Kraft Card with Mischief

Every once in a while I scroll back through my photos and I find a few projects that I haven't yet posted here.
This is one of those projects.  I made this card back in September to showcase the Mischief paper pack at my Fall/Winter Idea Book open house.  As it was so long ago - - I have no recollection of whether this card was inspired by someone else, whether I used a sketch or whether it was a creation 'all my own'. 
But - - I think it is a great card & was worthy of sharing  . . . so if this looks familiar to anyone - please speak up so I can give you proper credit  :-)

Materials Used (all Close to My Heart):
Kraft Die-Cut Cards & Envelopes
Mischief Level 2 paper pack
Black grosgrain ribbon
Sunset Mini Medley
The Present acrylic stamp set
Black ink
Sunset cardstock

Hope everyone is doing well - - I'm busy cutting pieces for my upcoming card workshops.    Tedious work!  Not a great start to the week with a bit of a snowstorm here today also!   

I've been contemplating doing a "December Daily" album this year (CTMH style, of course!).  Curious - - how many of you are planning on doing one or have done one in the past?  Any tips for me?

New product sneak peek!!

Here are the products we got peeks at today at Convention:

A few new stamp sets:

And some cute little cards we got to make using new paper & accessories:

Elemental & Mischief:

Roxie & Sonoma:

Typeset & Wonderland:

Lots of great things to see on these cards if you look closely!!  Each of these cards uses only one patterned paper from the respective kit (if you see two patterns, that is the backside of the paper).  Plus lots of fun new embellishments.  One thing you can't see - - all of our patterned papers are now cardstock-weight paper! 

Can't wait to see the full catalogue tomorrow am!!
