A Krafty Cool Yule!

Hi again! :)

Is everyone starting to get ready for Christmas? My hubby and I spent yesterday pulling out decorations and getting the lights put up outside. We still have a couple of finishing touches before we turn them on for the season. I'll have to take some pics when we're all done and share them with you all.

I wanted to share another card that I put together for the MFT Guest Designer contest that Bar and I are hosting this week on the MFT forum at SCS. In case you missed my earlier post about this, the challenge is to use Kraft paper in your creation.

For this card, I pulled out the new MFT release from this past month. I LOVE this Cool Yule set! It's perfect for the snowy time of year! :)



To make the card, I used one of the Fossil scallop notecards from the MFT store. I punched holes in the scallops, using my cropodile and then outlined them with a white gel pen. Then I stamped on my image and flocked it. I colored all the white areas with a white gel pen first, so the Kraft color wouldn't show through the flocking. I added Glossy Accents to the nose, ears and paws, paper-pieced the scarf with a scrap of patterned paper, and finally added a ribbon and chipboard button accent for a fun one-layer card.

Here's a quick tip for flocking: Just glue up and flock your whole area. Then, while the glue's still wet, you can take a pin and smoosh it away from the detailed areas you don't want it in (like I did for the eyes and mouth).
