I love plaid, plain and simple. I have a hard time disposing of those tiny strips of 6" dsp when you cut it down to make a card, so I save them for projects like this. I used stitched square and stitched rectangle dies to make this card. I stamped the smiley face with an ancient stamp I bought when I first got into stamping so long ago. I used a tiny circle punch on those faces and put them in the centers of each square, then added a Lil Inker die-cut "smile" which is logical for all those little smiley faces, right? The inside is stamped with "A smile is a gift you give to everyone." I couldn't stop smiling after I put this card together, so I made a few more...
I used a big assortment of plaid dsp and cardstock snippets to make each of these. I think I'll make a bunch more and send them off to "cards for hospitalized kids" because they can certainly use a reminder to smile.
I'm entering my card into the Cute Card Thursday challenge #547 which is dies and punches. (I was lucky enough to win this challenge last week, woot!)
I'm also entering over at the Snippets Playground challenge #335 which is always to use snippets.
Thanks for stopping by and as I greet you with a big smile, I hope you'll pass it on :)

These are all super cute and how fun, Carol! Love the different patterns and colors but that little smiley face is what makes these cards stand out! They will certainly bring a smile to whomever receives one! Cute, cute, cute! :)
Carol, these are absolutely ADORABLE! I know what you mean about not wanting to use up those plaid papers and I have a hard time just using things and letting it go which is why I have too many things!! LOL! I love that sentiment you've put on the inside as well! These cards are making me smile! :) Thanks for sharing! HUGS
These are adorable! I need to CASE this idea... I have so many scraps that I don't want to throw away, but haven't used... LOL
