Saturday Blog Hop – Fun with Plaids

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Fun with Plaids”…create your own, use a stamp, designer paper, or even our Plaid Embossing folder!

SWEET JAR

For mine, I started with the random black & white plaid pattern from the Lovely Garden Designer Paper.  I used Stampin’ Blends to casually color in some of the grids!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Early Espresso cardstock is added on top.
• A 3-3/4 x 5 piece of black & white plaid Lovely Garden DSP was colored with Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends…both light and dark…in a random pattern.  It was adhered to the front.

• A 1/2 x 3-3/4 strip of Early Espresso cardstock was added across the front of the plaid piece.
• The Everyday Arches (3rd from smallest) were cut from Crumb Cake and Pool Party.  The Pool Party was stamped with the greeting in Early Espresso Ink and both added to the front slightly angled with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The jar and lid were stamped with Pool Party Ink on Basic White cardstock, the cookie base with Crumb Cake and the chocolate chips with Early Espresso Ink.  They were punched with the Sweet Jar Punch.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of gold Low Profile Dots were added to the background on the arches.

 

LOVE how my plaid piece turned out…and you could make them ANY color!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
