That's right, this week Bella Blvd has teamed up with Core'dinations for a fun and inspirational week! Core'dinations cardstock is really fun to work with - it's got a different color core, so when you tear it or sand it the core color is revealed. I worked with Core'dinations' Tillie Dot Spotted cardstock, which has a fun polka dot textured pattern. When sanded, the polka dots jump out as the core is revealed.
Today, I have a layout featured on the Bella Blvd blog:
When I first saw the Core'dinations Tillie Dot Spotted cardstock I thought of cupcakes with sprinkles and this photo of my daughter. I used my Silhouette to die cut a 6" tall cupcake and wrapper, cutting the cupcake from pink Core'dinations Tillie Dot Spotted cardstock and the wrapper from the B side of the Happy Clouds paper from the Sunshine & Happiness collection. Although I used a die cutting machine, this would be very simple to re-create with scissors. I sanded the cupcake to reveal the polka dots and then adhered my wrapper to it. I decided to play up the chevron theme, adding a strip of chevron-print designer tape (adhered over white cardstock) and a chevron-print chipboard heart. I echoed the polka dot pattern in the giant cupcake by using white Core'dinations Tillie Dot Spotted cardstock as the layout base and added a scalloped polka dot chipboard border below my photo and behind the giant cupcake. Final touches include designer tape and a journaling sticker (more chevron!), a cupcake flag, and letters in coordinating colors (stolen from the word "beautiful" from the Baby Girl Chipboard Icons set).
