I love the Tic Tac Toe Challenges! It is so much fun to pick 3 in a row and create something. I find it really gets me thinking. I hope you will play along. Here’s this week’s challenge board.
I created Tic Tac Toe on the diagonal this week: Blue, Free (Punch/ Die Cut/Ribbon), Celebration.
I have seen a lot of these “fractured cards” on Pinterest and decided to give this technique a try. It is really simple and fun to do. Here are the details:
Measurements:
Card base (Blueberry Bushel): 5 1⁄2” x 8 1⁄2” scored at 4 1⁄4”
DSP (Winter Meadow): 4 x 5 1⁄4, 3⁄4 x 4 (inside layer)
Basic White: 2” square (Stylish Shapes Die), 4 x 5 1⁄4 (inside)
Blueberry Bushel: 4 strips cut 1⁄4” x 5
Garden Green: scrap to punch leaf with Bough Punch
Directions:
- Stamp sentiment on white square and adhere to DSP. Add strips as shown below.
- Turn DSP over and trim the strips with Paper Snips.
- Fold and burnish card base. Adhere DSP layer to card base.
- Add punched leaf and bow using Mini Glue Dots.
- Adhere DSP strip to white layer. Stamp sentiment (or add handwritten message) and adhere inside card.
6. Emboss envelope flap with Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder.
Stamp Set: Layering Leaves
Paper: Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper, Blueberry Bushel, Garden Green, and Basic White cardstock
Ink: Blueberry Bushel
Tools/Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Bough Punch, Elegant Eucalyptus Embossing Folder, Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon, Paper Trimmer, Stampin’ Seal, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots

Thank you Hilda! Hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
I had missed this card. I thought they were harder to make. Looking forward to trying it as a birthday card with the matching little bag. I made over 50 of them for Halloween and even warped the die for cutting the bag! Love your project!
