Doesn’t this card make you want to put on your favorite flannel shirt and sit around a fire-pit roasting marshmallows and drinking hot cocoa? The buffalo check background gives this card it’s ambiance.
The Buffalo Check background stamp from Stampin’ Up! is an old favorite of mine. I stamped it onto a stitched rectangle die-cut piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to make the background layer.
The textured tree die-cut was cut from Shimmery White cardstock using a die from the In the Woods Dies. The dies coordinate with the Winter Woods stamp set.
I also grabbed a snowflake image from the Freezin’ Fun stamp set and heat embossed snowflakes onto the black oval on the card front using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I did the same with the sentiment.
Here is the replay of today’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live where I demonstrated how to put this card together.

Using different stamps with different patterns and colors can set the mood of a card. Today’s card is putting off a “cabin in the woods” kind of vibe. I hope it inspires you to think about the spirit you are trying to convey with your project.
