BBQ Master Bundle Window Card with Bold Plaid Background

This card feels like a backyard BBQ and I am here for it! There’s something about that pop of red plaid paired with the grill that just screams summer birthdays and easy, fun crafting.

This card starts with a Secret Sea card base and an additional embossed layer using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. That subtle texture adds just enough interest while still letting the focal point shine. The circle window, cut with the Stylish Shapes dies, gives a peek at that bold red plaid Designer Series Paper from the Cute As a Bug DSP pack—and it really becomes part of the design instead of just sitting in the background.

The grill is stamped in Poppy Parade for a bright, eye-catching focal point, with the food stamped in Pecan Pie for a realistic touch. The utensils in Smoky Slate and the sauce in Timid Tiger add just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the design. The sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea on a simple strip, and the Natural Matte Dots finish it off with a clean, subtle accent.

When using a window element like this, choose a bold patterned paper behind it. It fills the space beautifully and saves you from needing to add extra layers or embellishments.

The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
