Especially for a Kraft card loving pal

I have a blog buddy who 'says is as it is' - and she thinks that Kraft card is like wrapping paper or those old fashioned paper bags from our youth :) Good point, but I made this the other day - just to make her teeth itch, evil little monkey that I am:

A couple of people noticed the little round dots in all colours of the rainbow lying on my desk on WOYWW, left over after the holes had been punched in the SU card swatch I'd been making. Yup, they were just sitting waiting for inspiration to come calling.

I used:

- 6" x 6" square Kraft card

- a snippet of SU's 'Wild Wasabi' card stock, die cut twice with Marianne Creatables die number LR0120

- cream snippets die cut with Joy! 6002/024 daisies die. I left each flower in the die after cutting it and rubbed it over with a smidgen of Memento 'Toffee Crunch' ink using a finger dauber before removing it and then did the 'rubbing in the centre with a flower shaper' trick just to raise the petals a bit

- a selection of those little coloured circles - still lots left to ponder on :)

- my current favourite SU stamp from the 'Four Frames' set, stamped with 'Wild Wasabi' and the sentiment itself is from LOTV's 'Small General Greetings' set - and of course I used the matching SU punch

As usual, the SU paper and ink are a much better match in real life than the photo seems to infer :(

Kathleen, this one is just for you today! Snigger :)

Quick make with Kraft card

Last Summer I got a bit stung in a shop in Spain when I bought some 45mm wide ribbon. The last 8" of it was sellotaped together - something that I think Kate (who lives in Spain) says has happened to her in Spain too. Bit naughty - what if it had been for something that needed a specific length of unjoined ribbon? Being a squirrel I still kept the little piece and yesterday rustled up a real quickie using it -  as a change from stamping and cataloguing stamps - which seem to be breeding on the quiet!

The mustard colour of the flower is a perfect match to the leaves on the ribbon in real life BTW.

I used:

- 6" x 6" square Kraft card stock

- length of patterned ribbon, gathered in the centre

- ready made flower embellishment from stash

- sentiment by Hero Arts from the 'Live Life' set, stamped using a Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad which was already out being used for the marathon stamping exercise

- A couple of topaz coloured gems to 'dot' the i and the j on the sentiment

Done!
