NEW ARRIVALS

NEW ARRIVALS AT PAPER TRAILS


Each of the 40 ColorCore Cardstock families is available in 12x12 assorted packs.
Each pack contains five sheets of the four colors in the family.
For example, the Classy Reds assorted packs have five sheets each of Valentine, Cardinal, Poinsetta and Scarlet.

PREMIUM, HEAVY WEIGHT, 80LB, CANVAS TEXTURED CARDSTOCK
Every sheet of acid/ligin free cardstock has a core color which "coredinates" with the surface color.
The four swatches in each color family have a tab underneath labeled "Core Color". This tab represents the interior color of the sheet. You can choose to keep that core color hidden or add your own creative touch by sanding, tearing or antiquing.
SANDING
Sanding removes the surface color on only the raised portions othe texture.
For a rougher, worn look use a lower grit sandpaper - 100 grit or less. Remember, the lower the number the rougher the sand paper.
For a more subtle, blended look, use a higher grit sandpaper, such as a 180 or 220 grit. Sanding the non-textured side of the cardstock with a higher grit will create a very blended, subtle look.
TEARING
Tearing allows you to outline the surface color with the Core'dinating Core.
For a wider torn section, pinch the paper between the thumb and forefinger of each hand where you want the tear to begin. As the paper begins to tear, do not reposition your fingers. Use the direction of pull to guide the torn edge.
For a narrower tear line, pinch the paper between the thumb and forefinger of each hand where you want the tear to begin. Tear in increments of one inch and then reposition your fingers to follow the torn edge.
ANTIQUING
Antiquing combines both tearing and sanding with crumpling to add another level of dimension.
Depending on the desired outcome, you can lightly crumple specific areas of the sheet or crumple the entire sheet into a ball. Flatten the sheet as desired, and sand the area you want to antique. For a more subtle look, flatten the sheet as much as possible prior to sanding.
You can also use more advanced level techniques such as spritzing and heat flattening. Lightly spritzing the sheet with water prior to crumpling, then ironing on a low heat setting, will allow the sheet to flatten more.
Crumpling and sanding the un-textured side of the cardstock will also create a more subtle look.

Chipboard Book "It's All About Me"

Chipboard Castle

Before

Sorry these photos do not do this project justice. When I get a moment I going to retake the photos and replace them. Bare Elements Chipboard Castle was a lot of fun to create. Although time consuming I loved this project when it was completed.
Bare Elements Chipboard Castle is a bare white accordian style book for you to decorate.
I rate this product from intermediate to an advanced crafter although a beginner could do complete it without any problems.
