Hi Everyone
I hope your week is going well - my time has been spent with Mum these last few days .. .. .. but today my brother has been with Mum so I have had a whole day at home to catch up on the dreaded housework .. .. with the reward at the end being .. .. spending whatever time was left in my little craft haven. Surprising how quickly you can fly through the housework when there is such a lovely treat at the end!
The ladies over at Little Red Wagon have set quite a simple challenge this week .. .. .."to use kraft cardstock" so no excuse for me not playing along as I love kraft card very, very much.
Pre Covid when I used to do tons of weddings every other couple wanted kraft based stationery .. .. so I have loads of kraft snippets to delve into and have created this (which used "just one" of the bits I have available LOL!!) .. .. ..
This used:
Kraft Card Snippet
Patterned Snippets: All that Glistens - First Edition Paper (Very Old)

Sentiment: Printed Ribbon
Spellbinders Heart Die

Random snowflake

Random snowflake
Don't ask me where that tiny little snowflake came from, it was lurking in my snowflake box as was the tiny little silver glitter card dot that is in the middle of it .. .. .. might have to investigate my snowflake dies because it is super cute.
To keep the finished card thin enough to go through that super narrow slot on the post office measuring gauge I actually cut a strip out of the heart and stitched it either side of the ribbon.

Off to link up now and then hopefully have little blog hopping session.
Catch you again soon.
Catch you again soon.

Beautiful colour tones in the papers and a gorgeous layout Jules,a wonderful Christmas card in non traditional colours
I'm also a fan of kraft and you've chosen some great papers to tone with it to make this beautiful Christmas card. The snowflake is a nice one - hope you can locate the punch. Hugs x
I love your card, Jules! What a great use of all those lovely kraft scraps! Thanks so much for joining use at Little Red Wagon Challenge this week!
Love this Jules - very stylish and original Christmas card xx
A lovely card Jules and congratulations on being featured at Little Red Wagon.

A fabulous patchwork card Jules and love your choice of papers.
What a great card. I agree with you about kraft card, but somehow I don't seem to use it that much. That is a neat way to keep down the bulk, I try my best to avoid the huge jump in postage costs if it goes over 5mm, and I love your stitching especially the perfect curve xx
I love the neutral tones of this super Christmas card. Great design too. xxx
