I was looking for some basic houndstooth paper for a while and darn it, I couldn’t find any! So I decided I would make some myself and make them EXACTLY the way I wanted. Here are a few projects made with my new Shabby Houndstooth papers available at Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff:
Here is a look at the papers, the Shabby Houndstooth paper pack has a lightly distressed and textured look and the pattern is smaller, while the Uptown Houndstooth pack had a clean bold look with a larger print. All paper in both packs are 12″x12″ at 300 dpi and they are on sale for $2.50 each!
To print my papers to scale on my 8.5″x11″ printer I selected “8.5”x11″ borderless” then clicked “center on page” and made sure the scaling box said 100%. You can print it smaller if you like too, it is digital so it is up to you! I also used Digital stamp from the Love Grows here set on this page and a cute SVG photo mat from Mujka Design that you can cut with your Cricut if you have SCAL software. I used my Cricut to cut the scalloped mat on the card and the woven heart valentine pocket, you can get that SVG in the Sweet Treat SVG set. The stamp on the card is also from the Love Grows here set.
And now for the freebie! I got a little wild making some papers the other day and I thought my blog readers could use a little bit of funkyness so here are some funky woodgrain papers for ya, enjoy!
Now lets see what my DT has been up to this week, be sure to swing by their blogs and leave them some love:)
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

Thanks for those BIC coloring tips! I love my BICs, but I can’t always get all the shades I want. I’m going to try this out.

Lindsay, that is amazing how you were able to color the cherry so well with the Bics. I would have thought
you used Copics if you hadn’t told me otherwise. Great job. Thanks for the free papers too.

Wow – you did a fab job with the mark-its! I finally broke mine out of their unopened package to compliment my Copics as I don’t have all the colors. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised at how well the color laid down and how similar to copics they are…so yep – I’d back you when asking Bic to make pastel colors! My next question – will Sharpies work the same as Bics since I have some of those too? Hmm – perhaps a little experiment is in order. 🙂
