~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.

I chose to go on the diagonal with embossing, Free, and Pink.
Here’s my card.
Stampin' Up! Bloom Boutique and Eyelet Blooms Die all occasion card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge inspired me to try a new technique. I used the Eyelet Blooms Die to emboss my background. Here is the secret to this technique—Stampin’ Up!’s New Impression Plate.
Stampin' Up! Impressions Plate-use for die cutting and embossing-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Use the Impressions Plate with Impressions Dies for best cutting and embossing results. Adding this plate to your sandwich results in precise die-cut images and detailed embossing. *Directions for both embossing and die cutting are included with the Impressions Plate.

Here’s a picture showing the Eyelets Bloom Die embossed and die cut.

Adding the Impressions Plate to your “sandwich” before running it through your Die Cutting/Embossing Machine will take it from cutting through your paper to simply embossing it. Super simple, right? Here’s the order you’ll want to make your sandwich:

  • Base Plate #1 on the bottom
  • Clear Plate #2
  • Die  *Tip: Place the die with the cutting edge up
  • Cardstock (on top of die)
  • Impressions Plate
  • Plate #4 (Gray – used for 3D embossing) on top

It is so cool how it looks like it is quilted!

Today’s card is another one of my “go to” designs from my Just Stampin’ Sketchbook. You can create it with any embossing folder, patterned paper, circle punch (or die), stamped sentiment, and ribbon. I used the 2 3/8 Circle Punch with the Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Barely Blush cardstock & ribbon (one of the NEW 2026-20228 In Colors).Stampin' Up!

I hope you’ll head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see what the other Design Team Members created. Then Pick 3 and play along! It’s so much fun and easy to do!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

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

~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

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.
Stampin' Up! Wetlands and With You In Mind Birthday slimline card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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.

Card Supplies/Measurements:

Stamp Sets: Wetlands, With You In Mind
Card base (Misty Moonlight): 6 x 7 scored at 3 1/2 (for 3 1/2 x 6 card)
Designer Series Paper (Thoughtful Journey): 5 3/4 x 3 1/4
Basic White: 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 (inside)
Tools/Embellishments: Stylish Shapes Dies, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds

The mini slimline card fits in a standard (3 5/8 x 6 1/2) business envelope.
I stamped the front of the envelope to coordinate.
