This week, Jaydee is hosting our monthly Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge.
Check it out and play along with us!
I love a good Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge! It’s so fun to use the options to inspire your creativity. For my card, I decided to use the row right down the center as my inspiration: Girly - Die-Cut - Friendship. There are SO many different options with this week’s challenge, which row will YOU choose?
For my card, I decided to use the Free as a Bird stamp set because it has beautiful images and the sentiments are great for a card to send to a dear friend. I also really like this stamp set because it is so perfect to color with Stampin’ Blends markers.
The stamp set also perfectly pairs with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, which are very versatile and one of my favorite die sets. I’ve listed all of the measurements for this card below and there is also a supply list at the end of the post.
Here’s a little story and I hope it gives you a chuckle. Do you see those fun details tied in the Linen Thread bow? That leaf and key come from the Bird Ballad Trinkets! I love these little accents but believe it or not, this is the first time I have used them. I think I just forgot about them in the drawers of my stamp studio. Sadly, they will be retiring in just a couple days, so I better get busy using them, right? They really make for a fun accent on a card, so if you love them as well, get them while you can. Just make sure not to lose them in your craft room. Haha!
