Happy Thursday! Today is a big milestone for me….it’s my 1,000th blog post!!! For someone who considers herself “technology challenged” this is reason to celebrate! I couldn’t have done it without my amazing daughter who set up my blog and is always patient with me when I call for help. Leave a comment below for a chance to win some blog candy!
It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Today’s card is a fun fold featuring the Beautiful Thistle Bundle.
Here is this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge board.
I chose the bottom row: gems, watercolor, floral
Measurements
- Card Base (Gorgeous Grape): 4 1/4 x 11
- DSP Panels (Highland Heather from Subtles 6×6 Designer Series Paper Assortment): 2 1/8 x 4 3/8, Cut 2 @ 3/4 x 4
- Basic White: Cut 2 @ 7/8 x 4 3/8 (emboss with crosshatch 3D Embossing folder), 4 x 4 1/4 for the back, scrap to stamp and fussy cut sentiment on front
I stamped the flowers on Shimmery White cardstock with Stazon Ink. I used Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape to watercolor the flowers. I love the Stampin’ Up! water painters! They make it so easy to watercolor. Add a few drops of ink refill inside the lid of the ink pads, mix with a water painter, and color. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating dies. The large flower is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the front of my card. I adhered the smaller flower on the back of my card.
You can view the complete list of products used below.
I haven’t made this “stand up” fun fold card in awhile. You can click HERE for the photo tutorial and view two other versions of this card.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project for the Tic Tac Toe challenge and that you’ll check out all the fabulous creations from this week’s design team. We would love to have you join us! The challenge boards are always full of fun elements that will surely spark your creativity. Pick 3 and play along!
