Holly Brown: Sanded Core'dinations Purple Flowers

Hi folks!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing this clean and simple card using the Sanded Core'dinations technique from the 4-10 issue.  I didn't want to cover up any of the gorgeous flowers so I simply put some little pearls in the centers of the sanded flowers and added a sentiment to the open space at the top.  The supplies on this card come from Classy Cards 'n Such, one of our wonderful TJ vendors.  Be sure to use the special code in your current issue when you go shopping at Classy Cards 'n Such.  You can find lots of supplies that are perfect for many of our TJ techniques there.   Have a great weekend!

Baby Bragbook

 Hi there!

Hetty here and I am waiting for our grandbaby to show himself,

so while waiting I have started to make a  6x6 bragbook.

Here you see two of the pages where I have used the

dotty edges technique from  the June/July 2012 TJ Newsletter

and also the Sanded Core'dinations from the April/May 2010.

I found this cute embossingfolder with tiny baby feet. 

So sure that this one will be used a lot in the next few weeks.

 The images you see here are digital images by

Create with TLC and colored with copic markers.

 

I chose to make colored dots as a frame to the picture

in coördination with the dots on the scrappaper behind it.

Now only my DD has to deliver the baby and  I can

finish of the pages with some pictures! Come on stork....

hurry up and fly!

Have a creative day! 

Sanded Core'dinations: Metal Style Chocolate Gift Box

Hello everyone from Kathie McGuire. My project today uses a technique called Sanded Core'dinations from the 4/10 newsletter. The substrate for this project is a metal sheet rather than white core paper. I found these sheets at Add A Little Dazzle and thought they'd look good on a box. The box is a Stampin' Up! die and four of the Hershey's nuggets candies fit perfectly in it. I used some silver cardstock to wrap around the candies and ran them through a Cuttlebug folder beforehand.The Fleur-de-lis is a Jolee's embellishment I bought at a craft store. After I die cut the box and put it together, I measured the areas where I wanted to add the bits of metals and simply cut the metal with scissors. So easy to do. I attached the metal to the box with Fabric Glue--it works beautifully! Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look at another one of my chocolate gift box projects! Kathie

Sanded C'Ordinations

Hi Friends! Kathie McGuire here on the first stamping Saturday of the month!!! Are you stamping today? If not, I hope my little book project will inspire you to get out your sanding blocks and join me.

You're seeing the front cover of a mini-book project. To add interest, I used the Sanded C'Ordinations technique from the 4/10 TJ Newsletter on the die cut flowers. It's such a great way to add another dimension to an otherwise single color die cut! And it's fast and easy too!

This book has lots of little pages which hold tags. You can see some of the tags peeking out above the top edge of the book along with the many fibers that I added.

I hope you'll try Sanded C'Ordinations soon and thanks for stopping by today!

Faux Felt + Sanded Core'dinations by Shelly

Happy Friday everyone! Today's card combines two different techniques - Sanded Core'dinations from the current issue, and Faux Felt from the Feb/Mar '09 issue. I've used a fantastic image from Twisted Papers that I think is perfect for a sweet Mother's Day card. It's all tied up with a piece of vintage bias tape that I stamped with a sentiment by EK Success. I accented the card with a strip of text that I'd punched some flowers out of - I thought it made a really different and interesting embellishment!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
