Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge, Colleen our host has asked us to pull out some Plaid for our cards.
Our Guest Designer is Melanie (Cards by Melanie)
I didn't have any Plaid Designer Paper or stamps so I googled plaid and it came up with some swatches that could be printed off. I stamped this cute Katzelkraft image on the base card and then stuck the Plaid printed paper to card stock using 6" Sookwang tape to make it a little stiffer and stamped the bag of toys. After colouring Santa and the presents with pencils I fussy cut the bag and paper pieced it on the card.
I think Sant looks quite cute with his Plaid bag bursting with presents😁
I used the Carabelle postage stamp corner to frame him and Joyfull Christmas from a Stampers Anonymous set.
