FCCB Challenge #91~Trimming With a Tag

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!

Happy Monday all!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I did a lot of shopping, wrapping and then out of town for a Christmas gathering on Sunday for my side of the family! It was a wonderful time but boy did the weekend fly by!


Yeah, it's Monday...that means another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday! This weeks challenge is~to use a tag somewhere on our project. Fantabulous Cricut is being sponsored by Core'dinations, Yeah !!  I love this cardstock!  Core’dinations ColorCore Cardstock has a core color which “core’dinates” with the surface color. Each sheet has a tab underneath labeled “core color” that represents the interior color of the sheet. You can choose to keep that color hidden or add your own creative touch by sanding, tearing or embossing.  

For my project I have tried to show the "core" of the cardstock by embossing and sanding on my card. I absolutely love the effect. It gives it a lot of dimension and character. Hope you like it:)


 
I made this 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 card using this wonderful Core'dinations paper. I cut the mat at 5" from the Elegant Edges cartridge and then embossed it with the polka dots folder. I then sanded it to give it some dimension. The tree's are cut at 3 1/2 from the Winter Woodland cartridge, embossed with the divine swirls folder and sanded. I just love the effect as it pops the other color through as you sand it. I added a cute sentiment from My Craft Spot~Winter Wonderland set along with a yummy satin bow. The little snowflakes are cut at 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 ~also embossed, sanded and attached to the bow.



I hope you come join us for this fun challenge and be sure to check out the rest of the DT and their wonderful projects!

I am entering this in the following challenges:
1.)  Frosted Designs ~Fabulous Friday~to use ribbon
2.) Little Scrap Pieces ~Winter Holiday

Be sure to stop back tomorrow as I will be posting my winner for the 3 Girl JAM ribbon and the Winter Frolic cartridge:)

Thanks for stopping by:)
