Clear & Simple Stamps - November Style Watch Week 1


Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things.

 "

It's true. A smartly wrapped box, donning layers of twine brings a smile to my face. The classic look of kraft is right on trend this holiday season and today's project showcases kraft in all it's glory...

I’ve mentioned before just how much I love tone-on-tone color palettes, so I thought I’d have some kraft-on-kraft Christmas fun for today’s Style Watch issue. The Trendy Tags and Taglines sets offer perfect little accents for my brown paper packages and the images add a beautiful layer of color.

To “top” this project off, I created kraft paper bows and you don’t want to miss the simple “how to” on creating these for yourself. With the holiday’s upon us, I hope this project will inspire you to get “krafty” this season…

Until Later Loverlies,
Amber
