HOW LONG HAVE I WAITED?

Hi Everyone

I hope your day has been good.

We have still had road closures today because of the floods .. .. but thankfully it is starting to improve now and the roads are slowly getting back to normal.

I am here with yet another Christmas card and it is using something I feel like I have been looking for for years .. .. downloadable kraft card with patterns on!!!  Woo hoo!!!  Thank you very much Liz xx

So here is my first play with the download that was released today:




This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Have An Ice Christmas"
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat "Christmas Kraft Organics"
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Swiss Dots
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Wooden Snowflake Embossed with White and Silver Embossing Powder
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Glamour Dust

The Kraft card can be printed in 7 different shades .. .. each with 17 different patterns .. ..can't be bad!!  Will have to try the others out too!! I am so pleased there are some patterns included on the download that will work all year and not just at Christmas time .. .. because I do love kraft card .. ..  but I do love the snowflakes very much!!  :-)

I have followed the sketch from the Sketch N Stash Challenge and am entering this into the challenge this fortnight.   Part of the challenge is to say what old and new stash you have used.  Well the new is my backing paper download and the old is the cute little penguin image. He has been lurking on my computer, and flying off my printer, for a few years now .. ..  bless him!!!  LOL!!

If you fancy playing along this is the lovely sketch.



Hope you all have a lovely evening and thank you for calling by and all your lovely comments.

Love

  36. I love that card! Those penguins are my favourites and I love the kraft patterns. I too have been searching for Kraft patterns and I found (and bought of course!) these the other day that you might like too - http://www.jessicasprague.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tabs.tpl&product_id=2109&category_id=10&keyword=kraft&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=295

  37. Man oh man I am loving these papers and the color!! Your little guy is so cute and I love how you kept him "light" in the coloring department. Makes him look like a completely different stamp than your brightly colored one. Very cool card!
