Perfectly Plaid for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to this months perfectly awsome Stamper’s Showcase blog hop where our theme is ‘Holiday catalogue’.

I love, love the holiday catalogue and it was so difficult to choose one set to showcase but finally I settled on the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Pine Tree Punch. I chose this stamp set because it is so easy to make great cards with and is accessible to crafters of all levels. Having a punch also makes it ideal for the beginner and casual crafter.

To recreate the Perfectly Plaid card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅞” by 3⅝”
Let It Snow dsp – 5⅞” by ½” x 2
Noble Peacock Foil – 5⅞” by ⅛” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I began by stamping the 2 Real Red plaid trees onto the long, thin strip of Whisper White cardstock.

I punched out 2 trees from PostIt notes using the Pine Tree Punch and used these to mask the stamped trees. Other trees were added behind. A plaid tree was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock, punched out and added to the panel in the centre on Dimensionals.

The stamped layer was glued to the 2 strips of dsp using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The 2 strips of Nobel Peacock Foil were then added to the panel with the same glue.

The whole layer was then glued to the Pool Party card base using the same adhesive. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped on scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the Classic Label Punch. It was glued to the card front.

I stamped the plaid tree once more onto Scrap Whisper White cardstock in Pretty Peacock ink and added it to the card front on Dimensionals. A few Red Rhinestones completes the card.
