You don't know Jack!

August's featured paper pack comes from the Summer Seasonal Expressions Catalog/Idea Book, which retires in only a few short weeks on August 31. It is called Jack, and you don't know Jack, until you've seen this paper pack!  

An you may have noticed, each month I highlight a paper pack from the Seasonal catalogs to show the various components of a selected Paper Collection, as well as a variety of projects I have created – cards, scrapbook pages and other creations.  My hope is this will inspire you to get YOUR craft on!  

Jack is fantastic mix of masculine, camping trip, or holiday in the mountains themed paper... perfect for those summer trips that will soon be behind us as we give way to fall.  

The Jack paper collection features deep colors of Black, Juniper, Ruby, Slate, Sweet Leaf, Whisper and White Daisy, along with a mix of both bold and subtle patterns: mustaches, trees, plaid, axes, tree rings, and more!  The paper pack includes 12 sheets of 2-sided themed patterned paper.

Additionally, there is a coordinating cardstock packet with 12 sheets in Black, Juniper, Ruby and Slate  (3 sheets each of 2-sided white core) cardstock.  This cardstock combo packet complements the patterned paper pack and allows for added creativity whether you are a scrapbooker, cardmaker or other paper crafter!

Of course, you can’t have a featured paper pack without coordinating embellishments to go along with them.

The Jack Complements are perfect for creating titles, adding dimension or an added pop of flair with the coordinating stickers and chipboard cut outs. There are also the Black and White Dots which add subtle texture as an embellishment on your art work. 

Lastly, there is the Whisper Twine. This roll of 10 yards of twine is the perfect complement to the paper pack with fun texture, perfect for any card, page or layout. 

For those who would love to add some stamping to this fantastic paper pack, there are 2 coordinating stamp sets that coordinate with the Jack Paper Pack:  one for cardmaking and one for scrapbooking.   I am particularly fond of the bear and how you can "dress him up" in so many ways!

Both the cardmaking AND scrapbooking stamp sets can also be purchased in a Thin Cut Bundle to make creating faster, simpler and easier when you cut the images out using your preferred embossing/die-cutting machine. 

Either with or without the Thin Cuts, these stamp sets are perfect additions to your stamp collections. Mix and match the scrapbooking and cardmaking sets.  Use them with the Jack Paper Pack, or with something else to create unique works of art. 

To top things off, there is the Jack Workshop Your Way Kit.  This kit contains everything you need, with downloadable instructions for these 3 2-page layouts.  

The Workshop your Way kit includes the following items:

• 1 – Jack paper packet 
• 1 – Jack Complements 
• 4 – cardstock sheets
• 1 – Black and White Dots
• 1 – Whisper Twine

With only a few additional supplies, you will also be able to create 6 more cards (2 each of those shown) and additional pocket page inserts for scrapbooking with your kit, making this an incredible value!

To see additional items I have created using Jack, be sure to visit my blog regularly throughout the month of August.  I will share pages, cards and other crafty items that I hope will inspire you to get to know Jack!

Until next time, and more crafty creations,
