So Krafty

It was such fun to be a Guest Designer with the Daring Card Makers, they are a lovely bunch. However, I'm back on the other side of the fence now checking out the dare on a Friday to see what lovely ideas the girls have come up with. This week it is Jo's turn to set the dare and here is what she says:

"I thought that it would be fun to use a product that seems to be 'Bang on Trend' so this week my dare 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... "

I was pretty sure I had some Kraft cards somewhere, I've had them for a long time and used them one year for my Christmas cards at the time when I was less obsessed by card making lol! So I had to rummage through my drawers, in fact I had to take a lot of stuff out and found some other things I'd forgotten about while I was there, and eventually I did find 4 of these brown Kraft cards which I'm pretty sure I got from Lakeland Limited.

The ribbon is stuff I picked up in the January sales at Tesco and the little scrap I bought in Avoca when I was in Belfast in the summer. The greeting is a Lakeland stamp (Kathy, I've got those one's too and mine still stick, hee hee) and I fancied up some plain brads with some purple glitter glue.

    The lovely Kaz has sent me some magic stuff to use with those unsticky Lakeland stamps so I may have to get them out of the drawer for a second time!
