Core'dinations Cardstock and Holiday Oval Frame

This was actually a very quick card to make for me.
The new core'dinations cardstock has a different coloured core so when you tear it, distress it, emboss it or sand it you reveal the inner colour and get fabulous dimension and texture.
 I simply ran the cardstock through the Big shot with the Holiday Frame embossing folder.
Then lightly sanded the surface with my sanding block and wiped it off.
I have stuck on a tree from the Pennant Parade stampset and a cotton ribbon on the front with dimensional adhesives.
Card Recipe:
Stampset: Pennant Parade
Ink: Gumball green, Raspberry ripple, Summer Starfruit.
Cardstock: Whisper white, Gumball green
 and Early Espresso Core'dinations.
Ribbon: 2.2cm natural cotton
Tools: Sharp scissors
Big shot, embossing folder,
Sanding block,
scallop edge punch.
2-way glue pen and dazzling diamonds.

Launch nigth party!


It was a very big night...
I want to say Thank you to the eight beautiful, lovely ladies who came to my launch night on Saturday!
We made three projects and used a pile of new products from the new Annual Catalogue and the Seasonal catalogue.
In the hall we had seventy or more women, crafting, talking, making cards and gifts and learning new techniques.
 A great chance to catch up with friends we haven't seen for such a long time.
I hope you all had fun?
We played with the new Core'dinations cardstock, embossed with woodgrain and sanded it to reveal its different coloured core.
 These gorgeous little owls were certainly a hit. We punched them out from the Snow Festival Designer Series paper (DSP) with the 1" circle punch. She is peeking through the 1 1/4" circled hole in her tree.
We tried a new paper fold, scoring it with the Simply Scored Tool and embellishing it with new Apothecary Accent Framelit dies.
I was so busy all night at my table, I didn't have time to photograph the sample table, or our completed projects on the night, so this one doesn't show the new butterfly punch we used.
Every launch night needs a 3 D item, a gift you take home to give away, or use yourself.
I designed this note book holder that you can keep your Christmas lists. All those friend and family gift lists and christmas card lists in. 
 We used the Big shot for the Oval Accent die which folds down over the top and is embossed with another new embossing folder called Lacy Brocade.
The flap is secured beneath a 40cm piece of Scalloped Tulle ribbon, so easy to tie and make look pretty.
 Hanging from the tulle bow is a gingerbread man (isn't he fabulous?) and the note book is covered with more Snow festival paper.
Very tired this morning - I had fun -What a way to launch two amazing new catalogues!
Our three projects only scraped the surface of all the new things on offer.
