Eco-friendly, rustic-chic, and surprisingly neutral, Environment kraft paper seems to look great with just about anything you pair it with. In this post, we picked our top five favorite kraft color combinations, whipped up some quick invites to show them off, and share what we me made them with. Take a look, get inspired, then be sure to tell us what your favorite kraft color combo is.
Kraft + Green
Whether lucite, sea, or mint, shades of green will be everywhere this spring, so here we tried it with Desert Storm kraft paper in a layered polka dot invitation ensemble, and liked what we saw!
Envelope
- A7 kraft envelope – Desert Storm
- 8 1/2 x 11 Aspire Petallics Text Paper – Spearmint 81lb – custom cut to 6 x 6 3/4 (liner)
Card
- 8 1/2 x 11 kraft card stock – Desert Storm 80lb – custom cut to 4 1/2 x 6 1/2

Kraft + Yellow
Nothing says spring like a pop of yellow, and as it turns out, understated lemon linen and rich and rustic Grocer Kraft complement each other quite nicely. Naturally we paired the two, threw in some soft white for contrast, and wrapped the ensemble up in twine to create an eco-chic invite fit for a spring wedding. What do you think?

Kraft + Gold
What do you get when you pair shimmering and elegant gold with rough and unrefined kraft? Somehow the contrast just works, and you end up with some pretty darn cool envelopes. Here’s what we used:
- Environment Envelopes (A2 & A7 sizes)
- 8 1/2 x 11 Stardream Text Paper – Antique Gold 81lb
- 8 1/2 x 11 Curious Metallics Text Paper – Gold Leaf 80lb (printed then cut)
