Timeless Plaid – Welcome

Red Plaid Deer Card

December 12, 2025 No Comments

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.

The Wilderness Awaits Fox Birthday Card

August 6, 2025 No Comments

This is a great birthday card for the men in your life. Masculine cards for some reason are much harder to create over floral or femine cards, but I am going to make myself do more of them. This card uses Timeless Plaid paper and the The Wilderness Awaits stamp set from Stampin’ Up.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Cajan Craze card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Timeless Plaid 6” x 6” designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
The Wilderness Awaits stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
By the Dock stamp set (retired Stampin’ Up)
Border die
Two label dies (small and medium)
Cajan Craze ink (Stampin’ Up)
Blender Pens (Stampin’ Up)
Cajan Craze (light)
Wild Wheat (light)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

To start take a piece of Basic Beige card stock and cut to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to form a 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut a second piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”” for the inside. From your Cajan Craze cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 ¼” and a second for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Timeless Plaid designer series paper pack find the piece that goes with the Cajan Craze and cut a piece to 4” x 5” and cut a second piece to 1” x 3 7/8”.

Take the Cajan Craze piece cut to 4 1/8” x 5 ¼” and the Basic Beige piece that is 4” x 5” and stack them together and alight evenly at the bottom edge. Take your border die of choice and angle across both pieces toward the bottom to your liking and cut, forming the angled front pieces.

Take a spare piece of Basic Beige and the Jet Black Momento ink and stamp the fox from The Wilderness Awaits stamp set. Use your Cajan Craze Light Blender Pen to color the fox leaving a bit uncolored around the eyes and nose. With the Wild Wheat Light Blender Pen color the grass. Then use your medium size die to cut out the fox. Take a small whole punch and cut two holes on each side about ½” apart. Cut two pieces of the twine and string through the wholes on each side. Adhere the plaid paper to the center of the Cajan Craze piece. Add pop dots to the back of the fox piece and adhere toward the top and centered and wrap the twine around the edges. Then adhere to the front top portion of your Basic Beige card base.

On a spare piece of Basic Beige take the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the By The Dock stamp sent and stamp with Cajan Craze ink. Then use the small die to cut out and use pop dots to adhere to the lower Basic Beige portion of your card.

For the inside of your card take the Basic Beige piece and adhere to the piece of Cajan Craze and then adhere the plaid strip across the bottom. Use your Cajan Craze ink and a birthday greeting and stamp, I use a “Wishing you the very best of birthdays” stamp. Adhere to the inside of the card.

This is a great card for any males in your life with a birthday coming up.

Rustic Crate True Friend Card

April 6, 2025 1 Comment

I went a bit old school for today’s card with the Rustic Crate set and using an old tool that roughs up the edges and then I sponged them to antique the paper. It was fun to go back to using some old ways of doing things.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Natural card stock
A brighter color card stock for gloves
Tan card stock to cut the rake
Timeless Plaid designer series paper
Rustic Crate stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Rain Boots dies (Stampin’ Up)
Dragonfly Garden stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
Early Expresso Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
Cinnamon Cider ink (Stampin’ Up)
Cinnamon Cider twine (Stampin’ Up)
Stampin Blends
- Old Olive light and dark
- Lemon Lime Twist light and dark
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

Cut your card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” using the Natural card stock then fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your Timeless Plaid card stock find the Old Olive green plaid piece, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and then you should have a piece left that is ¾” x 4” to use for your inside. Take the scrapping tool (if you have one) or scissors and your two pieces of plaid paper and rough the edges, then use your sponge and Cinnamon Cider ink to sponge along your roughed edges. I also sponged the front cover edges of the card. Adhere the 4’ x 5 ¼” piece to the front of your card and the small piece to the left side of the inside of your card.

With some scrap Natural card stock, the plant stamp from the Rustic Crate stamp set and your Early Expresso ink and stamp two of the plants. Use your four green Stampin’ Blend markers to color the plants in different shades, I did Lemon Lime Twist Light, Old Olive Dark, Lemon Lime Twist Dark and then the Old Olive Light from left to right. Use the die from Rustic Crate to cut out your plants. Also cut a small tag with a die from the Natural card stock. Take a scrap piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock and the crate die from Rustic Crate and cut your crate. Use a brighter color card stock to cut the gloves from the Rustic Crate dies. Take a scrap piece of tan and the rake die from the Flowering Rain Boots dies and cut out the rake.

Take your plants and the crate and align the first row of plants to where you want them. If any of the roots are showing then cut them off leaving enough room to adhere to the crate. For the second row of plants, I cut the first two together and then cut the other two individually. Align them along the back spaced to your liking and adhere. Adhere the crate with plants to the front of your card, slightly to the left so you have room for your tag. Adhere the gloves and rake.

Take your tag, Cinnamon Cider ink and the “For a True Friend” greeting from Dragonfly Garden and stamp on your tag. Adhere your tag like it is tied to the plants. Take some of your twine and tie a bow and adhere to the top of your tag. For the inside of your card take the “May good things grow all year long” greeting and the Cinnamon Cider in and stamp on the inside of the card.

That completes your Rustic Crate True Friend card. Give it to a special friend to let them know you care.

Pigs in a Row Timeless Plaid Card

April 4, 2025 2 Comments

These adorable pigs just won my heart and I had to have this die set. I started thinking last night that I wanted to do a card with some of the plaid paper from Stampin’ Ups Timeless Plaid designer series paper and these pigs just popped into my head and that was it, they were getting used.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Powder Pink card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Rich Razzleberry card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Timeless Plaid designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
Quite Curvy (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Happy Thoughts (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Row of Pigs Border Cutting Dies (InLoveArts)
Rich Razzleberry ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Tip Top Taupe Marker (Stampin’ Up)
Sponge
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Powder Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With the Rich Razzleberry card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. Then with your pink plaid paper cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5” and a second piece to 7/8” x 3 7/8”. Now take your white card stock and cut it to 4” x 5 ¼”.

Grab some spare scraps of your Powder Pink card stock and cut 5 pigs, one with all four and then cut an extra with the one you like the most. Then with the Crumb Cake card stock and cut the wooden pen and then with a small piece cut out a corner with some of the grass cut to 7/8” x 1 ¾” with the grass extending past the 7/8”. Take your Tip Top Taupe market and color the grass areas on the wooden pen.

Now take a piece of spare white card stock and the “Hooray for you!” greeting stamp from the Quite Curvy stamp set. With the curvy die, make sure the curvy greeting is lined up in the same shape as the curved die so that it will line up when you cut it. Stamp it with the Rich Razzleberry ink. Take the die and line it up to cut the bottom of “Hooray for You” and cut which will leave the dots border. Do the same at the top which will cut it straight.

Take your piece of Rich Razzleberry and the large plaid and adhere the plaid to the Rich Razzleberry and then adhere that to the front of your card. Then adhere the wooden pen to the bottom of the front plaid piece. Align four of your pigs along the top of the wooden pen and then adhere each of them. Now adhere your Hooray for You greeting to the center of your plaid.

For the inside of your card, adhere the small piece of plaid to the left side of the white inside piece. If you haven’t already, color the grass hanging out on the small wooden pen you cut and then adhere to the lower left corner over part of the plaid. Adhere your last pig to the to of the wooden pen.

There is your adorable Pigs in a Row Timeless Plaid card to give a cute congratulations to anyone.
