Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am taking part in a blog hop with some fellow enthusiasts who love sharing their creative talents using their Stampin' Up!® products.

This month in the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop we are creating projects using a Tic-Tac-Toe grid for our inspiration. The idea is to use the elements from a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line as the starting point for a design.

I'm using the diagonal line from top left to bottom right for the ingredients for my card; Fall, Fun-Fold and ribbon, although I did take liberties with the ribbon element and I used Linen Thread instead!

I love Fun-Fold cards and I'm always on the look out for different ones to try. I saw Jacque Williams demonstrate a cascading pleat fold card and this is my take on it. I selected Autumnal colours, some Nests of Wineter DSP and the Changing Leaves bundle to create this Fun-Fold Fall card.

The Blackberry Bliss card base is folded accordian style to support the cascading layers. The largest, Copper Clay layer at the back is embossed with the Changing Leaves folder to give a deeply etched pattern of falling leaves. The DSP on the middle layer provides a backdrop for the posy of fallen leaves which are arranged on a Blackberry Bliss layer. It has been overstamped with the largest leaf stamp using Versamark ink for a subtle tone on tone effect.

This little layer is decorated with a selection of die cut leaves creating a posy and has  lengths of Linen Thread wrapped around it before it's added it to the card using dimensionals. The small die cut label is perfect for the white heat embossed sentiment and I've finished off with a trio of Garden Green gems.

It was great to have the Tic-Tac-Toe board as a starting point, and I'm so happy that I have found another fun-fold card to try. I hope you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too...enjoy the projects! We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.
