Makes me so happy!} I used specialty papers (watercolor paper, vellum, patterned papers, gold foiled paper and even some papers from the cover of an old StampinUp! catalog!) a piece of …

Hi friends, I hope you are having fun playing along with Tic-Tac-Toe challenge #18. I have created a card using the middle row: Friendship + Blues and Greens + Ink Blending. Here’s my card featuring the August 2016 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts.  As you will notice, this is a shaped card – it is oval and not a regular rectangular card. Below is a quick tip video I made showing two ways to make such shaped cards. The large oval die that comes with My Monthly Hero August 2016 card kit makes creating oval cards a breeze. To read rest of the …

teacher card 1

Hello friends, it is the 16th which means a brand new tic-tac-toe challenge on Stamping Smiles Designs blog. I picked the right most vertical row and made a card for a teacher that has texture and ink blending. I started by adding some light ink blending using mermaid lagoon and cracked pistachio distress inks on my card front. I also used my Darice brick wall embossing folder to add texture on it. Next I prepared a tag as my focal point. I used MFT stamps dienamics blueprint to die cut it out of a patterned paper from Lawn Fawn. On this tag, …

Hey, it’s 16th and that means a fun new tic-tac-toe challenge at Stamping Smiles Design. This time the grid is: And here’s the photo for the photo inspiration: I went with the bottom row – clothespin + birthday + patterned paper and made this one: I used patterned paper from the Echo Park Spring paper pack to make the tag and the banner. This pack came in the March 2016 SSS card kit. When making a project, I like to use papers from one single pack. Paper packs like these are already color coordinated.  My Favorite Things dienamics helped with all the …

Stamping Smiles Design Tic-Tac-Toe challenge 15

Hi friends, it’s time for another challenge over at Stamping Smiles Design – Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #15. This is so full of fun combinations and I decided to go with the first vertical row – Burlap, Word Dies and Bokeh Effect. Bokeh or the blur effect was a very popular technique among card makers, not too long ago. To make this effect you can use stencils or even stamps. You stamp same image in different sizes multiple time slightly overlapping. Mostly this technique is done using circles – stencils or stamps, but circles. I decided to change it a little bit and go with stars. …

Hi peeps, it’s time for  challenge #14 over at SSD tic-tac-toe challenge blog. Here’s the grid for this one: For this one, I picked the horizontal top row and made a simple yet pretty card.

To begin with, I die cut a panel from Strathmore watercolor paper using the largest rectangle die from SSS Stitched rectangle dies. I used my MISTI to come up with an arrangement of all the little images from Altenew Beautiful You …
