I have a confession…when the Spring Catalog came out – I instantly loved this stamp set, Beyond Plaid, why??? – not sure but I have to say I have never been so frustrated with trying to create something that I am happy with! I have never struggled so until this card – I really like it and I'm smiling!!!! I just kept crossing the design to make the backdrop of the card!
All of the colors I used came from the In-Color 2012-2014 Collection! They all work together so well and now that it is SPRING…doesn't this make you feel cheerful! I stamped the images on white card stock and then popped them out using the 1 3/8" square punch. I just kept crossing the design to make the backdrop of the card! Turned out pretty cool!
After "scruffing up" the Feels Good stamp to get maximum coverage ( remember a pet peeve of mine) I ran it through my dear, Mr. Big Shot, my favorite stampin' man – then using the Labels Collection Framelits I cut out that fun shape! To give it a bit of softness, I lightly sponged the sides of the sentiment piece! After matting it I used the Paper piercing tool and the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack using every other hole to give the WOW factor a WOW!
Adding just a dap of ribbon, the Primrose Petal Stitched Satin Ribbon the final touch was in place! Putting my Stampin' Vitamins, Stampin Dimensionals and lining the envelope with the In-Color Designer Paper, this card came to life! Please email me or leave a comment and let me know how you like this!
I would love for you to be a PAL….and time is running out to take advantage of the Sale-A Bration Celebration! Do you realize that well over 80% of SU Demonstrators are hobbiest like myself! I just love creating and love making and sending cards to family and friends..how about joining me with this fun journey!
Until tomorrow…..happy Stampin'!!!

I really like the way you used the pattern! I can’t wait until I get the items I’ve ordered! This is one idea I plan to CASE! Thanks for the great idea!
Love the card! I must confess – I didn’t fall in love with the stamp set, but I LOVE the way you’ve used it! I also am IN LOVE WITH Primrose Petals – anything! I bought the stamp pad, and I now plan to buy the ribbon, etc. It’s seems to be such a great, versatile color! Thanks again, Susan – and thanks for the reminder about scuffing up the stamp. I had read that and forgot!!
P.S. Forgot to say that I have found in the past that patterned stamps like that are harder to work with – to get them straight. But you have proved that practice and perseverance pay off!!!
