Your TicTacToe Challenge Cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

I really hope that those of you that are exhausted after a busy week, whether it was working or just life exhausting you with pain or stress or a combination of the two get to relax today,  take some time for yourselves.  I had that kind of day yesterday,  we relaxed, did a few little jobs and I even did a bit of crafting.

So let's get to the best part of the week.....

Lilian 

Lilian's Description:

Here is my card for this week, I used Stamperia papers, and inks for the back drop.

What a stunning Santa, such a beautiful imaged, those papers are stunning too. The little trees are so detailed  perfect for your little forest scene.  Thank you so much for a lovely challenge card Lilian XXX

Sonia 

Sonia's Description:

Hi. Here’s my card 

Die cut/Patterned paper/Embossing 

The paper was from my stash, part of a 12x12 pad. I heat embossed Sue Wilson’s snowflake border, and the sentiment. The die cut houses and trees are from Mama Elephant, coloured with Stormy Sky and Iced Spruce distress inks. The tiny snowflakes are from a Tonic punch.

Sonia you are the queen of using your older dies and giving them a real modern twist, I have that SW border die but totally forget to use it, I love everything about your card from the amazing colour, the lovely stamped background and especially for how you have made that old die cut look like a fancy bridge, thank you for a stunning Challenge card XXX 

Karen

Here’s my offering for this week: 

Die-cut/colouring tool/embellishments 

I have used mirri, pale blue and pale grey for the glasses coming to the conclusion I like the pale grey from Lidl 

with chameleon pens and coloured glass for the drinks parts

I intend to write on the back what I used for future reference 

Karen has been playing with her new dies this week, I love their quirky look. I must say that your colouring with those Chameleon pens is seamless, so perfectly blended that they look printed.  Tjank you for taking part in the Challenge Karen. XXX

Janet

Two beautiful cards from Janet that are perfect for these week's Challenge:

The first card uses Categories : Green/Ribbon/Die cut.

Such a lovely Christmas card, you couldn't pick a better colour! 😉 that die cut is so detailed, the card needs nothing more than that simple bow. 

Card 2: Fancy Fold/Red/Die cut

Such a beautiful design Janet,  the background paper is so pretty,  the Poinsettias and Holly sprigs work perfectly to embellish it. Thank you so much for sharing two amazing cards, I hope you are feeling better my lovely XXXXXX 

Maria

Maria's Description:

Red/Fancy Fold/Embellishments 

Maria used her Bit Box for her Challenge card this week...

" I cut out the Fancy Fold card, used Red paper to cover and a small

  Twine ribbon to hold the Greeting"     

Maria you have more patience than I do,  I love the look of shutter cards but cutting the decorative paper to fit the very precise size is just too tedious for me, Don't get me wrong, they do have the Wow factor but they are hard work.  The red and gold paper you have used is lovely and the embellishments you have used work really well, thank you so very much for taking part my lovely XXX 

Brenda

Brenda has used Categories:

Red/Embossing/Ribbon

For her fantastic Challenge card, using that lovely embossing folder to create an ornate corner to use as a starting point for the lovely design, the paper you have used for the parcels is beautiful,  such a vibrant green colour too, as always with Brenda the bows are perfectly tied!! Brenda thank you so much for taking part, I wasn't expecting a card as you have had a lot on this week. Sending hugs, I hope you get to relax today XXX

Sue

Sue has designed a stunning Christmas card for our TicTacToe Challenge this week, using Categories: Twine/Red/Die cut.

Wow Sue what a stunning card, I love how you have used the Snowfall Acetate, what an amazing design,  that Sentiment is lovely too and is the perfect size to be the focal point of your card. That lovely red/white striped bakers twine creates the perfect edger with those snowflakes! WOW Sue, thank you SO much for taking part XXX

*************************
