Everyone at Paper Trunk is super excited to bring you a month filled with inspiration, ideas AND prizes!
Paper Trunk has partnered with the fabulous company, Core'dinations!
I cannot say enough about what an awesome product Core'dinations has. As if getting a wonderful product is not enough, they have been an amazing company to partner with.
Core cardstock is such a high quality, heavy weight cardstock that is so easy to work with. There are so many creative ideas for working with their cardstock, and the possibilities are endless. I will show you a few ways that I enjoyed working with the cardstock, and the Paper Trunk design team will flood you with creative ideas combining Paper Trunk and Core. I encourage you to also check out THIS LINK which has some really great technique videos on using Core'dinations cardstock.
In the example below, I combined Paper Trunk, Maybe Baby with 2 different colors of Core cardstock. I love the look of corrugated paper, so I used my paper crimper on the pink cardstock. After running the cardstock through the crimper, I used the Core'dinations sander to bring out the inner color. With the grey cardstock, I tore the paper to expose the inner color. I love working with their cardstock!
Another great use for the cardstock is using an embossing machine. Core'dinations cardstock just makes it so easy to create great projects and cards. I ran my cardstock through the embosser, and used my Core sander to bring out the inner color, and expose the words in this Happy Birthday card. I also embossed and sanded the balloons on this card.
Keep your eyes on the Paper Trunk blog, the Core'dinations blog and the Core'dinations facebook page. There will be plenty of inspiration, not to mention, PRIZES!!!!!
