LCDesigns: Perfectly Plaid Christmas Card

Hello and Happy Friday eve,

Is it to early to make Christmas cards? Never, always better to be ahead of the game.

My card today is using the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and I'm using the amazing Plaid Tidings DSP. I love plaid, it reminds me of the crisp cool weather and Christmas my favorite time of year.

This card is called a panel card, I chose to use the colors that are in the DSP, Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler.

I started out with a 11' x 4 1/4" Shaded Spruce card base folded in half, I adhered a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of cherry cobbler to the card base.

I then cut 3 pieces of Shaded Spruce 3 3/4" x 1 1/2" and layered 3 1/2" x 1 1/4" pieces of DSP on top.

I spaced those evenly out on the Cherry Cobbler piece, I glue down the one on the left first, then the one on the right and then center the middle one between both. This helps me space them evenly.

I stamped two plaid trees in Shaded Spruce ink on Shaded Spruce cardstock and punch them out with the Tree Punch. I adhered the both flat onto the card base using liquid glue.

I cut out a Shaded Spruce label using the Hippo & Friends dies. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink the embossed with White Embossing Powder. I adhered the label to the front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish the outside I added some stars to the trees and a few white dots to the label using All the Trimmings embellishments.

Let's not forget the inside, I added a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White cardstock and Stamped a Plaid Shaded Spruce tree on the bottom right hand corner.

I love how this card came out, what do you think? Are you going to try and make a panel card?
