Birthday Cards made with Black Cardstock!

And nope, they aren't "Over the Hill" cards!

I used the Core'dinations Black Magic (Spellcaster) cardstock. This cardstock is really cool! On one side is the black and the other side is all different colors. What makes this so neat is that when you tear it, sand it, or emboss it (like I did) the core of the cardstock is the colored side. This is kind of hard to explain, so I will just show you!

My cards are 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder and because the card is larger than the folder, I had to run it through a couple of times. I just matched up the dots and then ran it back through. I really love how the green core shows up this way.

I then used a scrap and cut out my scalloped square with a Nestabilities die and topped it off with some prima flowers, a little bling, and a pretty iridescent ribbon.

And what I really love is when I open the card, the inside perfectly coordinates with the outside and I didn't have to glue an extra piece of cardstock inside. It is just one piece of cardstock!

Here is my purple one.
