Christmas Card Club - Include some Kraft

I was happy to see that Clare from  http://mypurrfectworldccc.blogspot.ca/   chose this great Kraft theme as I love incorporating Kraft elements with my cards.

I used a Kraft corrugated card base and kraft envelope from Michaels. They are not so good for making it through the post office slot, so are best suited to cards that can be hand delivered.

I used some Bo Bunny papers I bought before Christmas...I think it is the first time I used this pad. I put a little Star Dust stickles  on the snowflake pattern of the mitts and some Frosted Lace Stickles on the cuffs.  I chose to colour them in a sort of kraft looking colour so I felt they needed a little pick me up!


The mitts and the sentiment are matted on a sort of dark Kraft coloured paper from a self adhesived DCWV mat stack from Joanne's.  I have a confession though...every time I use this stack I forget that they are self adhesived and I use self stick tape to attach them!!! ahahaha Even the pale aqua framing the sentiment is self adhesived. I guess they can really save time if you use them as intended!

Recipe:
Card base and envelope - Kraft corrugated card and kraft envelope from my stash (Recollections brand from Michaels)
DP - Bo Bunny - Snow Day
Card Stock - DCWV self adhesived
Image Stamps - unknown (from a stamp day at my local scrapbook store)
Sentiment Stamp - from my stash (Recollections brand, name unknown)
Bling - from my stash (Dollarama)

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

1. Christmas Card Club - Include Kraft
2. CHNC Extra - Anything Goes
3. Stamping For Pleasure Rudolph Days - must be Christmas
4. Marks Finest Papers Christmas Card Challenge - must be Christmas
5. Pixies Crafty Workshop - Must use snippets. At first I didn't think I could submit this one and then realized that the sentiment circle came from my tupperware tub of card weight card stock. I am a bit OCD and like the white colours to match, so always save the wee bits for sentiments...they might be a heavy weight thickness...but they match!.

    I do love a bit of corrugated on cards, it gives so much texture and the blues work really well with it.

    A beautiful card. I don't choose to use Kraft much but I did use it for my own card this month. It actually goes really well with the pale blue on yours. I also nearly threw my frosted lace stickles away as they don't seem to 'do' much, but I can see the effect quite clearly on your mitten cuffs, so perhaps I'd better put it back on the rack!
    Happy Rudolf Day. Kate x

    So funny Maureen about the self-adhesive mats - I have done the same thing. Felt like an idiot but glad to hear I am not the only one...lol I really love this card. The layers are wonderful and the simple, soft colors with the stickles are the perfect fit for this designer packet. I love it...joann sassy raggedy

    Me again Maureen, I just read one of your comments with a wry smile.

    I dabbled weather or not to publish it (I meant the other one, not yours) and in the end I did, their words and name attached to it not mine at the end of the day !

    Wonderful card. I'm really likin' that combo of Blue & kraft too! Love the way you did the papers in the layout, and your mittens are just cozy & warm looking. Laughed about your adhesive story...sounds like what I'd do! TFS a beautiful card, beautifully done. Enjoy your trip for the bday, and BE SAFE! Hugs

    Fabulous Maureen - like others I love the Kraft and blue together. So funny about the self adhesive papers, we don't generally have those over here and just as well 'cos I'd be with you on sticking them down :)

    As Sarn says, bring those cute little mittens to the Playground - we'll fight you for them :))

    Hugs, Di xx
