Perfectly Plaid Masculine Christmas Card
I have been playing with the Perfectly Plaid set recently and another idea of using one of the trees for the background came to me which I wanted to try. I kept it simple with a bit of free hand repeat stamping for the background and sentiment.
Stamping the detailed tree in Pretty Peacock ink on Just Jade card. Aligning was easy as the stamped image has jagged edges, it doesn’t matter too much if it’s not straight. I then adhered Pretty Peacock card strips and the sentiment before finishing with the same tree design, right way up with Crumb Cake trunk and cut with the Pine Tree Punch.
I’m quite pleased with how the background turned out! What do you think? Be sure to continue along the hop for more inspirations from the Creating Kindness Design Team. Don’t forget to come back and order your Stampin’ Up! products online from Mitosu Crafts UK.

How ingenious Jay! If you hadn’t told me the background was trees, I wouldn’t have even picked it! Fabulous!! xx
Liz Yuille
I love this idea! What a great way to stretch your stamps. Lx
Charlet
Wow! Such a fun pattern to create with that tree. I love all the movement this card has with the greeting on the diagnol and the pattern of the trees. Nicely done!
Jan Clothier
That’s a clever way to use the tree stamp. I like the bold, graphic look it creates. Thanks so much for the chance to hop with you and the crew.
Lou Kitzelman
WHAT? I love how your mind works Jay! This is so clever. You really know how to get the most out of a stamp set. Note to self: Think “What would Jay do?” x
