Today I’m sharing a sweet birthday card inspired by the left column down on the Tic Tac Toe board: Floral • Pink • Birthday.
I started with a soft neutral patterned background and layered several stitched frame dies in white to create dimension while keeping the design light and elegant. The beautiful floral die cuts take center stage, featuring soft pink blooms with bright yellow centers and vibrant green foliage. A few delicate white leaves tucked behind the flowers add extra interest without overwhelming the arrangement.
For a touch of rustic charm, I tied a simple twine bow across the top of the focal panel and finished the card with a black sentiment strip that pops against the soft colors. A scattering of pearl embellishments adds just the right amount of sparkle and completes the design.
This card was such a fun way to incorporate the Floral, Pink, and Birthday elements from the board. I love how the layered frames draw your eye to the bouquet while allowing the flowers to remain the star of the show.
I hope this project inspires you to play along with our Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Be sure to visit the challenge blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has created and join in the fun.
I’m excited to share my card for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge! For this challenge, I chose the middle row across: Any Color, Free, and Sentiment.
I decided to create a festive patriotic card filled with fun details and lots of dimension. Since Any Color gave me complete freedom, I went with a classic red, white, and blue color palette that feels bold, cheerful, and perfect for a summer celebration.
For the Free square, I let my creativity take over and built this playful arrangement using layered die cuts. The patriotic hat overflowing with flowers, greenery, an American flag, and a firecracker created the perfect focal point for this design. I love how all the elements work together to give this card a fun, celebratory feel.
The Sentiment prompt is highlighted with the playful greeting, “Party like it’s 1776,” which adds the perfect touch of humor and personality. It really brings the whole patriotic theme together and makes this card ideal for celebrating Independence Day or any summer gathering.
I kept the background clean and simple with a crisp white panel layered onto navy cardstock, allowing all the colorful details to truly shine. A few sparkling gems were added for just the right amount of finishing detail.
This card was so much fun to create, and I love how bright and festive it turned out! I hope it inspires you to join us for this challenge. Be sure to check out all the amazing creations from the design team, and we can’t wait to see what you make.
I’m so excited to be sharing my card for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge! For my design I chose the right column going down: Splatter – Die Cut Shapes – Embellishment.
To begin my card, I started with a black card base and layered it with a beautiful scalloped die-cut panel. I love how the soft scalloped edges frame the design and add a touch of elegance to the card.
Next, I created a collage of die-cut shapes using patterned papers featuring florals, vintage script, and rich berry tones. The mix of patterns gives the card a layered and dimensional look while still keeping the design cohesive.
To bring everything together, I added ink splatter across the background. The splatter adds a bit of artistic texture and movement that helps break up the white space and gives the card a slightly mixed-media feel.
For my embellishments, I finished the card with a few delicate butterfly accents placed across the panel. These small details add dimension and draw the eye across the design. Finally, I added a bold sentiment that reads “Collect Beautiful Moments” which perfectly complements the vintage floral theme.
I love how this card came together with the layered shapes, soft butterflies, and subtle splatter details. It’s such a fun combination from the board!

Happy Thursday my crafty friends! I’m hoping everyone is doing well. I read a quote last night and it says: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined. This quote has me written all over it. I started a new job last September so life has been a little busy.

Happy Thursday my crafty friends! I’m hoping everyone is dong well. I read a quote last night and it says: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined. This quote has me written all over it. I recently started a new job so light has been a little busy.

For my design this week I created a couple of roses from the Build A Flower: Rose stamp set and die to create these beautiful roses. One of the roses I masked off by using the complimentary die set. I chose the Cherry Blossom, Green Fields Mini Cube Set. The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I was pleasantly surprised that my design came together easily by following the alignment guide and watching Nicole’s video. Using shades from the same color collection was definitely an easy way to ensure good color coordination. I really enjoy the Altenew Crisp Inks. They lay down color nicely and dry to perfection. They may look a little splotchy at first, but once the ink is completely dry, the color is uniform across the entire stamped image. To complete my design I die cut the art panel using the Lil Inker Stitched Mats Dual Stitched Rectangles for the stitched look and adhered it onto an A2 Neenah Solar White card base.
I marvel at how realistic the layered images look with just simple stamping – they make your cards look so special!
