Come hop along with us and get inspired for the holidays. Hop list is below!
Before I get started...

many Winners and claim your prizes!!!
Our Winner here at My Kraft Kloset, for June is...
"L.B."
Congratulations!!!
Our theme for August is...
So many ideas running through my head, as I love Fall, Halloween, and Christmas.
So my biggest challenge was deciding "what" to use.
Follow along as I continue with my "New Years Resolution" to use Unity stamps I haven't ever used before.
And I combined that with a few of my favorite things, like
heat embossing, colored/kraft cardstock, and ribbon.
So here's what I came up with...
Shhhh... nobody tell, but this card is for our daughter and her groom to be who are getting married the weekend before Halloween with a Masquerade Ball theme. As we ALL love Halloween. Fun, right? We can't wait to celebrate!
So I wanted their card to be a little spooky, but elegant with lots of embossing and I think I achieved that with a classic "gate fold" card, with a band, and using a few of their wedding colors too! I hope they like it!

I got this amazing deer in a grab bag, but it's actually part of a past monthly kit, and I had to use it. Then I discovered I hadn't used this sweet holiday word background either, so I knew I had to use them together.
I've been wanting to create more with kraft cardstock, combined with some more heat embossing, a few embellishments and this will be ready to mail for the holidays!
