Bright Wishes Stamp Set – Just Stampin'

Welcome to the second week of our Tic Tac Toe Challenge. Congrats to last week’s winners and a huge thanks to all who participated! I love this week’s challenge board designed by Corinne Blake! I enjoyed playing with gray and yellow as they are one of my favorite color combos!

This challenge is so much fun and easy to do! Pick 3 boxes in a row across, down, or diagonal and create using those elements. I made a “t” this week (you know me and the alphabet!!!) by choosing the elements down the middle and across the middle.

It was easy to create with the 3 elements across the middle of the board… birthday, gray, and yellow. All I had to do was add a die cut butterfly (which I heat embossed with clear embossing powder) and I had the elements going down the middle. (I couldn’t get a good photo of the embossing but trust me it adds a little shine and texture to the card.) I popped up the DSP layer and the butterfly with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the banner in Smoky Slate on a piece of 3/4 x 4″ Very Vanilla.

I love this beautiful Designer Series Paper, Whole Lot of Lovely.

The print I chose reminded me of a lovely memory with my daughter…she loved to pick dandelions, make a wish, and blow the seeds.

(That baby doll never left her arms day or night!)

The sentiment I chose is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. It has lots of great sentiments and a fun font!

I used the Happy Birthday sentiment on the inside panel paired with a stamp from the Bright Wishes stamp set.

I hope this card inspires you to pick 3 (or more) and play along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

The wishing well reminds me of my childhood. We had a wishing well in the middle of our side lawn and it served as second base for many kickball and softball games. I remember tossing pennies in the well and making a wish! Here’s a photo of me standing by our wishing well when I was 5.

I couldn’t resist using a penny to hold my card “upright”. Here’s the details how to make this unique fun fold.

My card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. The DSP is from Delightful Daisy. My pieces measure 4 x 5 1/4 and 4 x 2 1/2. The stamped panel is 3 x 4 layered with 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Basic Black.

I liked it in the black and white but then decided to color it using the watercolor pencils and blender pen.

Which way do you like it…black & white or colored?

Here’s the side view.

This really is quick & easy to make. Just make sure when adhering your stamped panel you only put adhesive on the bottom half. I attached the penny with a Stampin’ Dimensional to hold the card upright. You could easily stamp a sentiment and pop it up to hold your panel. I chose to stamp my sentiment on the back for this card.

I really like the sentiments in this set…the different choices make it versatile for many occasions.
