Building A Sailboat for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #209

May 18, 2023May 18, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

This week at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge, I am the featured designer. Here is the challenge board I created.
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #209- vist juststampin.com for inspiration and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I started out intending to create a simple card going across the top row with: Decorate Envelope, Patterned Paper, Any Shape. Well, as is usually the case when I’m creating, my project evolves and changes throughout the process.

It’s still a pretty simple card; however, it has several layers and lots of texture! My card has 8 of the 9 elements from the challenge board so I decided I needed to go “all in” and created an origami sailboat to coordinate (Anything But A Card). I had so much fun creating these sailboats I ended up making a whole fleet. (LOL)

I used 3″, 4″, and 5″ squares of DSP to create these. I love the mini 3″ version but the only place I could fit a lifesaver was in between the sail. (LOL) The simple sailboat makes Tic Tac Toe all by itself going down the middle: Patterned Paper, Free, Anything But A Card! How cool is that?!

This card and sailboat is for a friend of mine who loves sailing! She recently had a double lung transplant and is doing remarkably well!! It’s really a miracle to behold! I thought the “lifesavers” were a fitting treat to put in the sailboats. She is looking forward to sailing again once she’s fully recovered. For now we can enjoy watching the Friday night sailing races along the shore.

Here are the details if you would like to create this card.

Card Base – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (Thick Basic White)

Layer 1 – 3 3/4 x 5 (Poppy Parade)

Layer 2 – 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP)
Layer 3 – 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 banner (Poppy Parade)

Layer 4 – 2 x 4 1/4 strip (Poppy Parade)

Layer 5 – 1 7/8 x 4 1/4 striped DSP (Boho Blue from In Color DSP Assortment)
Layer 6 – 2 1/2″ Stitched Circle cut from Stylish Shapes (Blueberry Bushel)
Layer 7 – 2 3/8″ Punched Circle embossed with waves (Boho Blue)

Sailboat-Punched with Sailboat Builder Punch in Basic White and Pecan Pie
Sail is stamped with sentiment from Go To Greetings in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I used Thick Bakers Twine to create the nautical knot along the top of the banner.
Banner, strip across the middle, and Circle Layer are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I knew I wanted to use this stamp set to make a Valentine card for my grand nephew. One of my favorite gifts to give (to both kids and adults) is books. What kind of card do you make to give with a book?….a book fold card (of course)!

I enjoy making cards to coordinate with gifts. The book cover was the inspiration for my card.

FYI…If you are a grandma (or have a friend who is) this book would be a wonderful gift for young grandchildren! The book is available from Amazon. I am not a grandma yet (hopefully one day) but I do get to enjoy my sister’s adorable grandson. I love that he loves books! I know my sister will read this one with him again and again! So it’s really a gift for both of them.

Coloring with Stampin’ Blends brought this adorable owl to life. I found the perfect colors to match the book cover from the 2022-2024 In Colors, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis.

Making A CASE with Ginkgo Branch

January 18, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

Have you browsed through the new Mini Catalog? It is filled with fun new products and so many great ideas! I needed to make several sympathy cards and when I saw this beautiful card idea (on page 57) in the new Mini Catalog I decided to CASE it. CASE simply means to Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit.
Stampin' Up! Ginkgo Branch slimline sympathy card idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I selectively edited a few things! Here’s the details for this slimline card:

Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock – 7 x 8 1/2, scored at 3 1/2 for card base
Very Vanilla – 3 3/8 x 8 3/8 heat embossed using background stamp and clear embossing powder, scrap to stamp sentiment and cut with Stylish Shapes Die
Shimmery White Cardstock – die cut Ginkgo Branch flower dies (2 large, 3 small)
Polished Pink cardstock – die cut circle with Stylish Shapes Die
Simply Elegant Trim – ~18 in.

The sample card in the catalog used the Chic Dies to add a textured layer behind the flowers. Instead, I used a retired stamp (En Francais), stamped it with VersaMark, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I love the subtle texture it adds in the background.

It’s been awhile since I watercolored and I love the new Water Painters! I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, Polished Pink, Melon Mambo, and Pear Pizzazz to color the flowers. *Note- you do not want to pick up ink directly from the Stampin’ Pads. Just add a few drops of ink refills inside the lids of the Stamping’ Pads for a pallet to use with the water painters.

The Ginkgo Branch Bundle caught my eye right away in the new catalog! It is so different from other flower stamps and dies I have and can be used for many different occasions.

Have a great day!
