Good afternoon, y’all – or, should i say…hello…again!? This is my second post for the day – if you’re looking for our weekly team blog hop – and the card that I posted for it – here’s the link to that post!
I was really excited to be invited to be on the Design Team for the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge – it’s one of my faves (I’m betting you knew that!). I love getting ideas for my cards and trying to get tic-tac-toe on the boards! Today is my first time with the Team!
So – for my inaugural card – I pulled out the beautiful Forever Love Specialty DSP and let it take the lead with some help from the coordinating Lifetime of Love bundle. A cool Basic White frame – from the Perennial Postage die set – set the stage for the whole card. Take a look-see:
And – here’s the Tic-Tac-Toe inspiration board for this week – I hope you’ll play along with us! I went down the right column (Word Love – Frame – Heat Embossing) and then across the diagonal (Enamel Dots – Die Cut – Heat Embossing)!
OBTW – I made this project out on Instagram today and you can see it here.
I started by adhering a piece of gorgeous Forever Love Specialty DSP to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue.
Then I used the next-to-largest Perennial Postage die to cut out a Basic White rectangle – which I adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I matted another design from the Forever Love DSP on a Moody Mauve mat using Liquid Glue – then adhered it over the white panel with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the pretty leaves die in the Lifetime of Love die set to cut out one Gold Foil leaf and two Lost Lagoon leaves – all of which I adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used two lengths of white Baker’s Twine to tie a simple bow – which I adhered to the card front with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Moody Mauve cardstock, I stamped the Lifetime of Love sentiment in Versamark Ink, sprinkled it with white Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.
I adhered the sentiment to a Basic White mat, that I’d cut with the smallest Perennial Postage die, using Liquid Glue.
I adhered the sentiment over the bow with double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Three Petal Pink gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems finished off the card front!
On the inside, I stamped a second Lifetime of Love sentiment in Moody Mauve on a piece of Basic White cardstock. Over the top, in stamped-off-TWICE Pretty Peacock ink, I added the leaf image from the set. I added a single Petal Pink gem, too!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Moody Mauve mat and into the Pretty Peacock card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Lifetime of Love leaf image in stamped-off-ONCE Pretty Peacock ink on the front…
…and more of the Forever Love Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I think the Forever Love suite is just perfect for this time of year! Can you think of anything prettier than gold foil with Pretty Peacock?? I’ll wait…
The answer is,…not much! They go together PERFECTLY! And Perennial Postage dies are – yes, my fave of all time! I just love them!
I hope you like!
