Thank You-Practical Scrappers-Kraft

Hello Krafters!

Today over at Practical Scrapper it is all about that Kraft paper!! Kraft paper is one of my favorite papers to use! My favorite brand is Paper Trey Ink followed by Stampin’ Up (crumb cake). I like to print patterns on it, emboss it and grunge it up! It can take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’!

This project is pretty straight forward. I used the Teresa Collins Black and White cartridge for the pattern. The embossing was done with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Both were layered on top of black cardstock. On a scrap piece of Kraft cardstock, I used a Cherry Lynn dies for the flourish. 

I added a few more touches to finish off the card, and that was it!

Don’t forget to go over to Practical Scrappers to show the DT some love! Thank you so much for stopping by, Krafthead~

Your Time of Retirement~

Hello Krafters!

It’s Krafthead here to share another quick project. I have to admit, I struggle with masculine cards. However, the Bo Bunny Timepiece Collection gives me great inspiration! I LOVE this collection. My FIL recently retired and I felt this was the perfect paper for the occasion.

The card base is Paper Trey Ink Kraft cardstock. On the cardstock, I used the stamp from the Timepiece Collection even though there was a design already on the paper. I used the same stamped image and cut it out using the labels 18 Nestabilities Die. To change the color of the die cut piece, I used my bronze homemade glimmer mist.  I also stamped on an extra piece of Kraft cardstock.

I distressed the edges of the pattern paper and Kraft cardstock with the Zutter Distress-it-All and then inked it with Walnut stain. I added white and brown brads to the corners, timepiece and die cut piece. For a little texture, I wrapped some tan embossing floss. To finish the front, I did some faux stitching around the base and middle.

For interest in the inside, I stamped the image in two corners as I did on the outside.  I cut my sentiment area with the labels 18 die. I used a piece of scrap pattern paper as well. That’s all folks J

Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
