About this design

This present is wrapped in plaid. The box has a lid, and across the front, a grid of squares forms a bold check pattern, like flannel or buffalo check paper. On top, a big looping bow spreads its loops and tails wide. In the layered version, the squares and bow show gold against the green.

The gift is one connected piece with fourteen cut-outs. The squares are large and evenly spaced, so it passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, which becomes the check squares and bow
• Design in green, the box

Cozy projects

• Farmhouse holiday signs.
• Cabin-style gift tags.
• Holiday cards.
• Pillow covers.
• Kids’ shirts.
• Gift card holders.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches tall. The squares are big, so it weeds quickly. For felt, choose 6 inches or more. For a pillow, 12 to 14 inches.

Step by step: buffalo check card

1. Set the gift to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the design layer from red cardstock.
3. Cut the backing from black cardstock, so the squares turn black.
4. Glue the layers together and onto a white card.
5. Tie a strip of jute twine across the lid.

Color ideas

• Green with gold, the classic
• Red with black for buffalo check
• Green with red for tartan
• Gray with white for modern flannel

Design notes

The squares sit in neat rows and columns, which gives the box a bold, graphic pattern. The big bow on top softens the straight lines.

Good to know

For a classic buffalo check, cut the box in red and the backing in black. The squares turn black, and the bow does too, for a bold rustic look. Kraft paper tags and jute twine finish the farmhouse style.

Matching set

Use this gift with the Plaid Stocking from the stocking collection for a matching farmhouse set on cards, signs and gift tags.

Choosing a size

At 4.5 to 5 inches, it fits cards and tags. At 8 to 10 inches, it suits shirts and bags. At 12 inches and up, it works on pillows and signs.
