This pad of Kraft patterned papers from Kingston Crafts is most definitely not paper … and I think it is perfect for making card bases!
So I made a 6×6 Christmas card! And this is my Festive Friday for this week!
I made the card base and layered another piece of the same paper but reversed (KC make papers with the same patterned but differently sized on the reverse! So clever!). I distressed the edge to give it a little border – they are white core so this not only gives texture but allows for the white to show through!
Then I went to my pouch of the acetate and vellum ephemera and created a fun cluster using my favourite Kingston Crafts tape runner as the adhesive doesn’t show through!
I added a bow made of the linen thread.
I chose to layer the sentiment panel made from vellum onto white card as I wanted it to have more stability and I didn’t want the pieces underneath to show through and disrupt reading the sentiment. Then I raised this on adhesive foam for going over the cluster and the linen thread bow.
Inside I added a panel of white for writing on and added a little square with more of the ephemera on to finish off!
So cute!
Can imagine making more of these with a few of the other patterns in the pad such as the check or the scalloped strip pattern. So easy!
Happy crafting!

That’s so pretty! Love the little cluster around the sentiment
