Core-dinations ColorCore Cardstock can be used as traditional cardstock, or you can add your own personal touch by sanding, tearing or antiquing it. ColorCore cardstock is made from the highest quality, acid and lignin free paper. each sheet has a true-dyed core which compliments the surface colour.

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.

Sanding

Sanding removes the surface colour on only the raised portions of the 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 colour 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.
