SHOPPING OUR STASH #364 - Get Krafty


Good morning and welcome crafty peeps!
Or should I say Krafty peeps, because that
is our new challenge at
SHOPPING OUR STASH: use kraft paper on your projects!

 I finally used this negative die cut that had been sitting on my
desk for a few months. I thought it would make a cool 
Christmas card:


and the inside:

I matted it onto a scrap of black card stock. Some designer paper, a sentiment
sticker and a tiny red rhinestone finishes it off.

Now it's your turn! Just create something using Kraft paper and
link it up at SHOPPING OUR STASH! We'd love to see
what you come up with. Be sure to visit my teammies and
check out what they created. 
Thanks for visiting!

  4. It does make a great Christmas card! Isn't it great when those stashed bits end up being useful? I like the wee red nose you've given him too. This card has such a lovely country/rustic feel to it. Thank you for joining in with us at The Paper Players this week.

  5. You are soooooooooooo right!!
    It makes a most excellent Christmas card.
    The black and kraft work so well together and that is a SUPER way to use the negative piece of the die cut!
    I am going to have to look for one of those dies!

  8. Love it! I started feeling all 80's, you know, wanting to go to some lodge and just sit in front of the fireplace drinking wine that is far to expensive and cuddling with my hubby! See, I bet you didn't know your work would have that type of connotative impact on anyone, now did you? Beautifully done!
    HUGZ!

  10. Love the way you used the black and kraft cardstock, the negative image of this gorgeous deer just pops beautifully on the kraft panel. The addition of the little red nose is just the cutest finishing touch on this very elegant card.
    Oh, and the inside looks amazing too.
    Beautifully done.

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
