Ink & Paper Hugs
Hello, my crafty friends…….. It feel like it’s been forever since I’ve sat down and really had an opportunity to create. It felt good to just play. I moved a couple of months ago and it seem as though things were in a disarray including me.. (lol) so this past weekend I did nothing but play. My new craft space is called the Loft-A-Mania it’s cute and cozy.
Well my friends it’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and for my design this week I knew I wanted to create off the bottom row across (Sequins, Watercolor, Square) I know it says square you’ve had one of those moments where you finished the design and you look at the challenge and realize Oop’s yeah! that’s what I said.
I wanted to do some ink smooshing so I took a few distress inks (Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral) and smooshed onto a 4×5.25 panel of Strathmore Watercolor paper. I love how this background turned out… I die cut the SSS Clipping Hearts die out of the smooshed panel and inlay the hearts into the panel and popped some of the hearts with foam dots for dimension.
The love sentiment was die cut with the SSS Love die out of Stampin Up Gold Foil paper. I stamped the Sending You sentiment with the SSS Love stamp onto Basic Black cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with SSS Fine Gold (EP).
To finish off my design I added a few Lucy’s Little Things True Love sequins and adhered the panel onto an A2 Top Fold Neenah Solar White Card base. I hope you’ll join in the fun this week and while your at it you should check out the rest of the Design Team.

For my design this week I went with a coffee theme card. I love coffee and I have tons of coffee mugs, cups and glasses. I wanted to try something different this week. I took the Newton’s Nook Foliage Stencil and blended several distress inks to create a background strip. I applied a few distress inks to the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags stamp to give my coffee cup an ombre look. I die cut the cup and whipped cream topping and copic colored the whip cream top with copic markers.
To finish off my card I die cut borders from the Avery Elle Dotted Borders Die (set) and adhered the stenciled background to the borders and adhered the stenciled borders, coffee cups to an A2 Grout Gray Top Fold card base along with a scattering of some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Happy New Year! Welcome back to the first challenge in the New Year over at Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week I’m the Featured Designer and my design is all about winter and two cute Polar Bears that are madly in love.
For my design this week I stamped one of the Sunny Studios Playful Polar Bears stamp onto the Neat & Tangled Backdrops stamp and copied it onto X-Press It Blending card. I took another image and stamped and colored both with various Copic Markers. I cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I wanted the love birds to look like they were on a snow bank under a snowy night. I blended several Distress Inks for my night sky and then used my Carta Bella Christmas Sky Stencil and heat embossed with the Stampendous Detail White (EP). The sky just looks like it’s glistening……..
To finish my card I die cut a hill from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Border and blended a little distress ink on top to match the background panel. I adhered the hill and the Playful Polar Bears onto an A2 side fold MFT Grout Gray card base. Thank you for stopping bye… please head on over and check out the rest of the Design Team.
