Beautiful Thistle for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #201

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.

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.

More Memories & More In Color Cards

I really like the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. You get 10 cards & envelopes in the pack (2 each of the 2020-2022 In Colors). I have shared several different card ideas using these. Today’s cards feature Magenta Madness with the True Love Designer Series  Paper and Cinnamon Cider with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

Which color do you prefer? Here’s a look at each one.
Stampin' Up! Happy Thoughts Thinking of You card idea with Stitched So Sweetly Dies and True Love Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The True Love Designer Series Paper looks so good with the bright Magenta Madness Card. You can’t go wrong with black & white and a pop of color!  The sentiment is from Happy Thoughts and cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I cut several dies and layered the sentiment to really make it pop.
Stampin' Up! Happy Thoughts Thinking of You card idea with Stitched So Sweetly Dies and True Love Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I really like the look of the stitched die with the dots on the card. Another great thing about these cards is the envelopes are coordinated.

The Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Cinnamon Cider card. I adhered the DSP strips to Petal Pink then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up on the card base.
Stampin' Up! Sweet Ice Cream birthday card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink and added layers using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies like the first card.
