Welcome to our First Ever 12 Days of Techniques. We are excited to share with you some of our favorite techniques using our unique color core cardstock. Each day a Design Team member is going to share a project featuring a technique with Core’dinationscardstock. We have TWELVE unique and amazing days lined up for you leading right into Christmas Eve Day.
In case you are just joining us today here is what we covered so far:
Day One: Sanding
Day Two: Tearing
Day Three: Embossing
Day Four: Debossing
Day Five: Distressing
Day Six: Scoring
Each day we will be giving away a great selection of Core’dinations ! Each prize will also receive a Dust Buddy and our NEW Sand It Gadget! And today we have one of our favorite sponsors and they have a prize for you in addition to the Core’dinations prize pack!
And today we have a special treat from……
AGAIN????? Yeppers! We have some Awesome Chipboard from Tim Holtz to share today. We have some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Chipboard: Iconic Plain, Elements Plain, Basics Plain, Alphas Plain. Here is a sample:
Why chipboard you ask? Because today’s Technique is outlining. Outlining is a fun technique you can use on any project and it allows you to stretch your budget by being able to use your chipboard for more than one project. All you do is take chipboard, lay it underneath your cardstock, and Sand! Make sure you check out the example below AND make sure you check out the video. It has some great tips!
PLEASE make sure you head over to Tim’s Facebook Page and tell him how much you appreciate his support of the 12 Days of Techniques! I don’t know about you but I looooove my Tonic Tools. BUT first you need to watch the Distressing Video here leave us a comment!
Did you know that Core’dinations has a Facebook Page? Make sure you check us out here.
Todays projects come from design Team member Ellen Sosnoski. Instead of using bought chipboard, Ellen cut out an tree image from some left over chipboard, placed it underneath her cardstock base and the sanded the edges. Cardstock is Core Essentials.

Techniques are what I love about blogs. You are giving me some tips on techniques that I thought I already knew. I’m loving learning new things each day with this “12 Days of Techniques”. I would love to be a winner! Thanks for such a great opportunity.
Don’t forget we will not be shipping any prizes until the week of December 27th.
I have never seen this technique before and look forward to try it. Thanks for sharing so many great techniques. I have learned a lot and cannot wait to try them!
Beautiful tree card!
I love outlining with my Core’dinations paper! I cut out items with my Cricut twice to make sure they are thick enough. Glue the two die cuts together and sand away.
Awesome idea! I am loving these 12 days of techniques! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’ve never thought of making a design in the paper like that. What a great idea.
Wow! I never knew about outlining! Another Awesome technique! And I LOVE Tim Holtz! Between his 12 tags of Christmas and your 12 days of techniques, I am in scrapping heaven!
Great job Ellen! Love the outlining technique! Plus it has bling!!! You can never have too much bling.
Never would have thought of this; thanks:)
This is such a cool idea! I don’t think I would have thought of this on my own
It’s so great to learn new techniques!!! Thanks for another great giveaway!
Congrats!
And very pretty tree!
I love this technique and can imagine using a cutout of Tim Holtz tall pines to sand outline! That would be so cool!
Oooh, great idea! I just put some chipboard away so now I know where those are, I can do that the next time I make cards!
I love outlining! It really adds something to my projects! Thanks for another awesome chance to win! <3 Tim Holtz too!
Very nice! I have to remember this for when I’ve got extra pieces or a piece that’s colored and doesn’t match but I still want to use the shape. Love the grunge board from Tim, that’s the first set I bought and I’ve used almost all the pieces but kept the outlines in case I could use them for something else.
how interesting!!
outlining is awesome – there’s some really interesting shapes out there – like the Maya Road coasters – those are cool when outlined too….
thanks for doing the 12 techniques – it’s super!
I think this is a great technique. I’m definitely going to try this one because I like the idea of trying to stretch my scrapping budget. Thanks for the chance to win all these great prizes.
