Casually Crafting - December 2022 - Tic Tac Toe / Stamping With Melva

Casually Crafting - December 2022 - Tic Tac Toe

Saturday, 17 December 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 were challenged with a Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This is one of my favourite kinds of challenges. So many options. For my card I used the right vertical line - Ribbon, Mask and Green to create this fun card featuring the Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls Stamp Set. This stamp set can be yours for free with a $60 order in Canada during Sale-a-Bration starting on January 5th.

What line would you choose?

The Artistic Mix Decorative Masks make it so easy to create a fun background. I used the double check mask with Parakeet Party on my card. Isn't "Ollie" the owl adorable!
