Arched Sunflowers for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #277

It’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.
www.tictactoechallenge.com
I went on the diagonal this week with Red, Free, and Yellow.Stampin" Up! Arched Shaped Sunflower card with sunflower 3D embossing folder-jeanie Stark StampinUp
I often get asked where I get the inspiration for some of the projects I create! I find inspiration in different places. I really love the Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Even though it is considered a “challenge”, I find it so easy to just pick 3 (or more) elements from the board and most of the time just seeing the items in front of me triggers the creative process and ideas just start to evolve. I also like sketches! Choose a design, grab some cardstock /DSP/stamp set, etc. that you have and use the sketch to put it all together. When I feel like I’ve lost my “mojo” (it happens to all of us), I go to Pinterest for ideas! Often when I start to recreate a project I like it ends up totally different as just creating anything tends to jumpstart your creativity! And then there are times when inspiration is delivered…

When I received this catalog in the mail I knew I wanted to recreate the cover using Stampin’ Up!’s Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and Everyday Arches Dies. (I even had the gold bee embellishments!!) This was so much fun!!!

I created the card base using the largest arch die. You get 10 different sizes in the set!
Stampin' Up! Everyday Arches Dies-visit juststampin.com for handmade inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Add curviness to your cards, scrapbooks, and other paper crafts with the Everyday Arches Dies. This die set has multiple sizes of a classic arch shape. Stamp a greeting or image inside the arch or layer several sizes in different colors for a dimensional look. You can also combine two dies to cut a solid arch, then fill the inside with a die-cut piece of patterned paper to create a picture window.

To create an arch shaped card using the largest die, fold your card base in half. Then with the fold on the left side make sure the die is just slightly over the fold line when you run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.


I cut a piece of white cardstock with the same arched die then embossed it and colored using my Stampin’ Blends before glueing it to the front of the card. To create the gold arch I cut the largest die and the 3rd largest die together. *Use removable tape or a sticky note to hold them together when running it through the die cut machine. Thats all there is to it! Lastly, I adhered the bee embellishments with liquid glue. I often wait to add my sentiment until I’m ready to send the card. This card could be used for so many different occasions. I love having cards like this on hand for when you need a card quick!

Where do you find inspiration? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below.

I hope you will check out what the rest of the design team created for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge. We would love for you to pick 3 and play along. If you have any questions feel free to reach out!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

It’s Thursday which means it’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Here’s a look at this week’s board.

When I saw the first box at the top I knew immediately what I wanted to create and what products to grab. Here’s my card.Stampin' Up! Chhers & Sips Fun Fold birthday card idea with Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I went straight across the top row for my Tic Tac Toe: Beverage, die cuts, soft colors. This card features one of Stampin’ Up’s newest Online Exclusives, The Celebratory Suites Collection. I used the Cheers & Sips Bundle, Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, and the Glass Embossing Folder on today’s card. I love these new products!!!

The Cheers & Sips Bundle is a fun take on congratulations and celebration cards and paper projects. Use the stamps and dies together to create drink glasses in a sophisticated line-art style. Customize your drinks with the variety of garnishes and finish it off with the Cheers sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie stark StampinUp
Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper Colors: Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Bubble Bath, Cloud Cover, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger

The Celebratory Sips 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper features fruit, flowers, and summer-inspired drink designs. Infuse your crafts with whimsical watercolors, fruity florals, and garnishes galore.

I fussy cut the drinks from the DSP and covered the glasses using my fine-tip glue. It gives it a glossy realistic look for some added dimension and fun.
