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

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.

    I love to give little treats (especially for Valentine’s Day). I stamped and punched an extra bee to adhere to the honey jar. Then I stamped the sentiment and cut it apart to adhere to the lid with Mini Glue Dots. I also added a punched heart. The jar is filled with honey filled candy…perfect to go with this sweet valentine card!
