Core Crop Challenge #6 (free style emboss tutorial)

By

OK, This is the cutest recipe description that I have seen, lol!!!!  You can find this challenge @ I'm living for scraps

BROWN SUGAR - Page must contain some type of Core'dinations Kraft or Kraft Core (Tim Holtz collection) cardstock, OR you may use any color of Brown Core'dinations cardstock that you may have on hand!
SUGAR - Page must contain some type of Glitter, Embossing powder or Bling.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS - Page must contain Polka Dot embossing, (either Tillie or Jillian Spotted Core or Core cardstock that is embossed with a dotted folder).
CHOPPED WALNUTS - Page must contain some "distressing technique". 


Here is my layout...

First I did free hand dot embossing, once again using my stylus and a foam square.  Very easy to do.
Next I sanded the raised dots so the core can show through.
And here you go... A sweet little layout of the parentals. There is glitter on the butterfly pattern paper, on the pink strip and the cute little dragonfly.

Oh!  And the distressing is on the picture.  Never done that before but if you do, you have to commit and not worry about destroying the picture (hard for me to do but I did it, lol).


Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
