Peace on Earth for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #20

October 19, 2017January 6, 2018 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 18 Comments

It’s Thursday so that means it’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Using the challenge board to choose my elements made this project easy. Let’s face it, we spend more time trying to come up with card ideas than it takes to make the card. Let the challenge board do the “thinking” for you. Here’s my card.

Here’s this week’s board:

I chose to go down the left side: peace, metallic thread, white and by adding some rhinestones I also made tic tac toe on the diagonal: peace, Free, rhinestones. It really is so much fun and easy to create using the challenge board. Give it a try!!!

I love to make fun fold cards and this one is actually the first fun fold style I ever made. (You can see my first fun fold card below.) This style card is really easy to make and doesn’t take a lot of products to put together. You need a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of cardstock for the base of the card and a 4 x 5 1/4 layer for the inside of the card. You also need 2 pieces of 4 x 3 DSP and then any shape to put on the front of the card. Here’s how to put it all together.

Fold both 4 x 3 pieces of DSP up to the middle to create a point. Make sure you don’t overlap. Add a bit of glue to keep the folded pieces closed and then fold up/over.

Adhere the folded flaps to the top and bottom of the inside layer then adhere to the card base.

You can make this card with any shape added to the front. The Carols of Christmas Stamp Set was an easy choice for the “Peace” element for my card. I love this sentiment and the large font! I stamped it using Tranquil Tide ink and cut it out using the Layering Squares Framelits. I added Silver Metallic Thread and a folded piece of ribbon behind the sentiment before adhering to the scalloped layer. It’s hard to tell in the photo but I used Clear Wink of Stella to add a little glimmer to the sentiment.

Make sure when you adhere the stamped image to the card you just put adhesive on the top flap (close to the point) so you can open the card. The inside sentiment is from Star of Light Stamp Set. I added a rhinestone to the center of the star on the inside.

I added DSP to the envelope to coordinate with my card.

I hope you will play along with this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge. You can click Here to see what the other designers created this week to inspire you.

Here is the first fun fold card I did years ago before I had a blog. My friend, Susan Itell, featured it on her blog. You can see how you can use different shapes on the front.

Many thanks to all who left comments on my blog yesterday! The winner of yesterday’s card is rept08. Email me (j.stark@myactv.net) your address and I will pop the card in the mail to you. I’d love to give away more cards! Simpy leave me a comment and I will pick a random winner to send today’s card.

Have a wonderful day!

I left a piece of my heart in Georgia earlier this week. I am finally home after moving my daughter back to college, watching the eclipse, and dealing with 16 hours of traffic, construction, and several accidents on the drive home! I need some stamping therapy!

I made this little box for my daughter. I tucked it in with her stuff for her to find after we left.

I’ve made little boxes like this before. They can hold a Rocher chocolate or in this case, a big Hershey kiss! You can click HERE to see the previous post with the measurements and tutorial. I changed it up a bit this time and punched two holes at the top to thread the ribbon through to tie a bow. You could just as easily add a library clip or binder clip.

I chose elements from this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge board. I hope you will pick 3 and play! I went down the left column: love, gold, die cut.

The beautiful gold foil paper is from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper, the heart die cut is from the Wood Crate Framelits, and the sentiment is from the new Labels to Love Stamp Set (available Sept. 1).

I knew once I got back home there would be so much to catch up on. Needless to say I am late posting for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge. Here’s this week’s challenge board.

I decided to go down the far right row: all things round, stacked sentiment, and plants. My card is a simple thank you card but could be used for any occasion. There’s a sneak peek for you too…the new Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper which will be available in the holiday catalog next month!

This simple card is one of those layouts you could use again and again and it would look different each time by just changing the DSP, coordinating colors, and sentiment. I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits and Layering Circles Framelits but you could use squares, ovals, etc. I’m loving the Lemon Lime Twist with Garden Green. I didn’t think I was going to like this color at all and I keep finding color combinations that look great with it! I guess the lesson here is never prejudge! Check back tomorrow for a color chart to use with the new In Colors!

How beautiful is this Painted Autumn DSP?! The other patterns are just as wonderful! My holiday preorder came yesterday and I couldn’t wait to see all the new paper! I love DSP! I will have more sneak peeks for you throughout the month. If you’ve ordered from me in the last 6 months your catalog will be arriving later this month. I had them shipped directly from Stampin’ Up! so you will get to see all the new goodies soon!

Stamp Set: One Big Meaning Ink: Lemon Lime Twist Papers: Garden Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Very Vanilla, Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (avail. Sept. 1) Tools & Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits, Glitter Enamel Dots, Lemon Lime Twist 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I hope that you pop over to the Tic-Tac -Toe Challenge site to see what the designers and others have created and play along! It’s fun and easy! Feel free to email me (j.stark@myactv.net) if you have any questions!

Have a wonderful day!
