couple more images in the bottom left corner. The background paper is from Pink Paislee from the Butterfly Garden Collection.


In the bottom right corner I added a combination of die cut flourishes, Finesse Swirls Brown Rhinestones, a Glimmer Misted felt rose, Cream Rose Trim, leaves and lots of glitter for some added sparkle.

Good morning blogging friends! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! I can't believe how fast the summer flew by and the kids are back in school again. Today, I have a quick little back to school project to share with you.I designed this quick and easy little set with a book marker and a mini pencil box. For the book marker I used New Champagne Parchment and Really Red 80# paper from Discount Cardstock. I layered the two pieces, added rubons from Kaiser Craft and a little color using Copic markers. To finish it off I added a small piece of stitched twill.I didn't have a template for the pencil box so I designed my own. I used New Champagne Parchment, Really Red 80#, Simply Smooth White paper from Discount Cardstock. To create the die cuts I used the Grand Calibur™ and S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants, S5-028 Nested Pennants and S4-324 Ribbon Banners from Spellbinders™. I layered the die cuts, added a rubon, colored with Copic markers and added Nestabling™ Nested Pennants Black Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™.
