Tic Tac Toe #003


Have you ever played Tic-Tac-Toe?  I remember playing as a kid for hours on end trying to find the best strategy to win...I loved it!!! So searching through Pinterest, I've come across Tic-Tac-Toe boards for crafting...specifically cardmaking, and was hooked on them. So last year I said to myself, why don't you create some boards...so I did!  I started creating Tic Tac Toe boards to challenge myself to use products or techniques etc in combinations that may be unlikely or unusual to create cards and decided to share them. I'm on my 3rd one. You can find them on my Pinterest board. 

My ultimate goal is to create a card using each possible combination on the board...I'm not quite there yet.  The card I chose to create used the Diagonal path using: Stencils-Ink, Floral, and Ribbon.  

I've recently developed a love of layering stencils and although I love the ones from Altenew, I find them a little challenging.  Then I discovered the Pink Fresh Studio layering stencil and their coordinating products.  You can purchase the layering stencils, coordinating stamp, and coordinating die (Note:  I am not affiliated with Pink Fresh Studio and do not make any money from talking about their products).  I chose the "Sweet Friend" collection for this project.  The beauty of these layering stencils is that each panel is numbered so that you pretty much which to use and when...it was just easier for this brain of mine to compute.  After I stenciled, I used the coordinating stamp to add the outline.  I love this!

Cutting and Dimensions:

Basic A2 card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
Basic White panel: 4" x 5 1/4"
Designer Series Paper: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Enjoy and Happy Stamping!

Hi there, Stamping Friends!  It's time for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop.  As you know, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators who enjoy paper crafting, creating cards, and other projects to share with each other and with you. If you've arrived from Karen's blog, welcome!  This time, the theme is to create a card or project based on a favorite technique.  There are sooooo many techniques that I love but with this project, I'm going to focus mainly on two.  Can you guess what one of them is? Yup, you guessed it...masking!  There're so many things you can do with this technique from: simple masking to creating seamless backgrounds and adding depth...hmmm, I think I've decided to do a blog series focusing on the different things you can do with masking. For this post, I chose to start with a simple spotlight masking technique. Let me show you how I created this card. Now I incorporated several other techniques (dry ...

Stampin' with Friends Blog Hop Vine Design

Hi, so glad you decided to pop in to see what I have in store for you today.   This is my inaugural blog hop with Stamping with Friends. Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who enjoy sharing our love of paper crafting in general and for me, more specifically, card making with you. The group hosts two hops every month.   The theme for this hop showcases retiring sets, bundles, or products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog that retires at the end of this month.  I chose to feature the Vine Design Bundle. I was drawn to this bundle for many reasons; first, the die cuts are elegant and can stand alone to create a beautiful, simple yet elegant card, second, the sentiments also make it a very versatile set that covers multiple occasions, and third, I could see the possibilities with one of my favorite masking and blending techniques. I hope you enjoy this hop and the cards I created to share with you. This first card highlights the m...
