Big News and a Blog Hop!

Posted on October 12, 2011 | 5 comments

I have some big news!  I am the new Design Team Coordinator for SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™!  I started Oct. 1, its been fun and busy! I have a chance to use what I know to help build another business.  I still work for  Spellbinders, so it’s been a bit busy here as I adjust to the added responsibilities.

So this week I have posted 3 projects to the blog there, for the Graphic 45 blog hop we’re doing, by way of trading, covering a post, and then covering for another post.  Crazy!  I need to create more and have some projects in my back pocket just in case…

Anyway, go to both SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L Blog and Graphic 45 Blog to see the fabulous stuff and leave comments there to win prizes.

Here’s a shot of today’s project, (click the image) for more details and comment there to win (and scroll back to see the other posts this week too!):

Spellbinders and Core’dinations Blog Swap!

Posted on September 30, 2011 | 75 comments

Today is my day for the Spellbinders™ and Core’dinations® Blog Swap!

My card today is cute and easy –

So easy, in fact, that you can make this in one cut/emboss pass using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® machine!

I took a piece of Core’dinations Black Magic Cardstock and cut the front edge with a Spellbinders Edgeabilities® Classic Petal Edger die and one of the Decorative Inserts from the same set.  At the same time, I cut the Fancy Tags Three  and Labels Twenty dies.  In the embossing step I added a Classic Rectangles LG die to just emboss the frame onto the front of the card, and the rest of the dies embossed in that pass as well.

I stamped ‘Take Time” from the Gina K. Designs The Best Things in Life set on the Fancy Tag, with Clearsnap Colorbox Black Pigment ink. then sanded the embossed areas of all the die cuts, and also around the edges, including the card base.  I love how the colored core shows through!  And Core’dinations cardstock is nice and sturdy, it’s great for die cutting and card making.

A little bit of adhesive from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L, 3D Foam Squares, and the card is done!

Don’t you love how the Spellbinders Edgeabilities dies make the fabulous edge!!

And now for the contest details..
