Here's some inspiration!

Several of our Design Team Members decided to play along - check out all the awesome PLAID cards they created! Read the description below each card to see who made it.

Samantha created a plaid background for her card using masks and inks! So cool! She created the city using images from the Newton Dreams of New York  and Newton Dreams of London stamp sets and the sleigh and sentiment are from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set. 

Larissa created a sweet little shaker card with a fun plaid border! She used images from the Bushels of Love stamp set (Simon Says Stamp Exclusive). Adorable!

Naki created a fun fall thank you card using plaid paper and letters! She added in pumpkins cut out with the Pick-a-Pumpkin Die Set. That stitched ribbon is so pretty too!

Yuki created a duo of adorable dog cards using dogs from our Canine Christmas stamp set with fun plaid backgrounds. The color combo on these cards of black, red, kraft and white is one of my favorites for Holiday cards!

Danielle added plaid paper in fall colors to create this fun card! The angles of paper in the background are so fun! Winston from the Winston's Birthday stamp set really pops off the card! 

I pulled out one of my favorite christmas images, Winston driving a car laden with holiday goodies from the Winston's Home for Christmas Stamp Set. I colored the image with watercolors and then added plaid paper along with some black chalkboard style washi tape. I finished it off with the sentiment "have a beary merry christmas" embossed in white on a black circle.

This card by Chark is so clever we just had to share it! She used the bear and raccoon from the Campfire Tails stamp set and added some fun Halloween rub ons to make it a Halloween Theme! I love the raccoon sitting on the bears head with his pumpkin! 

Ellen always wows us scene building and this is so cool! We love how she created layers of grass and a spooky cornfield for the kitty and pumpkins from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set! Her coloring is amazing too!

This card by Cimbacreativefun using our digital freebie stamp is so fun! Her coloring on the pumpkin image is so great and we love the way she framed it up and inked the edges. The background is super cool too with the pattern pattern paper spiderwebs and the embossed spiderwebs!
