 Hey stampers, welcome to watch it weekly Wednesday I'm Aubrey Paxton a part of the stamp and Jill creative team and today I wanted to share with you a stamp that is in the annual catalog Sometimes I feel like when the holiday catalog comes out We get so excited and so focused on it that we tend to forget some of the things That are so great in our annual catalog So I just wanted to bring that in and show you a fun idea Using a stamp that's in there the stamp I wanted to show you is the Buffalo check background stamp. This is an awesome stamp It we had it came out last year, so it's been around, but sometimes I think it's great to have a refresher It's still very on trend, especially in the holiday season the fall season as you can see in Clothing in design. It's kind of all over the place So I wanted to just show you some ideas using that and how you can kind of incorporate it into some of your holiday card making so first I wanted to Show you a tip on how to use the Buffalo check stamp and not only this one But really any background stamp you can use this one. So this is what it looks like This is a wood-mounted one. You can also get it in the clear mount So I am just going to take it out here and I'm gonna ink it up with our Memento black and it is So big it kind of takes a minute to ink, but once you get it all inked up. It'll Be super great So cute Okay, and then I'm gonna do red so like my shirt We're gonna do red paper and I'm just gonna set the paper right on top of My stamp my big background stamp and then I'm gonna take just a piece of plain white copy paper and Just rub right on there To get the ink to transfer This is a great way to make sure that you get The stamp straight on a piece of paper because it's so big It's kind of hard to always be able to see underneath So this way, you know, you're stamping straight So then I'm just gonna peel that off Look how cute that is so much fun. I Love Buffalo check. So let me show you some of the ideas I've come up with using some of those holiday stamps with the Buffalo check This stamp is actually using the winter woods stamp set from the annual catalog. I just stamped these cute Birch looking trees in the background and a pine tree and Very simple, but a cute you could use it for a masculine card But just a cute one for this time of year and then I used this the snow front stamp set That's in the holiday catalog this year and I just did a cute kind of black Scene there with the Buffalo check in the back and then I used this cute Christmas paper from the snowman season stamps set the suite that comes with that and the Merry Christmas And then I actually made this one a little card holder so you could put a gift card in there So cute so three very different looking styles, but all Incorporating that Buffalo check that it can really just go with anything and the nice thing is you can do it in any color or On in black on a different color. It's so versatile and so nice It's kind of a staple to have at this time of year So if you have any questions or if you want to share any of your ideas that you've done using the Buffalo check stamp set We'd love to see that make sure you visit our blog at stamp and Jill comm and we'll see you next time for another watch
