Welcome to our August Blog Hop
featuring some of our great products made with kraft paper and products. This sturdy material takes ink wonderfully and helps to make some projects with a warm and cozy feel. There's just so much you can do! I'm also featuring the August Stamp of the Month, "A Chocolate Affair", which you can get for FREE this month with a purchase of $50 or more. Personally, I think the only thing better than chocolate is FREE chocolate LOL!

MY PROJECT: Kraft Ring Box as a Chocolate-y Gift
This is my Kraft ring box. I cut an overlay using the **new** Artbooking Cricut cartridge, and used it as a stencil. I sponged Chocolate ink over top to create this soft and wonderful pattern all over the box. Then I embellished with the Chocolate Affair stamp and Babycakes polka dotted paper. The pennant, "Sweet", is also cut from Artbooking on Sunset cardstock and backed with a scrap of Kraft paper.
I also made a cute card using the same techniques. This card was inspired by a sketch in Make It from Your Heart Volume 2, sketch # 20.
Here is the inside of the box, which I also decorated:
The Babycakes paper is so cute, I had to use it inside too. And I added the sentiment too, as a reminder that we all need a little chocolate in our life. :) Mmmmm, chocolate.
