Core’dinations Thank You Card :: StampsandScrapbooks.com

Happy Cyber Monday! I know I'm a little crazy but I LOVE Mondays! Everyone goes back to what they're doing and I have the house all to myself to work all day. One of the benefits of doing a job you love is…well…that you love it! I don't think of this as work because Paper Crafting is my hobby AND my job and I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing on a Monday! It's also my most productive day so I always feel better at the end of the day. As someone who doesn't love shopping, I DO like online shopping so Cyber Monday is my favorite shopping day of the year! My Cyber Monday Special is HERE and it's good until midnight tonight. Trust me, you NEED DIY Gift Packaging Ideas For All Occasions and there's no better time to buy it than with today's discount so check it out! On to my card. I haven't done a Vintage Card or a Shabby Chic card in soooo long! Did you miss them??? I am going to do a survey some day to see how many of you like Vintage Cards and how many of you like Clean and Simple Cards! 🙂 This one is down and dirty – just how I like my cards to be.

The base card is Crumb Cake Cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded in the center. The next layer is a hair smaller and is Very Vanilla Cardstock. The edges were distressed using the Distressing Tool and then sponged with Crumb Cake Ink. The Primrose Petals Core'dinations Cardstock is 5 1/4" x 4" and was embossed using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and the Big Shot. The surface was sanded and then the edges were distressed using the Distress Tool. It was crumpled up and flattened out and then sponged with Crumb Cake Ink. It was adhered to the Very Vanilla Cardstock. The next layer is a piece of 3 1/4" x 4" piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock that was distressed and sponged in the same way. A piece of newsprint DSP was cut a smidge smaller and then distressed and crumpled up and then sponged with Crumb Cake Ink and adhered to the Crumb Cake Cardstock. A strip of Crumb Cake Cardstock was embossed using the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder and then layered onto the newsprint DSP. That whole piece was adhered to the Core'dinations layer using Sticky Strip. A Victoria Crochet Ribbon was run across the front of the card and secured behind the Very Vanilla card using Glue Dots. A Victoria Crochet Ribbon bow was attached using Glue Dots.

The greeting is from the From My Heart Stamp Set. It was stamped in Primrose Petals Ink (don't you LOVE how everything coordinates!) and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. It was hand cut using Paper Snips. The edges were sponged with Crumb Cake Ink and then it was attached to the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
