Hi Everyone,

The theme for this month's hop is a Tic Tac Toe board, I love these for getting your crafty mojo going and giving you inspiration. The board was chosen by Team Mate Lisa Emslie. You have to choose three items in any line up, down or diagonal and I have chosen Thank You, Patterned Paper and Floral for my fun fold card and used Wonderful World and Colour and Contour stamp sets. Let me show you how I made it:

Materials

1 piece of starry sky card stock 10" X 7"

3 pieces orchid oasis card stock 2 1/4" x 6 3/4", 4 pieces 2 1/4" square, 2 pieces 2 1/4" x 1 3/4"

2 pieces of dsp 2" x 6 1/2", 4 pieces 2" x 2", 1 piece 2" x 1 1/2"

1 piece of basic white card stock 2" x 6 1/2", 1 piece 2" x 1/2"

Wonderful World stamp set

Colour & Contour stamp set

Starry Sky ink

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Multipurpose adhesive

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Instructions

On the long side score the starry sky card at 2 1/2", 5" and 7 1/2".

Cut along the 7" side at 2 1/2" and 4 1/2" between the first and last score lines, then fold and burnish the score lines (see picture).

Add the mats and layers to all sections (I chose to cut some of the small flowers from one of the sheets of dsp for my inside sections).

Stamp a sentiment on the small piece of white card and add to the last panel on the front. Stamp some flowers on the large piece of white and add to the back to write your message.

Sprinkle some butterflies and job done.

Please pop over and see what everyone else has been up to this month, I wonder which lines they chose?

Give it a try.

1 piece of 4" x 6" dsp

Scraps of vellum, magenta madness and gold foil card

Elegant Trim

Colour and Contour stamp set

Memento Black ink

Magenta Madness ink

Gilded Gems

Beautiful Shapes dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Bough Punch

Trimmer

Multipurpose adhesive

Mini glue dots

Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish.

Cut the dsp into 3 pieces, 2 pieces 1 1/4" x 3 7/8", 1 piece 2 3/4" x 3 7/8" and adhere to the card front leaving equal borders all around.
