Feature Me Friday at The Kraft Outlet!

10 Oct Feature Me Friday at The Kraft Outlet!

Hello Kraft Outlet friends!  For today’s Designer’s Feature, I am showcasing a couple projects I created using some yummy Kraft cardstock, fun embellishments and an emboss & ink technique.  The card is a remake of a card first shared at the Kraft Journal Challenge Blog for challenge #73 – Emboss It – back in May 2012!  I created this gift set for a co-worker that is moving out of state and included a gift card inside the pillow box!

For the card, I began with a base of Buff Ivory Card Stock onto which I adhered a piece of embossed and inked Brown Kraft Card Stock.  Next, I created a sweet nosegay consisting of two Antique Stick Pins, a bow made out of Rose Beige Hand-Stained Bias Tape and some Natural Hemp Cording.  I adhered a satin bloom to the top of the bow.  The frame was backed with a piece of Vintage Dictionary Pages and then the letter ‘B’ was adhered.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto a label die cut from another piece of  Buff Ivory Card Stock and then adhered two Bubblegum Sequins.

For the gift card box, I embossed and inked a Small Kraft Pillow Box.  I then added a bow using more  Rose Beige Hand-Stained Bias Tape and two Antique Stick Pins.  I adhered a paper bloom and a couple of glittered chipboard leaves.  To finish off the sweet box, I stamped a sentiment from the Life is a Special Occasion stamp set onto a Scalloped Grungy Prim Tag and then tied it around the nosegay on the box.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hugs – xoxo
