Have you ever needed a stack of general cards for the special men in your life? This card would work for any time of year for any occasion. I Love plaid and pines and this card has the perfect combination of both. The Celebrate Today stamp set is great, too, for any occasion.
For this card I used the Kraft Cardstock (#133674). It has great texture and is perfect to use with any card. It is a bit coated, so I actually used clear embossing powder on my ink, and heat set it . Check out the color combination below. The Kraft cardstock is sold as 12″ x 12″ and can be found with our Paper Basics in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. The Plaid paper can be found in the Warmth & Cheer DSP Paper Stack in the 2016 Holiday Catalog.
For adhesive with the pine sprigs and pinecones, I used our Multipurpose Liquid Glue! Just put a good sized spot where you want to start… let it dry for a bit to get sticky… put the first 3 sprigs and first pinecone on that… add more glue on top of your first pinecone… add the second pinecone… add more glue on top of the second pinecone… add last two sprigs… and lastly… add one more drop of glue on top of the pines to hold the Burlap Ribbon knot. I Love my Liquid Glue!!! It does take a bit of extra drying time, but it is permanent and holds projects like this down perfectly. I also use a little wooden stick, like a long tooth pick, to poke my pines into the glue.
I thought this card needed a little something in the space below the saying and the little pine sprig adds a perfect accent. Oh… and don’t forget about the little knot made from our awesome Burlap Ribbon. I Love this ribbon, because I can cut it as wide as I want and simply pull off the nylon string, holding the many lines together. It really is easy to work with!
