Heidi Swapp Paired with Core'dinations

This week Heidi Swapp and Core'dinations team up for an amazing week together. Be sure to check out the Core blog and the Heidi Swapp FaceBook page for more great ideas and a chance to win the full Mixed Company collection.

I just LOVE the colored, embossed letters that I made to go with this layout!! It's dead easy to do too! First, cut out the letters you want to use (I used my Silhouette). Then rub Distress on on your embossing folder, run the folder through the Big Shot (or other die cut machine) and voila! I would advise that you wait a short bit before removing the letters as they do "warp" a bit when wet from the stain.

A closer peek at that colored embossing! Doesn't the blue of the patterned paper embossed into the pink letters perfectly compliment the hot pink used in the background strip across the top? Perfect!

And another close up

Thanks for swinging by and I hope you give that technique a try. It's super easy yet the effect is remarkable!

Love the color combinations, but my favorite element is the title! What a cool technique! I will surely lift this and try it on a future project.
