Default WT217- Kool Kraft (05/07/09)

I love Kraft cardstock. It's a staple in my supplies. As we've been focusing on cardstock staples and getting creative with them, I thought this week it would be fun to feature Kraft cardstock. That's right...find Ways to Use Kraft cardstock in your project today. I love it as a layer, stamped with white craft ink and just about any way you can think of. One thing I love about Kraft is it looks great with so many different styles...shabby, vintage, clean, trendy...just about anything! Get your thinking caps on and have some fun with different ways to use it.

Please remember to put WT217 in your keywords section and post a link back here. This challenge is to get your creating so feel free to upload NEW cards, layouts, altered items...anything you wish as long as it uses Kraft cardstock. There are no time limits or upload limits so just have fun and see where the challenge takes you. If you've never played along before...welcome! I hope you will today!

My Sample:Tweet Wishes

Shel9999's sample: Sending Love

WT217 Gallery Submissions

Happy creating!

Julia

I used to hate kraft cs - just a blechy color, but of course, when you see all the SCS masters create masterpieces with it... what can I say? I still don't use it often, but I no longer hate it. Thanks, Julia.

Argh - I used my last two pieces of Kraft cardstock for the TLC on Monday. I think I'll have to subsitute with brown wrapping paper - will that be OK? No shortage of that...

I finally broke down and ordered some a few months ago. I always went to Creamy Caramel when Kraft was called for. Hope I can find some time to work on something.
Great challenge to get me out of the "usual and customary"!!
thanks Julia!

Well, Pooey! I haven't ever bought any Kraft CS or Ink.
Truth is, I never thought it was something I liked.
Now that I've seen the cards in the gallery, I have changed
my mind.

I have a bunch of kraft - for some reason I never grab it. You have inspired me - I'll just have to see what I can do.
