Monochromatic Cards
by Amanda Coleman


If you are like me, you love having a large assortment of paper in all kinds of colors and patterns. Doodlebug's new Kraft in Color has just that.  Each classic Doodlebug color is paired with both kraft and white and comes in several shades and patterns.  I mixed and matched patterns and embellishments to create a couple of bright and fun monochromatic cards.

Both of these cards were created using journaling cards from the Kraft in Color collection.  I trimmed this orange journaling card into a banner shape and made it the focus of the card.


Each container of sequins has 6 different colors and three different finishes.  These sequins are a metallic, pearlescent and opaque.  Aren't they lovely?


More colorful sequins and a swiss dot vellum overlay.  Doodlebug's swiss dot vellum comes in all colors of the rainbow.  It is seriously awesome stuff!


I fussy cut the sentiment from a journaling card and paired it with a bunch of different yellow prints and patterns.  This is a happy card, indeed!

More colorful sequins and swiss dot vellum.  I love the various shades of yellow in the Kraft in Color collection.

The yellow polka dots on kraft is my favorite Kraft in Color pattern.  The yellow dots look stunning against a kraft background.

Have a colorful day!

Bumblebee Bouquet Card 
by Courtney Lee

Good day to you! This is Courtney from Court's Crafts here with a very springy birthday shaped card! 

The new Kraft in Color collection.... what can I say... I. LOVE. IT! The patterns are awesome. The colors are perfect. There is neither too much white nor just one pattern (like polka dots). There is so much variability. If I could tell any crafter - especially beginners - to buy just one (well two) collections it would be Kraft in Color - Color and Kraft in Color - Kraft. Both collections are equally amazing. Get both! Trust me!

I used both 6x6 pads to create this card. There are 7 patterned papers on this card along with sprinkled vellum for the bee wings.


I wanted to add some sparkle so I used some liquid glue around the edges of the butterflies and ran the crown through my Xyron sticker maker and glittered away!

I used a lot of dimension on this card and had a great time with it! The sprinkles vellum is popped up on the big bee to give it a fun wing effect.

I finished it off with a happy birthday sticker that conveniently matched the bee wings. I LOVE how doodlebug cares so much about coordinating colors across collections!  

Thanks for taking a peek at my project and I hope you have a beautiful day!
