Do you like Gingham? This is my final inspiration using gingham… but, did you see what else I made?
Check them out here!
Have you seen my gingham ideas using the recent release at Ellen Hutson? I shared a gingham card using a modern masculine style, which you can see HERE. Next was a gingham critter idea which you can see HERE and then what to do with ‘leftover’ gingham HERE and also a die cut background HERE … so what is it all about today?
Gingham Idea #5 – Basic Background!
PRO TIP: To make the background I used the Skinny Stripes Stamp, it’s a huge background that creates ‘gingham’ in just 2 stamps!
You really can’t go wrong with a gingham background. Here, it just helps to add that little something extra to a very clean and simple card. I used the Classic Alpha Dies to create my sentiment, but you can use whatever sentiments you have!
and I did also add a cute little chick from the Sweet Spring Combo… seriously, I couldn’t help myself lol.
BONUS IDEA: Why not personalise the design by adding a name or age?
This is my final ‘gingham’ design in this series. I hope you have enjoyed this inspiration and are inspired to try creating something with ‘gingham’. I’ll be back real soon, Crafty hugs,

Gingham is such a classic and so much fun to create with. Thank you Carolyn!
Thank goodness I saved a stack of gingham papers! The themes you have used with gingham are perfect!
the Gingham pattern is a classic to me and I could never throw them out either. I am so happy you were inspired, hope you have fun creating Christy!
Oh that chick… so CUTE! This is a delightful spring card!
Thank you Lisa, I am glad there was a coordinating die, i wouldn’t have wanted to fussy cut that and the eggs lol.

Fabulous! of course you made all your own gingham paper! perhaps I can kill two birds with one stone so to say and use up some of my paper stash 😉 I really love the blue/white combo.
