Thoughtful Journey Mini Slimline Birthday Card for Tic Tac Toe #290

~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Welcome to Tic Tac Toe Thursday! This week’s challenge board was created by my friend, Rosanne. It has some fun elements to pick from.www.tictactoechallenge.com
I used 6 of the elements and created Tic Tac Toe 3 ways: across the top, down the middle, and on the diagonal from top left to bottom right.

I created a mini slimline card for my son’s birthday this week.

If you follow my blog you know I love to create birthday cards to coordinate with the gifts.  My son got his present early this year (and with over 30″ of snow he appreciated it!!). This card is a subtle reminder of his “Canada Goose” coat. LOL

I used the retired Wetlands stamp set to stamp the goose on a piece of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. Then I cut out a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I layered this on another circle cut from the Spotlight on Nature Dies and popped it up on the card  the “hole” I cut out) with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This is a quick and easy technique to “spotlight” a focal image.

Fragrant Layers Corner Flip Card for Tic Tac Toe #289

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

Happy Thursday! I am honored to be the designer for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week. I had so much fun creating with this week’s board!www.juststampin.com
I love it when I can use multiple elements from the board and create Tic Tac Toe several different ways. I went across the top, down the left side, and both ways on the diagonal using 7 of the 9 elements. This is such a fun and creative challenge!!! What 3 will you pick? I love fun folds so I knew I would be starting there! Here’s my card.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers Corner Flip pop up fun fold card idea for any occasion with Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This fun fold card is a corner flip pop up card. It is so much fun and easy to create! You start with a piece of 6 3/4 x 8 Designer Series Paper. I used the Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! With just a couple of score lines and a simple fold over to match up the score lines, you can create this card to WOW your friends & family.

The designer series paper and flowers from Stampin’ Up!’s Fragrant Layers stamp set remind me of Spring.  I used a simple coloring technique with watercolor pencils and Wink of Stella.
Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers Corner Flip pop up fun fold card idea for any occasion with heat embossing technique-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I heat embossed the floral image with Gold Embossing Powder. After coloring, I die cut the image with a rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered a ribbon bow to the front of the card with a Mini Glue Dot.

Here’s how the corner pops up to open.

I left the inside blank for now as this card can be used for many different occasions.

I used the DSP to make my coordinating envelope.
