Merry Christmas (just a wee bit early, lol)! It's Toodle Noodle Ro here with you today for Day 3 of our 30 Days of Christmas event. And being day 3, I thought I'd share 3 cards with you! All with the common theme of Kraft Paper.
But first, did you know that until November 13th, EVERY STAMP IN THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION is 20% off (No code needed...automatically deducted at checkout). PLUS...you can save an additional 10% by using the code "TJ10Ro". That's a whopping 30% off Christmas Stamps! You can actually save 10% on everything else, too, using that code! Who doesn't love a good bargain!
And now for the cards! I like to have the ornaments on my tree as the highlight, so I wrap all my gifts in brown kraft paper, and then use three or four different ribbons to spruce them up. I love the simplicity (not to mention the cost savings!). After all, it's not just about the gifts! So I decided I would create some Christmas cards along those lines...with kraft cardstock and a simple color accent of green.
As you can see, the kraft CS keeps the cards very understated, but really let the sentiment and graphics pop.
The first card is a card of threes...3 stamps, 3 ink colors, 3 embellishments. This sure would be an easy one to mass-produce!

Hope you were able to find some inspiration and enjoy the simplistic feel of using kraft CS on your Christmas Cards. Don't forget the special 20% off Christmas Stamps and additional 10% off everything as I mentioned above.
Go on...get yourself a little treat!
Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!
