Hello, Hello my crafty friends it’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and this week’s board was created by none other than Shannon Jaramillo. They say three times a charm right! For this weeks creation it took me 3 not 1 but 3 times before I was some what happy with the results. The verdict is still out but any who’s here you go! I’ve been wanting the W Plus 9 Modern Anemones stamp set for some time now and I’ve been chomping at the bit to try embossing with the Tonic Nuvo Gilding Flakes. This weeks board provided the perfect opportunity.
I stamped several of the Modern Anemones flowers and leaves onto Neenah Solar White Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with various copic markers. The flowers and leaves were cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut.
I die cut an oval shape out of black cardstock with one of the MFT Cross Stitch Oval dies and arranged my flowers to look as though they were cascading the oval shape. I wanted a bold graphic look and the Ellen Hutson Modern Graphics paper was the key to pulling this design together.
To finish off my card I adhered a (4 x 5.25) piece of one of the Modern Graphic designs paper onto an A2 Top Fold Neenah Solar White card base. The sentiment was stamped with SSS clear ink and heat embossed with Ranger Sticky embossing powder Nuvo Gilding flakes in Radiant Gold were applied to the sticky embossed sentiment, rubbed in and the excess removed with a brush.
I adhered the oval (just so you know the oval was the reason for my 3 times is a charm) and arranged the flowers around the oval added a few My Minds Eye enamel dots from Christmas on Market Street

Happy Thursday my crafty friends welcome to another Tic Tac Toe Thursday… Wow! how time flies when your having fun. I can’t believe how we have gone full circle with the entire Design Team being the Featured Designer. This week’s board was created by Peggy Noe.
For my design this week I chose the elements on the middle row across: flower, thank you, angled.
I have fallen in love with the look of a black background against a pop of color.
I die cut the Avery Elle Diagonal Stripes Elle-ments out of Neenah Solar White Card and adhered it to an A2 Top-Fold Black Card base. I had a few flowers left over from the Avery Elle Floral Bouquet set that I’ve been trying to use for some time now and what a perfect opportunity. The flowers were angled in the lower right corner (hint) angled…. you know the third element on the middle row across. I took the Thanks so much sentiment that’s included in the die set and ombre colored it with my Copic Markers added some Versamark ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. The card was finished by adhering the sentiment adding a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink and some Nuvo Crystal Glaze.
Hope you’ll join me over on the Tic Tac Toe challenge this week. I can’t wait to see you in the gallery.

Hello, Hello my crafty friends………! It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and I’m keeping it simple this week. For this week’s board I chose the elements on the top row across: Metallic, Emboss, Insect or bug. This week’s board was created by the talented Nicole Watt………..
I have fallen in love with the dramatic look of black cardstock as the backdrop for my images. I took a piece of SU Black cardstock and stamped the flower image from the Mama Elephant Butterfly Kisses with clear ink and heat embossed with the SSS Fine Detail Gold EP. I then colored the flower with my Prima Metallic Accents Watercolors. I have a confession I’m actually giving Washi tape some love. I adhered strips of the Pink Fresh Studio Washi tape along the sides of my card base . After I was done with the art panel I took the same colors of paint as my image and went splatter crazy. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with the gold embossing powder as well………. The art panel was then adhered to an A2Top Fold card base. I hope you like my take on the top row of the Tic Tac Toe board this week. Oh by the way you should check out some of the design’s that Design Team “O” has created for you this week.

Hello, Hello my crafty friends….. I feel like I’m on a Roller Coaster and it’s moving at warp speed… I spent a few days last week in Chicago and I’m seriously playing catch up.
Today is Tic Tac Toe Challenge Day and we have a great challenge board for you! For this weeks board I chose the top left row diagonal down.
For my card this week I knew exactly which row I thought I was going for until I realized my card was not a one layer card. This one was easy to pull together. I stamped several of the images from the Altenew Garden Grow stamp set onto Neenah Solar white cardstock and Copic colored the images with various Copic markers.
I wanted to create a scene with the plants looking like they’re outside against a brick wall. I used my clarity stencil brushes with the Tim Holtz Bricked stencil and Walnut Stain Oxide Distress Ink.
To finish off my card I mounted the Neenah art piece on a Sahara Sand A2 card base and blended Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges of the card base. I hope you like my take on this weeks Tic Tac Toe board elements: Thank You, Distress Inks, Plants.

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and I’m just going with the flow….. this week!
Today’s card has an ocean vibe going on. I knew I wanted to create a shaker card based on the elements on the challenge board this week… Acetate, Critter, Die-cut.
I purchased a wave background design from the Silhouette store and cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo. I blended peacock feathers, broken china and tumbled glass distress inks onto the wave background. 
I stamped and copic colored a few of the images from the Avery Elle Bubbles stamp set and cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut and adhered them to the front of the wave background. I used my Misti to stamp the sentiment and curved it to fit the flow of the wave.
I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the wave background and layered strips of SU foam adhesive
onto the back of the acetate. I brushed my EK Success powder tool along the sides of the form strips which will help the sequins to not stick to the sides. I adhered a few of the sequins randomly on the acetate. I added the sequins and then adhered a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock to the back of the panel and then adhered it onto an A2 Top-Fold Card base. In the photo you can’t see my shaker elements. I wish you could it actually turned out better than expected. Thank you for stopping by hope too see you in the gallery….

Hello, Hello my crafty friends you know what day it is ..It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday! I tried to keep things a little simple today. A few weeks ago I saw Nicole Sphor create this plaid background. I’ve been anxious too try it out. So this week the Tic Tac Toe board has plaid as one of the elements.. without further ado let’s get down to the business of card making.
This week my card for #tttc006 uses elements from the middle row down: layers, fuzzy (Pineapples are fuzzy right) Oh! but aren’t they so cute and of course you see that plaid background right not to bad for my first time.
This week’s card was pretty easy to pull together except the background took me two times before I was happy with the results. I die-cut a square out of Neenah Solar White card stock and went to town masking and blending the cracked pistachio, wild honey distress oxide inks which blends like butter……. After I was done with the background I cut a piece of Strathmore Bristol paper and colored the Pineapples with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
I then die-cut the Pineapples and adhered them onto another square piece of Neenah Solar card stock. I used a scrap piece of paper and blended both of the distress oxide inks to give me an ombre look and die-cut the aloha sentiment out twice to give it a little dimension and adhered it to the bottom of my panel with the pineapples. I added glossy accents to the sunglasses and a “lil” clear Wink of Stella to the pineapples and dotted the eyes of the girly pineapple with my Sakura black jelly roll pen. I finished the card off by adding a few Nuvo Crystal Apple drops and then adhered the art piece to the plaid panel onto a square 5×5 SU Garden Green card base.
