Bella & Friends Birthday - Tic Tac Toe Challenge #035

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday again and this week my board is being featured. I hope you will find it inspiring enough to join us and create your own project with these elements.

Since I chose the elements on this board, I felt a little extra challenged so my card features all the elements!

Stampin Up Bella and Friends Birthday Card - Rosanne Mulhern

Here’s the details

The card base is Pool Party card stock with a mat of Whisper White card stock cut 1/8″ smaller.
The next layer is a pattern from Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper collection and is cut an additional 1/8″ smaller. I like cards with these subtle margins. I think it gives just enough dimension and color.

Stampin Up Bella and Friends Birthday Card Idea- Rosanne Mulhern

My plaid comes from the 1/2″ Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon…who doesn’t love gingham?! I wrapped it around the Whisper White and DSP layer before adhering them to the Pool Party card base.
I layered a Whisper White oval from the Stitched Ovals Framelits over a Pool Party scalloped oval cut from the Layering Ovals Framelits. These are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals
The number is cut from the Large Numbers Framelits. I used a glitter paper from my stash. It’s funny, I was browsing in JoAnn Fabrics last week and came across the glitter paper in such pretty pastel colors for 60% off so I picked up a few colors not really knowing what I would do with them…and lo and behold…I really did need it! LOL
I popped the number with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This cute little pup from Bella and Friends stamp set is stamped in Black Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. He’s also popped with Dimensionals.
A little red enamel heart gives a POP of color to this largely monochromatic card.
The birthday banner is a stamp and die set from Clearly Besotted stamps.
Lastly, a sweet little gingham bow is the finishing touch!

Stampin Up Bella and Friends Birthday Card Inside- Rosanne Mulhern

For the inside sentiment, I reached into some of my old sentiment sets that I’ve saved. You can never have enough sentiments, so they are so worth hanging unto…IMHO!
Another cute little colored pup puts some fun on the inside.
