Kraft Outlet DT Reveal for "Red, White or Blue" Challenge

 

Jessica Esch

For today's Red, White or Blue Challenge, Jessica is sharing this fun birthday card she made for her son's upcoming 10th birthday and incorporated all three of the challenge colors. She started out with a Brown Kraft Cardstock base and added a mat of red, white (cream) and blue pattern paper from Peebles. She die cut 2 stars, one using the matching Brown Kraft Cardstock and the other using blue Bazzill cardstock that matches her pattern paper. Since the colors from the pattern paper are cream, Jessica added some white gel pen doodles to follow along with the challenge. Since her son is turning the big double digit, she added the numbers "1" and "0" using Tim Holtz Mini Numerals and popping them up using some foam adhesive. For the sentiment and additional embellishments, Jessica stamped "happy birthday" on some Cream Twill Tape using Stazon Black ink and used 2 Custom Fasteners  with matching star stickers. For more details on her Red, White or Blue  inspiration card, you can visit Jessica's blog~ Chick-n-Scrap. 

Jan Del Bone

Jan chose red for her color for the red, white or blue challenge this week.  She began with a Kraft Lunchbox Note Card, and adhered some design paper.    She added Black & White Script Washi tape across the top, and a button tied with Earthy Hemp Cord.  C-Flute Corrugated Kraft Paper formed the base of the sentiment portion, with a Town Square Journaling Card and "a magical possibility" from the Chitchat Word Stickers.  Atop is a "real life" Lille Tag, threaded with a piece of Ruler Ribbon.  Stop by and say hello at Jan's blog, chai tea 'n me !

Tammy Hobbs

For today's "Red, White, or Blue" challenge, Tammy went with the color RED as she loves the way Red looks with Kraft. For today's card, she started with a Kraft Cover weight card base onto which she added the red and white stripe patterned paper. She die-cut an oval using a Floral Oval Nestabilities die out of red card stock and placed in the center. Next she cut various lengths of banners and stamped sentiments from Paper Sweeties in red ink. A row of paper flowers was added along the center. To complete the look, Tammy tied a double bow by using a length of Natural Twill Tape which she further embellished with a button and Red and White Baker's Twine. Please visit Tammy's Blog Creating Somewhere Under The Sun for additional pictures and information. Be sure to stop back by on Wednesday as Tammy has a fun little tutorial for you.
