Casually Crafting - Tic Tac Toe / Stamping With Melva

Casually Crafting - Tic Tac Toe

Saturday, 17 September 2022

I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

This month we used a Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I used Christmas, Spots and Silver for my card. I created this card for an upcoming swap for a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Event. It was so easy to create 30 cards!

My card features the Snow Crystal Stamp Set. I love large background stamps. I stamped the background in Pool Party and then splattered (my spots) using Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends. My silver comes from the Metallic Mesh Trim. So easy!

Instructions

Cut Pool Party cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold on score line to form card base.
Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Stamp image using Pool Party ink
Splatter using the piece using the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blend
Cut 4" of Metallic Trim and cut ends in a banner shape.
Pinch the middle and adhere to the middle of the Basic White cardstock
Cut Pool Party cardstock 1/2" x 1 1/4"
Stamp sentiment using Pool Party Ink
Adhere over Trim using Dimensionals.
Adhere to card base
Adhere Rhinestones
Cut Basic White cardstock
Adhere to the inside of the card

You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.

Now it's time to be inspired by all of the Projects in our Blog Hop!

I hope we have inspired you!

New Coordinating Die Sets

These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion (until the end of September) while supplies last, and will not be offered in any catalogue.
