Stamped Kraft Masking Tape with Alyssa McGrew

Today, we have a layout to share from Alyssa McGrew.

Alyssa stamped on our Kraft Masking Tape with border stamps for this layout!

Alyssa says: I was looking for a way to add a little more interest to this layout, so I decided to take one of my favorite border stamps and try stamping on the Kraft Masking Tape from the shop.  I love the way it worked!  I'l be doing this again soon.

Alyssa also used canvas butterflies and embossed tags to add even more texture to this bold layout.  To see more of Alyssa's work, click on her photo.

Kraft and Woodgrain Card with Jess Mutty

Today we have another amazing card to share, this one from DT Member Jess Mutty.

 Jess says: Sometimes I really just love the simplicity of a neutral color scheme. You can really make the most of textures with basic kraft and white.  Today's card has lots of rich layers of paper doilies, felt, seam binding, rosettes, and more.

The background is from an embossed kraft bag with parts of white paper doilies on top.  The flower is actually formed from eight book page hearts folded in half.  I also used some fab white banner stickers and cut a notch in some doubled up kraft tape for coordinating banners.

Glassine Card and Envelope Set by Andrea Amu

Card and Glassine Envelope

This week I created a "Congrats and Best Wishes" card and envelope using the Curtsey Boutique glassine bags, kraft masking tape, gray fabric shabby chic butterfly embellishment and chalkboard heart.

I embossed the glassine bag with an Anna Griffin embossing folder in my Cuttlebug machine. I also embossed the kraft masking tape used in the middle of the torn cardstock strips.  

I rubbed some Pewter Distress Stain over the embossing on the masking tape to make it look like faux embossed metal strips.  I then used a white get pen to write my sentiment on the chalkboard heart embellishment.

For this Project Life Page, I create the layout first, choosing some of my favorite photos from the week.  In this case, they are of my son, who was choosing to work diligently to balance his pencil on it's end.  In the process, he successfully avoided math homework for an entire 3 minutes.  

After completing the layout, I used my scraps and several more items from the shop to complete my weekly spread.

I love the elegance of simple silver wrapping paper, but it seemed a little stark for a children's gift.  So I decided to dress up my packages a little with treat bags made using a few items from the shop.  I love how they turned out, and I'm pretty certain that little hands will have a hard time resisting these gifts under the tree!
