Tell me - what are your feelings on buffalo check? Do you think it's the warmest, coziest, most perfect print for fall and winter? And is it extra fabulous when it's mixed with black, white, red, and kraft? If you said yes, then you and I can still be friends. (Alright fine, we can still be friends either way, because I adore you!)

I am smitten with this buffalo check stencil. It's an easy way to add some buffalo check goodness to your handmade cards and crafts. These two coordinating projects came together easily, with a bold winter color palette, plus a few stamps, papers, and that darling stencil! (Find more buffalo check goodness here!)
To create the Peace on Earth card:
- Sponge red ink over the buffalo check stencil (or any stencil you love) onto white cardstock.
- Trim the panel down, mat it on black cardstock, and adhere to a kraft card base. Easy peasy so far, yes?
- Next, stamp and heat emboss that GORGEOUS sentiment onto kraft cardstock. (Don't you love the distressed texture of the solid area on that stamp? It stamps SO beautifully!)
- Die cut or trim stamped sentiment. Be sure to check out the coordinating Special Day dies - they match this stamp set, but can also be used on their own for tags and cards!
- Assemble the card together, and add a few enamel dots for an aqua POP.
- Start by die cutting the Gift Card Pouch, onto kraft cardstock. (It's really simple!)
- Trim a small panel of patterned paper. No Christmas paper? Look for black or red dots, stripes, or something similar in your paper stash.
- Mat printed paper with red cardstock and adhere to pocket.
- Stamp and heat emboss sentiment onto a diecut circle, and adhere along with some sparkly washi tape, die cut holly leaves, and a twine bow!
There's something about black, white, red, and kraft for holiday decor and crafts. I just love it. But I love AQUA so much too - so the pop of aqua on these projects just makes my heart happy. Color is EVERYTHING to me! Are you doing any holiday crafting? I'd love to see what you're up to! Shoot me a link in the comments, and I will be sure to stop by and visit!
