Spellbinders and Core’dinations Blog Swap!


Welcome to the Spellbinders and Core’dinations Blog Swap!

This week Spellbinders™ has teamed up with our Core’dinations Color Core Cardstock® to showcase the wonderful ways our products work together!

Sophistication, value and maximum versatility make Spellbinders™ die templates #1. Beautiful Details Inspiring Creativity…Spellbinders unique triple function die templates allow you to cut, emboss, and then stencil through the die template for unlimited possibilities. The Spellbinders Grand Calibur® machine and Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities™ die templates cut and emboss up to 11¾”, taking die cutting to grand proportions. Follow Spellbinders on Facebook , Twitter and the Spellbinders Blog!


Core’dinations ColorCore Cardstock is the only sandable cardstock with a color core. Sand it, tear it, emboss it and so much more! The Core Essentials line comes in over 160 colors with matching color families. Or maybe you are looking for something a bit more contrasting like the Black Magic or Chocolate Box collections. The sandable core will shine through the unique black and brown colors once it is sanded. Core’dinations has also teamed up with industry leading companies such as Pink Paislee, BasicGrey,
Graphic 45 and more to create new and unique pre-embossed cardstock that perfectly accents their patterned papers.

I'm delighted to share my project with you using both Spellbinders die templates and Core'dinations cardstock - a monochrome gift box and matching card.
As you can see I've sanded the surface to reveal the colour beneath.

I used the following die templates - Square Bracket Edge Box and Anemone Flower Topper.

But there is more!
Check out Core’dinations website for the new Cardmaker Series, Kraft-Core and various other wonderful cardstock lines.

Please visit all these lovely designers on the following days:
