Getting Krafty

My turn to dare this week and I thought that I would choose a product that is, as Timmy Trendy would say 'Bang on Trend' My dare this week is....

Using Kraft cardstock :) Either as a card base or somewhere on the card - if you don't have any you could use some card board such as corrugated or even a brown kraft envelope...

Kraft cardstock is currently one of my favourite products, a love that I know is shared with some of the other Daring Cardmakers.

I made this;



I used;
Kraft cardstock
Bazzill cardstock (embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder)
Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly papers
Basic Grey Junebug paper
Sizzix circle die cutter
Stitched fabric ruffle
Prima flowers
Melissa Frances and a Doodlebug flower rub on
Bazzill brad
Ikea String
Papermania Eyelet and adhesive stones
Colorbox and Tsukineko ink pads

Bonfire night....

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...


We are off to fireworks later - have fun this evening :D

This week's dare was set by the lovely Keryn;

I love punches and use them on almost every card I make. This week I want you to join with me and make a card, any type, any theme but it needs to use your latest craft punch purchase. If you haven't bought any punches for a while or don't own any at all your latest craft purchase will be quite acceptable.

I had to check which was the most recent punch that I bought, was undecided between a note paper border punch and the whale of a punch butterfly. It turns out that the butterfly one was the most recent one that I purchased so this is the one that was used on my card;

I also used;
Cardstock - Bazzill
PP - Basic Grey
Pom pom - Bazzill
Ribbon - May arts
Rub on - Melissa Frances
Pearls - Basic Grey
