A "Core"dinated Birthday!

Hi folks!  You know there's nothing better than a Summer Birthday party!  The possibilities are endless when the weather is so great!  Combine that with the durable powers of Core'dinations cardstock for your decorations and it's a smash hit!  Core'dinations cardstock can really stand up to tough love which is why it's great to work with.  




 One of the things I love most is running it through an embossing folder.  I also like to mix up the styles of embossed images.



Well, my daughter's 5th Birthday is today and I can't believe she's reached this amazing milestone and is also about to enter Kindergarten!  I decided that with her and I being quite the crafty pair, that I should make a banner for her party.


I used Core'dinations glittered Core Couture cardstock, as well as their Vintage Collection, Flower Power cardstock, for all the letters in the banner. 


 I then used Paper Trunk's Jellybean papers to create the tropical flowers, and epoxy shapes using an Epiphany Crafts Studio Tool.




I just love how Core'dinations glitter cardstock sparkles, it's perfect for my little girl!


Happy Birthday to all our Summer babes and a high five to all the new kindergartner's!!  Now to think up my first Teacher Appreciation gift!  I bet I'll be using Core'dinations and Paper Trunk ;)
