Today we have a very fun layout from Design Team Member Char Dobson featuring some Paper Trunk goodies and Core’dinations Chocolate Box cardstock.

How cool is that Scoring in the corners?!??!!?!?  If you want to see some more ideas on Scoring, check out our Videos here. And the touch of misting over the sanded hatching looks awesome, too.

Paper Trunk Tuesday

We are kicking off the last few days of August with Paper Trunk projects.

We have had so much fun working with them this month!!! Check out their blog for some more inspiration and DON’T FORGET!!!

YOU HAVE UNTIL TONIGHT FOR OUR COLOUR CHALLENGE FOR AUGUST!

Today we have a layout from  Design Team Member Lydia Jackson. Lydia shares some GREAT tips with this layout using Paper Trunk papers and some BRAND NEW Tim Holtz Kraft-Core.

With the Kraft-Core, the kraft IS the Core! It’s so cool! So, one tip that Lydia shares is that you are going to want to sand your Tim Holtz  Kraft-Core first before you print on it with your computer.  This will allow the cardstock to absorb the ink faster.

AND how fun is that sand castle out of the Tim Holtz Kraft-Core?!??!?!?!  Such a great layout. Lydia really shows off how you can use the blues and greens in this Paper Trunk line.

OH OH OH. And did you see those TAGS???  YES, we have tag! They are part of our Cardmaker Series and come with these gorgeous silver grommets.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Today we have a gorgeous layout from Design Team Member Andrea Amu featuring some mixing and matching of our Core Impressions lines.  That is one of the coolest things about our cardstock. You can mix and match it making endless combinations!

For example: Andrea used some Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions (dot) with some Jenni Bowlin Brights Core Impression (butterflies).

Sand (of course!) and add some of your favorite embellishments and Voila!

You have a gorgeous layout like this:

And check out this gorgeous work with the Cricut using the Core Essentials:

Back to School With Char Dobson

Today Design Team Member Char Dobson has the CUTEST project that is perfect for back to school using  Core’dinations Vintage Cardstock and the Cricut Wrap it Up cartridge. See that cute little apple on the side of the container? Char used her Helmar 3D Zapdots to make it “pop”.

Kim used some fabulous Jenni Bowlin mini Calendar sheets.

These are SO perfect for cards!!! If you haven’t seen them you must, you must, you must!

Just gorgeous….

Summer Lovin’ Tuesday Tip

We are Summer Lovin’ here at Core.

Soaking up these last few weeks of summer is always such a great time of year.

Design Team Member Leica Forrest created this layout to celebrate summer for us and her tip is how to make this fun grass.

It’s super easy! Cut a strip of paper, snip pieces with your scissor but make sure you don’t go all the way to the bottom

of the paper. When you are done, curl with a pencil or a paintbrush if you want it a tighter curl.

VOILA! You have grass. It mimics the photo perfectly.

Leica used a great mix of Core’dinations on this layout: Basic Grey Core Impressions, Core Essentials, Vintage and Stacy Julian Core Impressions.

Cheery Lynn..ONE more Day!

So the blog has not been cooperating with me this weekend.

I spend most of Saturday morning copying and pasting and reposting

but nothing worked.

So we have ONE MORE CHEERY LYNN project for you! You may have seen this on

Facebook over the weekend but that is okay. It is too cute not to share with you today.

And what a perfect way to announce the random winner of our give-a-way from last week………….

I think it looks more antique then grungy. I like it. I want to try. Now i know what to use a white/off white Core’dinations paper for.

Congrats!!! Email ellen_sosnoski@coredinations.com your address information.

Now let’s see this layout…..

Design Team Member Melissa Oliveira created this super cute layout using the French Scallped Flair nesting dies. She used the smallest size and then cut it to create the fun green border along the photo. BRILLIANT! And of course that fun banner.

AND she used our August Colour Challenge as her colour inspiration.

And check out this cuuuuuuutie of a layout!
