Stamping Smiles Design Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #9

Hello everyone!! Happy May day!! I cannot BELIEVE it is May already.

I am so ready for the nice weather and the chance to get out into the garden and plant some flowers, as well as my veggies. Here in the northeast this can get tricky as we often get a late frost. I am itching to plant my flowers because I want to give my front yard a little color. It really needs it.

Today I am posting a card I created for Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #9.

I used the first row down-flowers, birthday and masking technique. I have quite a few birthdays this month and this badge gave me the excuse to create one.

I started off by masking CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Pretty Posies" set in Amethyst, Lilac and Green dye ink. Originally I was going to mask whole card front but as my usual messy self, I left a HUGE green thumb print in the middle of the card and had to improvise. Instead of chucking out the whole thing, I decided to use what I could.

I cut a piece of the masked flower panel off and adhered it with foam adhesive over a green card base and a white doily.

I embossed a sentiment  in green over a piece of dark purple card stock and adhered that over the edge of the stamped panel. The last step was to adhere some clear sequins randomly around the front.

For messing something up, this came together quite nicely!! I actually have enough of the botched panel left to make at least one more card for my stash!!

Please join us over at Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #9 and enter your creation inspired by the Challenge #9 badge. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Stamping Smiles Design Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #8

Happy Friday everyone!! It is a happy one for me because it is the last day before spring vacation from school!! I will not be going anywhere due to Charlotte having dress rehearsal for dance but just having next week off from work is fine with me.

Today I am sharing a card I created for Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #8.

I chose to use the last column on the right, down-Square Card, Die-Cut Negatives and Food/Drink.

This was a TOTAL challenge for me as I DO NOT make square cards!! That said, this was oh so much fun to create!!

I started off by taking an A2 sized polka dot card base I had in my stash and cutting it into a 4" by 4" card. Next I used foam adhesive to pop a negative die-cut that I had on my desk. I had previously blended this square with orange ink and used the circle for a different card. I adhered a white banner with a stamped sentiment from PaperTrey Ink's "Sweet as Can Be" stamp set over the square.

I then stamped, die cut and adhered an ice cream cone from the set over the banner. The last step was to add sequin "sprinkles" on top of the ice cream.

I LOVE how this card came out and used a stamp set that I had NEVER played with before even though I have had it for years. I LOVE these challenges!!

Please hop on over to the Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge blog and play with us.

Thank you for stopping by!! Have a FABULOUS day!!
