Hampton Art and Core'dinations Blog Hop!


If you are looking for the IBS Inspiration Challenge, please scroll down!


Happy Valentine's Day! Welcome to Day Four of the the Hampton Art and Core'dinations Blog Hop! Take some time to visit each blog and see the many projects and effects that you can create through stamping, embossing, and sanding on Core'dinations papers with Hampton Art stamps!

Here is my card! I love working with Core'dinations paper! I can layer and have pattern but I don't need to use printed paper! How cool is that?!


My favorite technique is embossing the paper with a folder, then sanding the surface of the paper. I used Core'dinations Gemstones Pearlescent Finish paper (the black and red) for the front of my card. When you sand this, the paper core is a matte finish! So yummy next to the pearlescent paper!


I stamped my images onto Core Essentials Neutrals Cardstock. I love the texture! The Hampton Art stamp set that I used is called Wedding (#SC173).


 I created a little boutonniere with ribbon and flowers.


Here is the inside. I stamped more images from the Wedding stamp set. This is a great card for a new couple or for an anniversary card...for an old couple! {giggle}

What blog hop would be complete without a giveaway!? Like us on Facebook (don’t forget KI Memories), and leave a little comment on the designer’s blog posts each day (comment registration closes Sunday, February 17th)! We will randomly choose one winner of a super fun mystery prize that will be announced Monday, February 18th.
