Welcome to the first Tic Tac Toe Challenge of April. I had the pleasure of designing today’s board and hope that you’ll find some of the elements spark your creativity and share a project with us. Here’s the board…
…and here’s my card
There were several ways that I could do a tic tac toe. First, left diagonal down: Slimline, Free, Border. Second, left column down: Slimline, Pastel Colors, Encouraging Sentiment. Third, middle row across: Pastel Colors, Free, Stencil.
I haven’t made a slimline card in quite sometime. This card is a mini slimline and measures 6 x 3.5 and fits in a custom made envelope. I have slimline envelope templates HERE.
The stamp set is one I’ve had for a while. It’s from Spellbinders called Cute Boots. That’s where the sentiment is from also. I cut the image out using the Brother Scan & Cut and paper pieced the umbrella while coloring the rest with a combination of Copics and Stampin’ Blends. The stenciled background is from MFT Cloud stencil.
The inside sentiment is from a Close to My Heart stamp set. A neighbor of mine recently decided to give up her hobby and offered anyone in the neighborhood who was interested to come and take what they wanted. So I now have a small collection of CTMH stamp sets! I thought this sentiment fit perfectly with the image and thought behind the card.
I hope you’ll head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see the wonderful designs my fellow teammates created and will add one of your designs as well.
Happy Crafting!

Roseanne, I love this sweet card! Great choice to do the slimline and the coloring and paper piecing make this one adorable girl! Walking in the rain? Or in the sky? The sentiment is perfect. Seeing the inside and matching envie is inspiring. I need to do that more often.
I love a mini slimline! THanks for creating such a fun board!! Love the stencil and paper piercing on your card. You always put in those extra little details that make your cards so special!!!
