Making Your Own Plaid Pattern Paper

Have you ever wanted to create your own plaid pattern paper? It's very easy and the color combinations are only limited to your imagination. I have a quick reel over on my Instagram page that shows how I created this pattern.
I made this card with an A2 size card base cut from smooth white cardstock. I then used a wonky stitched die to cut out a panel with the plaid image to fit on the card base with a bit of a white border.
To make the plaid background: Used a rectangle die to cut out the center of an A2 size panel of vellum paper to create my mask. I then added removable tape to the back of my mask and applied it to a piece of white cardstock. I then taped off the areas I wanted to ink blend with post it tape. This is a removable adhesive backed strips of paper.
You can re-use the strips and ink blend in any color or size. I have found that the more random pattern turns out best. For some sparkle I used a permanent tape runner and glitter to the pattern for a bit of sparkle. I then pulled off the mask and added my die cut daisy and sentiment.
I hope you enjoyed the project I have made got inspired to create your own plaid paper! For your convenience I have provided affiliate links to the supplies I have used below at no additional costs to you. Thank you so much for stopping by!

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up. The next project I made also began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white paper. I then trimmed down another piece of...

Simon Says Stamp DieCember Blog Party

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog party! Be sure to take advantage of the  exclusive promotion for this blog party👇👇  I'm one of those rare people that begins to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Using the new Ornate Star die I created ornaments for my little flocked Christmas tree. I feel like I could make a dozen of these easily! I die cut the Ornate Star die once from gold cardstock and once from silver cardstock. I then glued the die cut stars on to silver and gold glitter paper. I weighted it with a large acrylic block to help the stars adhered firmly to the glitter cardstock. When the adhesive was dry I used a craft knife to cut out the stars from the glitter cardstock. I then die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red metallic cardstock and white cardstock and adhered together for thickness and glued them carefully to the stars as to not have a glob of glue mess up the shine of the metallic cardstock. I...

Simon Says Stamp Sweet Wishes Blog Hop - Day 1

I'm happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Sweet Wishes blog hop. I am sharing a project using the gorgeous new Poinsettia Field embossing folder . I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then placed another piece of white cardstock inside the Poinsettia Field embossing folder and ran it through my die cut machine to create the impression. I then trimmed it down to fit the card base and leave a thin border. I colored the raised poinsettias with copic markers. Using gold paint and a paintbrush, I painted the centers of each flower. I used a sentiment from the new Heartfelt Snowflakes stamp set . I stamped it using clear embossing ink and sprinkled gold embossing powder over and heat set it. When it was cooled I used the coordinating die to cut it out and added to the uncolored area of the embossed panel with foam tape. There is a special offer for this blog hop! 👇👇👇Just follow the steps to receive your free gift! Simon is also g...
