Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, Joanne is hosting our Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge.
My Tic-Tac-Toe Selection: Rainbow - Sparkle - Die Cut
Tic-Tac-Toe Challenges are so much fun to get your creative mojo going. So many choices! That top row caught my eye immediately. I mean, how could I say no to rainbows AND sparkle?
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
Color Combo:
I can’t say enough how much I LOVE the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and coordinating Brilliant Rainbow Dies in the Stampin’ Up!® January - June Mini Catalog! For my card, I decided to use the really big rainbow die as the focal image. I just love a big, bold image and this one really delivers. I paper pieced the fun striped pattern from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP which can be earned for FREE right now with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration. I won’t even tell you how many packs of this paper I own. It’s awesome! And how about those sparkly clouds? I punched them out of the new Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper.
I popped the sentiment die cuts from the Layering Circles Dies. I had intended for it to look like a sun, but the Bermuda Bay layer kept throwing me off. So I added some Bumblebee Gingham Trim behind the circles for more color and some added texture.The Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels were the perfect finishing touch, too. I feel like I’m using these on every card I make lately and I’m not even sorry about it. Haha!
Card Measurements & Details:
- Bermuda Bay Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2"

Finally, here is look inside the card. I simply added a small strip of the same DSP I used for the rainbow and a coordinating sentiment. Such a fun card to pop in the mail to a friend to let them know you are thinking about them.

*On a Personal Note: If you have followed me for any length of time you have probably seen my handsome kitty, Benjamin Maxwell. We adopted him from a shelter in North Dakota back in 2007 when he was about 7 months old. For almost 15 years, this guy blessed our home with his awesome personality and affectionate disposition. At almost 24 pounds, he knew how to make an entrance and would never leave your side if he knew you had a brush or some treats.
About a month ago, I discovered a mass on his chin and brought him to the vet. He had also lost a very significant amount of weight despite continuing to eat well. We decided that because of his age, to just keep an eye on it for a little while as his bloodwork looked good and overall there were no changes in his behaviors. Over the past week, things changed considerably and the mass had doubled in size.
Rest peacefully my sweet boy, you are so very loved and dearly missed.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a HAPPY day today!
