I absolutely love this card, the red and black plaids are so adorable, and it makes such a great card for the men in your life. I found red and black plaid ribbon at Dollar Tree and was trying to find something to use it with and then I found this paper in my stack and there we were, the Peaceful Prints designer series paper from Stampin’ Up was the perfect combination.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Real Red card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Basic Black card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Peaceful Prints designer series paper (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Merriest Moments stamp set and dies (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Basic Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Red and Black Plaid Ribbon (Dollar Tree)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
From Real Red card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Also cut the strip to ½” x 3 ¾”. With the black card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the white card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5”. Then from the Peaceful Prints designer series paper find the red and black plaid piece and cut to 2 ¼” x 3 ¾” and the deer paper cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 3 ¾”, trying to cut so the deer is centered.
From a scrap piece of white card stock cut the scalloped oval label and stamp the “A joyful Christmas to you and yours” greeting from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Basic Black ink.
Adhere one of the black pieces to the front of your card. Adhere the deer piece to the top portion of your card and then the plaid piece to the bottom portion. Adhere the stamped label to the center of the plaid paper on the bottom about ½” from the bottom. Then adhere the red strip across where the two paper cross aligning about a ¼” from the top of your label.
For the inside of your card adhere the white piece to the black piece. Wrap the ribbon around the left side, adhering to the back. Then adhere to the inside of your card. With black ink stamp the “Thinking of you this festive season” greeting in the top middle of the white space.
This is such a great card for any males in your life, but any female would love to get it as well.
