TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - #TTTC237 MERRY & BRIGHT

Happy Thursday!

I'm back with a card for this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge....

Rosanne is our host this week and created this #TTTC237 fun board...

I chose the top horizontal column - FUN FOLD, FLORAL AND PEARLS.

This Fun Fold was really easy to do...I simply cut a 11"x 4 1/4" card base...score half way at 5 1/2". Next, you cut one side of your card base to 2 3/4" which give you the half fold look. For the inside fold cut a card base 8"x 2 3/4"..score at 4" and attach it to the inside of your card. All other decorative card stock or Design Paper is basically a 1/4" shorter that the original. Hope this makes sense? 

The poinsettias and greenery are from the PTI - Tag Creations: Modern Gift Dies. The sentiment in front is from a retired PTI Set called Penned Elegance: Christmas. The inside sentiment was a previous Christmas gift from The Greetery. At last I added the Silver Pearls in the center of the poinsettias.

Hope this board inspired you to play along? All the details can be found on the TTTC Blog. Wishing you a crafty day! ~SL~

INSPIRED BY - #IB265 HOLIDAY DECOR

Happy Thursday!

Hope you all had a wonderful time with friends and family for Thanksgiving? Ours was very chill...we grilled and watched football.

Today, I'm stopping by with my card for this weeks Inspired By Challenge...

Here is the #IB265 inspiration photo and sketch for you to play with...

My inspiration came from the colors, the deer, the greenery & pine cones.

I decided to grab some of my The Greetery goodies for this design - Herringbone Parquet Die, BotainiCuts Pine Bough Dies, Arched Holiday Sentiment Set and matching die. I also embossed the deer image in the left corner. At last I added the snow and glitter.

Happy Thursday! 

Can you guys believe it's already NOVEMBER?!? I feel like every year around this time...the weeks fly by faster and faster!!!

Anyways, I'm stopping by with my new Inspired By card...

Here is this weeks #IB261 inspiration photo and sketch...

My inspiration came from the shapes on blanket, the pillow and the colors.

When I took a closer look at the blanket, I was immediately drawn to some of dies from The Greetery's -Winter Wanderer Collection. I used the Macrame Diamonds Dies, the Macrame Openwork Base Dies, the flower accents from the Macrame Borders & Tassels Dies. I also used the Hoop Wreath Set with the matching dies.
