This week is another fun week as the design teams from Xyron and Core'dinations join forces for an incredible week of creative projects and prizes. I decorated a brown paper bag and made a matching card. :)
I started with a brown paper bag. I measured and cut the Core'dinations Cosmo Cricket cardstock, then sanded the pieces to reveal the embossed design.
Then I ran the cardstock pieces through my Xyron 9" Creative Station for an even application of adhesive.
I fussy cut some DCWV patterned paper and played around with the pieces till I got a configuration I was happy with. Then I adhered the pieces.
Next, I gathered the scraps of patterned papers and cardstock and created a matching card.
Here is the card and some closeups!
Hope you will check out the rest of the design team projects from Xyron and Core'dinations. Lots of prizes to win! [click on the links!]
