I send a lot of birthday cards and look for versatile stamp sets with different sentiments.

Clean & Simple for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #14

September 7, 2017September 7, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 13 Comments

This week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge is as easy as ABC! Check it out!

I bet you don’t need 3 chances to guess who designed this week’s challenge board! I love my ABC themes, even when it comes to Tic Tac Toe. I really hope you will play along this week! It’s so simple and fun to just pick 3 and create. I chose the left row going down: acetate, dimension, gold.

Navy and gold are a classic color combination. I love the font in the Stylized Birthday stamp! This single stamp is probably the most used stamp in my collection. It works on the front of a card or the inside. I heat embossed it in gold on a 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 piece of cardstock and layered it on gold foil that’s 1/8″ larger. I adhered the sentiment layer to the acetate with dimensionals then used Fast Fuse to adhere the acetate to my card. I do not usually do it in this order; however, once you add the sentiment you can see where to put the adhesive on the back of the acetate so you don’t see it.

This clean & simple card can be adapted for so many different occasions. Just change the sentiment and you could make this a thank you card, wedding, thinking of you, etc. Here’s another one I made using Tranquil Tide cardstock and the Watercolor Christmas stamp set.

The star of these projects is the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate. You get 6 12 x 12 sheets in a pack: 2 each of 3 single-sided designs. The acetate sheets have gold foil on one side; silver foil on the other.

Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate Item # 141653

I wish you could see these in person…the acetate makes these cards so rich and elegant. And the best part is they are so simple and fun to make. (You know how I love to heat emboss!) What color will you make?

Stamp Sets: Stylized Birthday, Watercolor Christmas Papers: Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide, Fabulous Foil Acetate, Gold Foil Ink: VersaMark Tools & Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Gold Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals

Have a wonderful day!

A Birthday Fun Fold for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #8

Fun fold birthday card using Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper and Stylized Birthday Stamp Set from Stampin Up. For inspiration, directions, and products visit my blog www.juststampin.com.

July 27, 2017August 2, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 14 Comments

I am excited to share my card for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week’s board was designed by my talented friend, Susan Itell.

It’s all about shapes for me this week. I chose the far left row going down: rectangle, circle, square. I created this fun fold birthday card.

I made a square card. The DSP has circle designs which I used to cut a rectangle to layer on the front. The sentiment is stamped on a square piece of cardstock cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. How easy it that to pick 3 and play along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge?! I hope you will join the fun!

This fun fold is a double Z fold design. Here’s how I made it…

I started with 2 strips of cardstock. The base piece is cut at 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. The top strip with the sentiment is cut at 7 x 2 3/4 and scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. The DSP layers for the base measure 1 7/8 x 4 (on front) and 4 x 4 (back right). The senitments are stamped on a 2 1/2″ square and 1 7/8 x 2 1/2. The last piece of DSP measures 1 7/8 x 2 1/2.

Apply glue to the back of the smaller strip (behind the DSP section only) and adhere to the center of the DSP on the card base.

Open the smaller Z fold to the right and close the front of the card base with the DSP panel. Apply glue just along the edges as shown and fold to close and adhere.

I added a bow from the 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows and some Pearl Basic Jewels.

The DSP from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper coordinates together nicely. Here’s a view of what the opened card looks like from above. I like this fun fold!

This card fits in a standard envelope or you could make a custom envelope using the Envelope Punch Board. Be sure to click on over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog and see what the design team and others created and play along. Link your card to this week’s challenge and see if you become a Designer’s Choice or Team Pick – then grab a badge!
