Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Firstly, I chose the snowflake mask from the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks set. I knew I wanted to emboss my cardstock using the mask but wasn’t quite sure how to do it. After a bit of trial and error I found that the best combination was:

Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine
Base plate (1)
Clear acrylic plate (3)
Silicon Mat
Basic White card
Mask
Gray 3D Embossing Plate (4)

I wrapped a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and added the whole panel to the Highland Heather card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped on the small piece of Basic White card in Highland Heather ink. I used the Seasonal Labels dies to cut the sentiment out.

I added the label to the card front, over the ribbon and secured it down with Mini Glue Dots.

To complete the card, I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Pastel Pearls.

I made a second card in the same way but this time when the mask was removed, I added the left-over colour on the Blending Brushes to the background.

This panel was added to a Gorgeous Grape panel and then to a Thick Basic White card base.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

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.

May be an image of text that says "Jewels Circle Blue Critter Ribbon Square Vellum Pink Christmas"

Colours used in this project are;

 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.

I ran the 5⅞” by 1½” piece of Basic White through the die cutting machine with the scalloped edge die from the Scalloped Contour set of dies. The scalloped edge was then added to the embossed panel with the liquid glue. The whole piece was added to the Evening Evergreen card base.

The sentiment from the Stars Are Shinning stamp set was stamped on the thin strip of card in Evening Evergreen ink and trimmed down with scissors. I added it to the card front with glue and a piece of Dimensional at the right edge.
