Core’dinations and Team KNK are joining forces this week to bring you freebies and giveaways!

Posted on by

I’ve been busy in my laboratory (a.k.a. craft studio) creating three more Halloween files for a Spooktacular week of giveaways! Core’dinations and Team KNK are teamed up to celebrate the coming holiday with you.

Freebies:

The Halloween files I created specifically for use with Core’dinations card stock available in AI, GSD, KNK, MTC, SVG, and WPC.

Giveaways:

Core’dinations – Black Magic card stock

Team KNK- $50 KNK USA gift certificate

Cuttin’ Up Designs – $20 gift certificate to my part of the store at VDBC

What you need to do:

Post a comment on Team KNK and post a comment to the Team KNK Halloween images on Core’dinations’ blog – that’s it. Pretty simple, eh? After the hectic week of Homecoming, I need simple!  We’ll match up those comments on Friday and post the winners next Monday!

So here is the first design of the week – the Grim Reaper – and his alter ego!

Sorry, the free file is no longer available.

And lit from behind with a spotlight:

Below are photos of the peeling process:

Start with the outer point of smaller pieces and peel toward the center or where it joins a larger section.

If your blade has penetrated far enough into the paper, the black layer will peel off easily.

Hold your paper piercing tool at a very low angle to the paper so you don’t pierce the colored layer, but slide just under the black layer.

The lettering I selected has lots of little nooks and crannies. I found it was much easier to peel from the outside to the middle on letters like H. For the letter E, I pulled right to left, and so on.

Although I hijacked Team KNK for today’s post, the next two will be on Tuesday and Thursday so my fellow designers can keep their posting schedules. Here is a sneak peek at tomorrow’s post using both cutting and sanding on the Core’dinations card stock:

Good luck to you on the Core’dinations, Team KNK, and Cuttin’ Up Designs Halloween Giveaways!

About Cuttin' with KNK (Michele)

I am the proud mother of 2 grown children, waiting for grandchildren some day. I've been married to my best friend since 1988. I have been crafting since I was a girl - I can't even remember a time when I wasn't creating something, and I've tried nearly everything. I discovered KNK in 2009 and have loved the company and its products ever since. The machines are so versatile and enhance my own creativity. It is rare that I make something without my KNKs.

  58. I love the paper and get mine at JoAnn’s. It really is amazing paper.
    Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to be creative in an outside the box way.
    I love Halloween and you’ve given me yet another way to create my “mean” Halloween, Michele.

  64. Great joint posting! I love the detail you have created – wonderfully spooky! Thanks for sharing with us.

  67. WOW Michelle, this design is awesome. Thanks for sharing 🙂 I like this new technique, gotta try it when I get the chance.

  68. Oh my! That’s a lot of work but such a great use of the black magic paper. I have lots of it and have never thought to do that.

  70. I don’t think I have ever seen this paper before but I really do love what they are doing with it. Not only I can see a card, but I can see it placed on on a glass block lighting it from behind. I think that would be pretty too and it shouldn’t get too warm….we always must be concious of safety….smile.
    Thanks for bring this to us. I look forward to seeing other graphics used.

  72. I know I said this before, but now I “get” the product.
    Thanks for the detailed pics and instructions.

  79. Great job ladies! Thanks for the file. Loved seeing the extra photos of the peeling process and hints.

  81. What a BLAST! This week was a lot of fun, and I am in the mood for October to begin! I started pulling out my Halloween decorations and putting my Core’dinations projects in the windows. I found a great location in my lighted china hutch for two of the creations. I can’t wait til Monday, when we kick off October and learn who the winners are!!!!!! Good luck to all!

  84. I just love this technique. It offers so many possibilities. I just can’t find the paper anywhere local. Thanks for sharing. Melisa
