Core'dinations Christmas Card #2

Hi hard core croppers,

This is my second card for Clare Buswell's challenge to create a Quick and Easy Christmas card.

 I chose a dark green from the shattered collection for the background; ran it through an embossing folder and sanded. The deer and star are die cuts, one from shattered red and vintage yellow. Both sanded. Ribbon added and put onto base red card stock. Done and done!  Quick and Easy Peasy. 

Supplies Used:
Core'dinations shattered collection - dark green and red
Core'dinations vintage collection - yellow/gold
Bazzil - pomegranate card stock
Sizzix M/S Die - mini star 
Sizzix Die - reindeer flight
DCWV - adhesive ribbon

Core'dinations Christmas card #1

Hi hard core croppers,

I have two cards to submit for Clare Buswell's challenge for quick and easy Christmas cards.

Supplies Used:
Core'dinations whitewash with red core
Sizzix embossing folder
Hero Arts felt flowers/leaves
K&Co. gems
Bazzill - pomegranate card stock
On The Surface - ruby metallic thread 
Core'dinations sanding block, dust cloth

Core'dinations Tag Times Two

Hi hard core croppers. Below is my submission to Katie Nolan-Denham's challenge..."my challenge for you is to make at least two tags. You MUST use Core'dinations visibly on your tags and you MUST stamp on your tags".  I hope you like my two tags; they were a blast to make.  The Thanksgiving one is to send as I made several of these for the holiday. OK, I'll send the other one to a special person as well.

The Thanksgiving tag background was made by rubbing distress inks, spritzing water and drying. Rub ink around all edges. All elements were die cut. The leaves were scrunched and then distressed with ink. When dry they were sprayed with pearl mist. The pumpkin was cut from scrapbook paper, lines bent and distressed. The sentiment was stamped onto the banner. The leaf and acorn at the bottom are the only items adhered flat onto the tag; the rest are popped up. Once all were added to the tag, distress stickles were applied here and there to the leaves and pumpkin. 

The holiday tag background was created with distress paint and water. Once dry it was put into an embossing folder and run through the Cuttlebug. The remainder of the elements were die cut. The trees were sanded and distressed with ink. The deer die cut was scrunched in my hands, opened, sanded and distressed with ink. I cut the deer four more times using a manilla folder, adhered all together to give lots of dimension. I used a Fantastix to rub the distress ink around all the edges of the deer once it dried. The moon was distressed and sprayed with pearl mist. The sentiment was stamped onto a torn tattered banner, scored and folded. Lastly, cording was tied and knotted to tag hole.
