{This was a very popular giveaway! I just saw that they sell Core’Dinations paper at Roberts now, so you can get all you want and use your 40% off coupon!
The winner of the Core’Dinations cardstock giveaway is…Jamie! She said, “This paper is amazing! I can’t choose a favorite – Think of the fun things I could do with all these pretty colors!”
Email your address to me at kelsey[at]vanillajoy[dot]com to claim your prize.}
Okay, folks. I am so excited for today’s giveaway! Today, you will all have the chance to win enough cardstock to last you nearly a lifetime, or at least a year. I am so excited to introduce today’s giveaway for high quality, beautiful, ColorCore cardstock – the one thing you can never scrapbook without!
TODAY’S PRIZE
Today’s prize is $189 in specially finished textured ColorCore cardstock from Core’Dinations! That’s 400 sheets of thick, textured, colorful cardstock!
Pictured above are all the different collections included in the giveaway – you’ll have to click on the logos to see the colors and finishes in each package – they’re fabulous!
REVIEW
Oh, where to begin. I love cardstock, especially textured cardstock in hundreds of different colors. Core’Dinations is kind of like cardstock heaven – they have sooo many different kinds and colors, it’s unreal!
Core’Dinations ColorCore cardstock is special because it’s a sandable cardstock that has a colored core rather than a plain white core. The paper is very heavy and sturdy, with a beautiful texture, and endless possibilities. Because of the colored core, you can sand, tear, or antique the paper to get the surface and the core color incorporated into your project.
Sanding the cardstock removes the surface color only on the textured part, so you get an aged, two tone look. Tearing lets you outline the top color with the core color, and antiquing combines both tearing and sanding with crinkling to give you a three-dimensional quality. So this cardstock is much more than normal paper!
For example, the surface of every sheet in the Black Magic collection is black. But underneath is a different color that you can sand or tear to reveal. I can’t to see what embossing does to this paper – I think it’s going to be amazing! Similarly, The Chocolate Box collection looks like a bunch of different shades of brown, but underneath is a beautiful color waiting to be exposed!
All of the Core’Dinations paper packs are like this. They each have their own special finish and look that incorporates two different colors to give you more variety and fun in your paper crafting.
I can’t wait to show you all what I’ve been up to with this paper. I think it’s something you’re going to want to have for yourself…Thanks Core’Dinations!

Thanks for introducing us to this fabulous line of papers. I had not heard of them before. Now, to choose a favorite, that was tough, but I would have to say that my very favorite is the Classic Sunshine collection. I love all the bright colors and I am really itching for spring to arrive. Up here, all it has been doing is raining, raining, raining, and sometimes snowing in between. :-}
I like the chocolate box.

I do have 2 packs of the Coredinations cs already and absolutely love it. But these collections were awesome. Let’s see, what do I like. . . Reminisce, Flower Power. . . I could go on and on. They are beautiful. Love the way you can distress designs into the cs. So have to say that I just love it all.
I just checked out the Coredinations site! I hadn’t heard of it before, but it has any color you could ever want or need for scrapbooking or card making-which I love to do! I am always needing the perfect color to match a decorative sheet! And I can be quite messy-so I love the dust buddy! I will have to try that out! Great Giveaway!
