2014_06_coredinations 

Hope you've enjoyed the terrific collaboration between Stampendous products and Core'dinations' gorgeous papers! We have been thrilled to bring it to you! Today is the final day!! Of course there are prizes! We'll give away three packs of goodness! The Prize Package includes the Lovely Garden Stamp Set; the Matching Lovely Garden Cutting Dies from Stampendous; a Sand It Kit from Core'dinations which includes a sanding block, replacement sandpaper, and a "must-have" Dust Buddy clean up cloth; Core'dinations will also be sending the lucky winners some of their fantastic 6" X 6" paper pads. PLUS an extra special bonus - our friends at Dreamweaver Stencil will be adding the gorgeous Stone Wall stencil that Jamie Martin used in her terrific card she'll be posting this week (you can see a peek of it on this blog hop banner!)  In the meantime, here's my project:


Here's what I used to create this card:

Core'dinations® Sand It Kit
DecoArt® Paints
Bazzill® Cardstock
Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White
VersaFine™ Onyx Black Stamp Pad
Imagine Crafts StāzOn™ - Orange Zest
Cuttlebug™ Folder - Dots
Sizzix® Tim Holtz® Embossing Folder - Stripes
Beacon Adhesive® Zip Dry™
Foam Mounting Squares


Here's what I did to create this card:

Using the Creative Palette and paints, I created my papers for the flowers
Stamp the flower three times for each flower
Using the dies, cut out the pieces to create two flowers
Create card base
Trim orange paper and green paper to desired sizes
Run both through machine to dry emboss and sand
Add dot paper to card base
Put together flower layers and adhere to card
Freehand cut three leaves and add to card
Stamp sentiment, trim and sponge ink around edges
Trim a mat for sentiment and adhere the two
Adhere sentiment to card

It was a really fun and easy card to create but it looks like it was way more complicated!  I love how the colors pop on this one!  So, on to bigger and better...
