I ordered a pack of kraft card from Paper Mill Direct. When it arrived I was rather taken aback by the caramel-ness of it, but as they call it kraft I'll call it kraft too!
Here are a couple of cards using it!
Here I used the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch!
The frame was a bit of an experiment with my new Silhouette machine and this is one of the downloads I bought with my $10 voucher. I mounted it on another piece of kraft card which I then proceeded to deepen the colour with a few shades of Distress ink. I stamped a few splats and a butterfly with some Paper Artsy stamps before clear embossing the whole panel.
The sentiment is computer generated and mounted on reduced size Spellbinders tags.
It is also for Addicted to CAS's challenge of Get Well.

I had thought it might do for Dynamic Duos challenge of Kraft and Black, but with the addition of the Distress Inks, I'm not sure if it would still qualify so I made another card using just kraft and black..
This one follows the sketch from Mojo Monday. The word and the tree were cut from a piece of scrap carton, which is a really close match to the Paper Mill card. The stamping is from Stampin' Up builder wheel stamp.
Tomorrow we have the first day of window replacement taking place. What joy!
Congrats with the new machine -

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful Chrissie - I particularly like the inky background silhouette one. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely fabric and felt cards here Chrissie! I LOVE that gorgeous retro fabric you used for your folded flower and it was a great idea to use a strip of it as a background too. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteOoh, kraft and black Christmas! I love it, Chrissie! :-)

I think they are super. I really like the panel on the get well card - so rich and warm! Love the Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteI have a pack of kraft card that is quite dark too - but it's nice to ring the changes a bit!
A fabulous card design Chrissie. Love the effect of the clear embossing on the inked panel - the flowers really "pop".
