Core Concepts



Welcome to Caardvarks! Ready for yet another card challenge? We took on this challenge in a big way! You've probably seen advertisements for Core'dinations Cardstock...it's fantastic, heavy-weight, specialty cardstock. The Core'dinations Group sent gobs of it to the Caardvarks Crew to play with and we couldn't stop ourselves! Who needs patterned paper when working with a color-core cardstock? We didn't. :) You can sand Core'dinations Cardstock, tear it, and antique it to reveal a hidden core color. Try it with your favorite embossing tool...you'll be amazed at the result. Visit Core'dinations for ideas and how-to videos.

Challenge: Create a *new* card using no patterned paper! Upload your entry to our Flickr Gallery for a chance to win a generous prize package from Core'dinations. Be sure to 'tag' your entry with "core". This prize package is a prize that you can sand, tear and antique to make your crafting projects truly unique! The winner will receive $55 worth of Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock! Prize includes an assorted Black Magic pack and an assorted Vintage Collection pack. Also included will be 4 different Super Assortment 4.5"x6.5" packs that have 2 sheets each of 160 colors.

We couldn't fit all of our Core'dinations creations into this post - the Caardvarks Crew put together an entire gallery full of Core'dinations Cardstock-only items...check it out here. We can't wait to see your stuff so be sure to join our Flickr Group and post your entry!

You guys have some great cards there. I wish there were instructions on a few things though, some of the techniques I saw, I am not sure how they were done.
