Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I used the last bits of a piece of plaid paper in my hoard stash
and got two cards out of it.
First up in my favorite gnome.
I found this embossed frame in my Christmas box and stamped a sentiment
to fit inside. But it was pretty dark. So I embossed a piece of vellum to
put over top and inside the frame. A little extra snow adds to the fun!
This one uses the very last sliver of that plaid paper.
The tree has some sparkle dots for shine.

Nice use of that plaid on both cards. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove there! What a difference that plaid paper makes on those die cuts! I do have the tree die and may do something like this. Love the striking contrast of the dark plaid and the white as well as the embossed card base!
ReplyDeleteTwo very creative cards! What a clever way to use up that striking plaid paper.
ReplyDeleteLoving both of these cards Bonnie!! That plaid is beautiful and I can see why you had to use every tiny last bit of it!! And it worked perfect on that gnome who just happens to be my favorite gnome too!! Love the clean and crisp embossed white frame around that sweet little guy too! And your pine tree on the 2nd card is just as beautiful in the plaid too! Two FABULOUS cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThat lovely plaid was perfect for the gnome, Bonnie, but I love it for the tree as well. The tree die is wonderful with a touch of plaid showing through.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't plaid make all the difference?! I love this little gnome in plaid and used him as well for my card which will go live on Monday. I love how you put vellum behind the frame, it softens the sentiment and "snow". I love the embossed front, so fun and whimsical! The tree card is so different and looks fabulous with the plaid! I love that unusual cut out frame, so fun but so classy. I am glad I got a whole paper stack of plaids a few years back because I can't imagine not having any plaid papers. lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards with plaid, Bonnie! I hear you about the hoarding :)
ReplyDeleteJust love your gnomie (I finally succumbed and bought this die - thanks for enabling!) on card one and the amazing stained glass look on card two!!
Great use of your last bits of plaid dp! Love both cards! I hoard some of my favourite dp too - really need to make myself use it up!
ReplyDeleteAdorable Gnome all dressed up in plaid with lovely framing, Bonnie. Love your pretty plaid tree and die cut frame on your 2nd CAS card design too. TFS both your creative Christmas cards, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteI'm a gnome fan, even though I've only colored one of the several gnome stamps in my NBUS basket, sheesh. Your die cut gnome is adorable and makes a perfect Christmas card. I absolutely love the plaid PP. The embossed frame is pretty and the vellum a good idea for toning down the sentiment. I really like the art deco look of your second card. You have such a gift for CAS.
ReplyDeleteYour gnome dressed up in plaid is so cute, Bonnie! Love the soft effect of the embossed vellum window!
ReplyDeleteYou made a great use of your last sliver of the plaid paper for the second card. Love the design of the deco tree frame!
It's always good to see your card in the CAS Christmas gallery. Thank you for sharing, my friend!

Great cards using plaid paper. First card sweet, I love this gnome. The second card is a great WOW! The white background and the amazing inlays around the Christamas trees are so striking. I love this card, it is amazing.

Oh how cute!! Love the plaid-wearing gnome and the tree wears the plaid as well as the gnome does! Great cards!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved that little gnome, he looks even cuter all decked out in plaid and your deco window looks amazing with the plaid inlay ♥
ReplyDeleteI love this gnome every time I see him! He's looking particularly dapper in his plaid attire. Two terrific cards, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous plaid cards Bonnie! That is the most gorgeous plaid so I can see why you used every bit of it. Lovely cards! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plaid paper and well done you, using up the last little bit too. Adorable gnome, with a wonderful design and eye catching art deco second card Bonnie....Both are fabulous and love the crispness of the white against the plaid x.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I don't have the strength to lift down my box of Christmas supplies yet, but I think I can just save it... this is a winner if I've ever met one!
ReplyDeleteLOve this gnome - you know I'm mad for plaid - well it's just a winning combination in my book! and super cute!

What brilliant use you have made out of your last slivers of plaid paper. I always love cards with plaid on them so I have no idea why I don't use it myself more often. Your gnome looks wonderful in his plaid outfit and putting the vellum over the inked sentiment was such a good idea. I love the look. Your second card is beautiful, that die is gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie you have done it again. TWO fabulous cards. WOW that is wonderful plaid paper, I am so glad you had enough to make two cards with it and both cards are awesome! Thank you so much for playing along with our CAS Christmas Challenge!
ReplyDeleteFantastic use of that beautiful plaid paper Bonnie to make two beautiful Christmas cards. I love your sweet die cut gnome with the snowy vellum background, and then the pretty die cut tree and frame with the art deco feel to it, looking even better with the plaid paper backing it. x
ReplyDeleteI love that gnome in his plaid outfit all decked out for Christmas. That frame is so unique and the plaid really highlights it. That is a gorgeous plaid.
ReplyDeleteGood choices for that last bit of plaid, Bonnie. So festive and fun.
ReplyDeleteYour gnome is so fun, love his plaid attire! Great use of those "bits" to make such a pretty second card
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely cards, Bonnie! I love the gnome in his plaid outfit. The tree with that inlaid die cut column on each side is stunning. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs Monica
Wonderful twofers! Your favourite gnomie looks so festive and fashionable in his plaid outfit. Love what you did with the remaining plaid piece… great die.
