CAS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE SEPTEMBER REMINDER~ PLAID

Thanks for stopping by and checking out more inspiration for the CAS Christmas Challenge using Plaids.

This is what I used:
Trinity Stamps:  Joyeux Noel (all die cuts)
Plaid is from a Tonic Studio Winter Wonderland Paper Pack
Hero Arts Nov. Monthly Kit: Christmas (sentiment)

And I have a bonus for you because I totally forgot I made my plaid cards months ago and just found them while posting these, so here is one more I originally made for this challenge.


Thanks for stopping by and looking, I hope you are inspired by all the awesome plaids you have seen on the blog and you are ready to get inky and join us in this challenge.  You have until the 24th to post your card!


Heart Hugs, friends!

A lovely sky made from plaid! I would never have thought of that. I love that clean stenciled card, so crisp looking.

Two lovely plaid designs Colleen! What a serene scene with the deer looking up at the stars hung in the blue plaid circle sky! And your soft green stenciled plaid is a beautiful background for your holly and golden greeting! This was a fun challenge for us this month! xx

Two wonderful cards Colleen! Your 1st card is so whimsical and I love it!! Never thought of using plaid for a sky but it totally works!! Had to laugh about your 2nd card as I have done the same thing...what a breed we card makers are!! It's absolutely beautiful though...so glad you found it!! This was such a fun challenge this month, and I have just loved seeing all the cards in the gallery and getting oodles of ideas! Hope you have a great weekend my friend!! Hugs. :0)

I see the blue plaid as a plaid sky behind your reindeer and trees - so whimsical. Two beautiful cards!

The blue plaid sky looks awesome, Colleen! What a fresh idea to use plaid for sky! I love it! The pretty deer, the trees, and the stars are placed in perfect spots. The plaid stenciled card is beautiful! The design is wonderful and the shine of the sentiment is amazing! Great challenge this month.
