Hello!
I'm so excited to be joining the amazing team over on the Retro Rubber Blog today as the Guest Designer for challenge #131 - Tic Tac Toe! As you can see from the options below - there are so many great choices from which to create your own perfect 3-in-a-row! I decided to make an "X" and went with five prompts! I hope you will join us and don't forget to use a stamp that is at least one year old!
I decided to use Lawn Fawn's "Easter Party", which was released in combination with the "Easter Egg Frames" in the Spring of 2018. I started by cutting small strips of pattern paper and gluing them down onto white card stock measuring 3.5" x 4.5".
Using the egg frame, I traced around the shape to give me a cutting edge and hand cut the eggs to fit behind the frame.
I die cut the frames from contrasting card stock, glued/stacked 2 frames together and adhered them onto the egg base. I placed the egg into the MISTI and stamped the sentiment. The Lawn Fawn images were stamped, colored and die cut and I glued one blank die cut behind each one to give it stability before popping them into place with foam tape. I added a few pastel pearls to finish off the card front.
I made the card base by creating a positive template from the die cut and adding numerous marks to make sure that the image remained square. So when I placed the folded card base onto my grid, the template was also aligned on top (using the same grid) over the fold and then I cut the shape to create the card base.
I ended up with a card base rainbow!
Thanks so much for joining me today and please head over to the Retro Rubber Blog to see the other great projects for this challenge!
