Happy Friday! It’s TGIF time. I’m taking a turn for this week’s TGIF and I have a project for you today that uses some of our BotaniCuts dies that were released this fall, but today I’m giving them a holiday twist.
[imagelinks id=”196″]
I’ve been thinking about the mushrooms from the BotaniCuts Toadstool Garden and how fun it would be to glitter them up for a snowy woodland holiday card. I also added in a couple of acorns from our BotaniCuts Mighty Oak die, and pine sprigs cut with the BotaniCuts Pine Bough.
I also scattered in some small snowflakes using the Frosty Corners die. I glittered everything up using the glass glitter from the Hug in a Mug Embellishment kit.
I layered all of my woodland diecuts over a wood slice, cut of course using our Wood Slices die. I inked that up with some Distress Oxide inks. I layered that over a buffalo plaid background that was created with our Square Dance die and Stencil – such a fun and quick way to create a pretty background! I diecut the Square Dance die from burgundy cardstock, sponged it with black ink using the stencil, and layered it over a red card base – instant buffalo plaid! I finished it off with a sentiment from the Sentiment Suite: Christmas set.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this holiday twist on these autumn products! So fun to change things up and just play with different ideas!

Love your card… this is one I will have to try
I like the warmth of the card with the buffalo plaid and wood slice. I don’t have the botanicut mushroom die but I might try Katie’s cuties with the mushroom or the moose in the set might work. Thank you for the idea Betsy, have a lovely day!
Fantastic card! I love the woodsy feel and the buffalo plaid background reminds me of a warm flannel shirt. The entire design of the card makes me feel cozy.
VERY EARTHY & BEAUTIFUL, Betsy! THIS is about what I was thinking for my Christmas Cards this year! ;)LOVE that Buffalo Plaid & OF COURSE, the other elements you used on this! I see I “need” one more item though! Will there be another release THIS MONTH???? Planning ahead!!! THANKS BETSY!!! ;)<3
Good morning Betsy! What a wonderful way to start the day with one of your designs! Living in Florida, I’m not one to design a tropical Christmas card but have never tried the woodsy feel either. I love how you bring everything outdoors, ‘inside’.Your mushrooms are so pretty and I got a chuckle with your buffalo plaid recipe! Waalaa! Thank you for the inspiration and hope you have a great weekend! 😊
This is so beautiful, Betsy!!
Buffalo plaid, yes please! I received my wood slice die recently and now you have shown how wonderful it looks at center stage. I love it! Thanks for the inspiration…
Nature elements on Buffalo plaid with some wintry touches brings Christmas to light in a very striking way. Lovely!
Love this Betsy! and I have all of the dies accept for the snowflakes! Love when that happens! Yay for me!!
Oh, Betsy, your card is beautiful. I love when you bring together a variety of elements from different sets. Everything works so gorgeous together. Have a wonderful and safe weekend.

Oh Betsy, what a fabulous combination of your beautiful stamp/die sets. I LOVE the buffalo plaid background and the Woodslice-Toadstool Garden-Mighty Oak-Pine Bough focal point!!
Really love this card! Such a pretty take on the mushrooms. Love what you did with the wood slice and the great Square Dance background. Thanks for sharing your inspiring project!
Absolutely beautiful. I adore the toadstools and the wood background. I really love the plaid background. I am waiting for delivery of my toadstool die but my wish list just got a whole lot longer. I hope Santa has a bigger sleigh 😁
