My card is created on a white card base.  I added a fun piece of DSP of pink, red and gold foil for my background.  I cut the Jingle bells from an old die in my stash with gold foil.  I also add the senitment "MERRY"  using the MFT Stacked Merry Die.  I also added a snowflake cut in half along the edge. Such an easy card, but so shiny and fun!

Praying For You Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc091

 Nov. 19, 2020

It's time for a new challenge at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

We hope you will play along with our new board! 

My card is created using the diagonal:  Metallic, Ink Blending, Brown

Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card for a friend that lost her Daddy this week.  I decided to use  copper metallic for my background.  I trimmed it with an MFT border die.  I added patterned paper that had pine cones.  I then cut a copper sunburst to use as a frame.  The center piece is watercolor paper that I sponged with Distress inks .  I stamped the trees in dark brown using the Stampin' Up set Lovely As A Tree.  (Always a favorite set of mine!)  I added a brown ribbon and a sentiment.  

Sorry I only have one picture!  It was raining and I hurried to get this photo taken.  

Please stop by and see all the fabulous cards by the Design Team.  There is so much inspiration!

We hope you will play along with us this week!

So Very Thankful Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc089

Nov. 5, 2020

It's time for a new challenge at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

We hope you will play along with our new board! 

My card is created on the diagonal:  Wood, Frame, Floral.

I used a sunflower paper for my background.  I cut a brown frame using a die.  I also added a Kraft oval that I embossed with a striped embossing folder.  The Lady and her pie is created using different papers using the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month from October 2019.  We are big pie eaters in my family so, this is a perfect card for Thanksgiving.  The sentiment was added using Kraft and brown ink.  I added a few enamel dots to complete my card. 

Please stop by and see all the fabulous cards by the Design Team.  There is so much inspiration!

We hope you will play along with us this week!
