NEW Kraft Cardstock and Paper!

Hello and good morning! I have another project to share today. I created this for the WorldWin Papers Winter CHA booth using some of the NEW Kraft papers and cardstock.

I have been playing with some mixed media techniques lately. I decided that since I needed to use printed paper sparingly for this assignment, I would go all out with the inks and paints! I started out by spaying the Kraft Gray/Gray 95# paper with various mists. This paper is on the thin side for cardstock, so I expected it to buckle a bit when I got it wet. However, it took the wet products very well with no buckling or warping! (To purchase the NEW papers, call 888-843-6455 to find a store in your area!)

I distressed the paper edges, including punching some areas with a notebook edge punch. I ripped and tore some areas also, and used some ink to add even more distress. I added some bits of printed paper behind the torn areas, and then mounted everything to some of the WorldWin Kraft Chipboard. Since this layout was going to a trade show, I wanted it to have some extra "bulk." 

I stamped various background stamps onto the kraft paper. I also added some rub-on text. I did not want to be able to read any of the words, just to have the text bits showing.

The flowers are the best part of this project. I cut them from Kraft Brown/Gray #68 paper. This paper is about the same thickness as computer paper. I die cut my flowers and misted them with various mists. I dried them with a heat tool. The paper became sort of "crinkly and brittle" making them so interesting to work with! It was so easy to shape them and handle them. The paper took on the texture of heavy tissue paper in a way. What a fun product!

I love these "gray-green" flowers. There is something so fun and earthy about them. The beautiful photo we took in Alaska just pops of the page! Thanks for looking!

More Kraft Mixed Media!

Hello, it is Gloria here again. I had such fun sharing my other "grunge" project with you, that I wanted to make another page, using the kraft cardstock. I confess, I love kraft cardstock. I use a lot of it and think it perfect for mixed media techniques.

My daughter graduated high school this month and she had a few of her wallet-sized photos on the desk. I snagged one and made this mixed media layout for her. I used WorldWin Kraft cardstock as the background. I also used Treasures Pitch Black, and Heritage Black.

I confess that it is really hard for me to create something without using a lot of printed papers. However, the mixed media techniques give such dimension and depth, that I only used a few pieces of printed paper on the project.

I sprayed, stamped, and painted on the kraft cardstock. I also used some modeling paste! The paper held up to all the "wet" very well. I was impressed!

Thanks for looking!

I hope you have a chance to check out all that WorldWin Papers has to offer!
