Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge. I have chosen the diagonal line with Jewels, Ribbon and Christmas to make my card.

Evening Evergreen

Gold Glimmer

Basic White

To recreate the Tic Tac Toe card, you will need:

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Gold Glimmer Paper – 5¾” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3”
Basic white care – 5⅞” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic White strip – 3” by ½”

I ran the 5½” by 3” panel of Basic White card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Embossing Plate and the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I chose the one with the snowflakes, so pretty.

Using the large outline star from the Christmas Trimmings Dies I die cut a star from the centre of the God Glimmer panel, making sure to stay away from the edges. The embossed panel was then glued to the Gold Glimmer paper using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Bright Leaves for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on October 9, 2021October 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Mini Catalogue’. My favourite stamp set at the moment is the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves, any one who knows me knows I am a sucker for leaf sets……….don’t know what it is about them, just love leaves.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the bright leaves card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Merry Merlot card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Merry Merlot card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I decided on which size circle die I was going to use for my sentiment and where I was going to position the sentiment on the card – then I drew round the inside of the die lightly with a pencil. This means I know where I need to position my images.

Using the large speckled stamp, I stamped around the pencil line in 2^nd generation Blushing Bride. I just wanted a little of this colour in the background.

I then added the other leaves one colour at a time starting with the largest in Merry Merlot ink. Next came Polished Pink ink then Smoky Slate ink.

The tiny flowers were stamped in Basic Gray or Merry Merlot, I inked up one flower at a time. The stamp panel was then adhered to the Merry Merlot panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Biggest Wish stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto a circle die cut from the square of Basic White card using my chosen size of circle die. I adhered the stamped sentiment to a slightly larger Merry Merlot scalloped circle with liquid glue then cut the side off using my Paper Trimmer. It was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
