Back to Basics Workshop - Technique featuring Core'dinations Cardstock

We'd like to invite you to our second Back to Basics Workshop, this Saturday, April 2 from 10am to 12pm. This workshop is the second in a series of Back to Basics Workshops. Each workshop will feature either a tool or technique. During this second workshop, we are featuring our huge collection of Core'dinations Cardstock & all the techniques for altering it for use in your projects. Everyone will get a chance to play with the Core'dinations Cardstock during this drop in workshop. Whether you've never used our CC papers or have a huge collection of  your own at home, we'd love to have you join us for the workshop. Our purpose for these workshops is to encourage you to pull out some of those tools & supplies that you were so excited about when you purchased them, but haven't had the time to explore on your own. We'll show you some fun projects to make with our product that we're sure you'll want to run home and recreate! Of course, we'll have the papers available for purchase, in case you don't have them at home. If you're planning on attending or have any questions, please call the store at 503.259.9130 or RSVP on our Facebook Event Page.
THANKS!

In preparation for the workshop, we've been searching the internet for ideas to share with you. During our search, we've come up with some great projects featuring Core'dinations Cardstock. So if you can't make it to the workshop or do attend and want more information on your tool once you get it home, we thought we'd give you some links to websites and videos from around the web featuring the Core'dinations Cardstock.
