This fun kit, designed to coordinate with the October Paper Pumpkin Kit (Pining For Plaid), is filled with these darling holiday stockings. The kit as is, is super fun and easy to complete.

If you're looking for other ways to use the Back in Plaid KIt. I have several note cards to share with you today - see below!
Back in Plaid Alternate Ideas
All four card use the Note Cards & Envelopes for the card base. Most of them the stamping was done on a 4-7/8" x 3-3/8" Whisper White panel.
Merry & Bright Tree Note Card
- The tree image in the stamp set is fairly small and I wanted to create something a little larger
- Using Old Olive ink, I stamped the tree 4 times (start with top tree, then turn stamp to stamp 2nd tree upside down connecting the two trees together. Then stamp the 3rd & 4th tree on both sides of the 2nd tree (upside right).
- Practice on a piece of scrap to get the hang of it...you'll love it!
- Cherry Cobbler ink (from October's PP Kit) for the greeting
Clean & Simple Joy Note Card
- Adhere gold banner (from October's PP kit) to Whisper White panel (top edge is about 2" from bottom). Trim off excess banner (from right edge)
- Stamp leaf images with Old Olive ink, stars & "line burst" (image from October PP's kit) with Cherry Cobbler (also from October's PP kit).
- Stamp joy with Cherry Cobbler ink on Whisper White 1-3/8" Stitched Shapes Framelit circle. Adhere to card along with leaf die.
- Staple length of twine to card and tie in a bow. Adhere completed panel to Note Card base.
Mistletoe Joy Note Card
- Stamp leaves & stars with Cherry Cobbler ink (from October PP's kit) on Whisper White panel.
- Stamp joy & star on leftover die cut tag., adhere to Cherry Cobbler banner. Adhere to panel.
- Cut apart a stocking along the seam edges. Trim away a piece measuring approximately 3" x 1". Banner flag one end and "pleat-fold" the strip. Then attach a piece of twine with stapler (which also holds the pleats together), and tie in a bow. Adhere to card with several glue dots.
- Attach leaf die cut with glue dots.
Snowflake Wreath Note Card
- Die cut a Whisper White 2-7/8" circle using Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies
- Using Old Olive ink, repeatedly stamp snowflake image around the edge. I stamped twice each time before reinking.
- Using Cherry Cobbler ink (from October PP's kit), stamp star (for berries) and greeting in center (dotted with a star).
- Adhere completed wreath to folded Note Card with Stampin' Dimensionals
- Wrap twine around card front and tie in a bow.
