Cardmaking with Bo Bunny's Primrose & Kraft Wood

Hi everyone!  I thought today I would share a couple of cards I recently made with the beautiful Primrose collection and Bo Bunny's fabulous Kraft Wood Shapes. I love how the neutral color of the Kraft Wood works so well with whatever colors you chose to design with.  For this 'blank' card (I sometimes like to leave some cards I create without a sentiment so that I can just add it as I need it), I used a couple of pieces from the New 'Elegant' kraft wood collection. 

 

 

Instead of using the frame design as something to mount my title on, I used it as a base design for my handmade rose bloom (made with Primrose 'Breathtaking' paper and Spellbinder's Rose Creation dies).  I used one of the wood flourish pieces as a design element tucked under the lip of the patterned paper.  I did a little bit of inking behind the piece to make the design pop a little more. The pretty circle doilie design was made with plain glossy white cardstock and a Memory Box die 'Quinn Flourish' (thanks Janene!! Mwah!).

 

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Cottage, Breathtaking (both sides), Bliss (both sides), Dot, Memories / Primrose

Kraft Wood: Elegant Shapes

Dies: Spellbinders (Rose Creations), Memory Box (Quinn Flourish)

Hemp Twine

 

 

For my second card I used the same paper collection and Kraft Wood Elegant Shapes pack. For this one I wanted to go a little more 'artsy' so I did some inking and misting and a whole bunch of stamping.  I even added few strips of washi tape.

 

I used one of the elegant frames to frame the greeting card title and used one of the flourish designs to add a little 'flow' to my fussy cut butterfly.  When I use natural elements like wood in my projects, I love to team them up with other natural elements like hemp twine and burlap.

 

Supplies:

Patterned Paper:  Bliss, Dot, Joy, Memories / Primrose

Kraft Wood: Elegant Shapes

Washi Tape: Primrose, Black & White Patterned

Stamps: Enchanted, It is Written, Ambrosia, Weekend Market

Other: Burlap, Hemp twine, Gesso, Lace, Martha Stewart edge punch (Swirling Lace)

Ink/Mists:  Lindy's Stamp Gang (Tainted Love Teal), Ingvild Bolme Chalk Ink (Sweet Pea)

 

I hope you enjoyed my little card projects!  They are a great way to get your creativity on and at the same time use up some of those scrap bits you have leftover from other projects!  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and for the really sweet comments you all are lovely enough to leave me! xo
