I can't believe that Indpendence Day is just around the corner!! Crazy... Every year we go to see fireworks for some sort or another, what would the 4th be without fireworks?! Last year we stayed local and went to both the GenWorth fireworks and saw some more after the Squirrel's game at The Diamond. And, I always take a million firework pictures. Here's just a sampling on some amazing Kraft Core!!
Per the other layouts you've seen using the Core'dinations Seasonal Impressions here on the blog, I selectively sanded the words/phrases that corresponded with my theme. I also happen to have the Tim Holtz embossing folder that matches this pre-embossed cardstock and was able to fussy cut the 4 in a slightly bigger size.
This whole layout was created using all Kraft Core products! I love the vintage feel it gives to the layout.
Another fun technique that is unique to Core'dinations cardstock is the ability to run it through your label maker for some fun banners. By sanding the raised print, revealing the colored core underneath, you can really see the letters!
Do you have plans for the holiday yet? We are winging it - the running trend of the summer apparently... I just can't get ahead of things and schedule... There's too much. I'm not complaining, we are very fortunate! But the day to days of our schedule, like when the kids will swim and go to Mathnasium are determined on the fly.
Oh the Coredinations gives it such a rich look - nicely scrapped.
