Tic Tac Toe at The House that Stamps Built

 Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Here is the inspiration board that Wendy gave us to work with:

My choice was Black Cats, Gate Fold Card, and Embossing.

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

2308 E Bats

2322 G Black Cat

1139 F Halloween

Here's my creation:

and here is a view with the gatefold opened up. The left side of the sentiment strip was adhered with two small pop dots, while the right was adhered with two small velcro dots. Prior to mailing, I will add a white panel to the inside for my message. One of the 'grands' will probably get this one!

This was pretty easy (once my brain cells kicked into gear)! I actually had to call my bestie, Shirley, for a gentle reminder on measurements for the gatefold! 

Now it’s your turn! Create something using the Tic-Tac-Toe board above, and link it up at The House that Stamps Built. Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them! Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!

Check out my sidebar to see how you can save money on your RI orders!

Lots of things are on sale at Repeat Impressions, so hurry on over and take a peek!!!

Now, it's time to see what my fellow Rock Stars have created!

Sew Thankful...

Hi everyone!

Hope that you are all doing well. I am once again unable to do much more than a hobble...must find out what is going on. If the ice bag and I are together much more, we are going to have to get married!


I thought I'd share a card that I made a while back. It was a "reject", made for one of the on-line PaperCrafts call, so I think it's safe to post now. The images are all from a set called "Sew Thankful", from The Angel Company.

As you can see, this is gatefolded...

I made a belly band by covering a strip of brown CS (Bazzill) with a narrow lace trim, and then some narrower satin ribbon (Hobby Lobby). The sewing machine, needle, and sentiment were stamped with Versafine Brown Ink on Kraft (you all know my Kraft addiction...), then mounted on brown CS.

Adding a magnet strip to the back of each piece helped the sewing machine piece to double as a refrigerator magnet!

Randomly stamped the other images from the sets on the two panels, matted and adhered them.

Last, the dress form was stamped on Kraft, cut out and adhered with pop dots on the inside panel. The 'needles' had been stamped prior to adding the dress form.

Have a wonderful day! I'm going to try to work on some DT cards today, so hopefully, I will be back tomorrow with some fun things to show you.

Hugs and blessings...
Patti J.

Thought for today: Ouch.
