Valentines Day with Core'dinations

Hello and Happy Valentines Day.  The heart is wonderful place for all things kind and good.

Here is a card that I designed showcasing Core'dinations Vintage collection and Scarlett from the Darks collection.  

You can see that embossing and sanding the Scarlett red cardstock matches the Vintage cardstock well.  That is one nice feature of Core'dinations cardstock, so many of the collections co-ordinate with each other to design a wonderful presentation.

Add some embellishments like Darice washi tape, rhinestones, pins and ribbon and your have a luscious full bodied presentation of a vintage valentine card.  Visit your nearest LSS and pick up some Core'dinations Cardstock for that special card.

Happy New Year

Sharing a fresh blue and white Happy New Year Decor presentation with you today.   When there is a fresh white snowfall at the beginning of the New Year, I think of white and blue color tones.  Not everyone lives in snow country so I will try to give you the fresh look that snow does bring to the beginning of a New Year.

I like working with star's and my home decor frame for your door will greet anyone who visits your home with the feeling of fresh snow.

The picture taking of the front door was beyond my camera skill on a sunny beautiful day as you can image with all that glass, so I took the picture at night time and the balance of pictures from a wall in my home to appreciate the glitter of the die cut stars.

Lets gather those supplies and get started.  Helmar Tacky Craft Glue did the trick for this project.  Really worked well with ribbon between the star panels.

Just had to show you that I cracked open a new bottle of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.  See that great seal to protect your product until you are ready to use it.  Gott'a love that feature of quality packaging.

Apply a liberal amount of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to have all the ribbons attach to the back of the picture frame.

Now is this not a change from your traditional home decor wreath.  It is so fresh and new to celebrate the beginning of the New Year.

I decided to make a card to celebrate the Beginning of the New Year as well.

Happy New Year everyone!!
