I recently purchased a big beautiful stamp from the Colorado Craft Company, and I had been playing around with it, just testing it out, and the image was so pretty and stamped so nicely, I couldn't bear to toss it. It was being pushed around on my desk and when I saw the challenge had "red" as a square, I went to work to figure out how I could used that stamped image! SO....I have the middle row going across of Red, Fun or Fancy Fold and Ribbon or Twine:
So obviously, the stamp is big...and round...and I stamped it on a regular quarter sheet of cardstock, so I didn't get the complete design on it. But I hated to waste it! I used a huge stitched circle die to cut out what I could, did a little crease at the top and mounted it on a piece of Real Red cardstock embossed with some snowflakes, and then that all went on a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock to give it some weight. You can see how it folds out from this side view:
I added a shorted diecut tag with a sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas, and some Real Red ribbons:
When you flip it up, you have the sentiment in another circle and you can see all the embossed snowflakes:
I thought it was a good save, and I am looking forward to making a full-sized circle card with the whole design in the near future!
SO.....now what will tempt you from our Tic-Tac-Toe board? If you need to make a few more holiday cards, perhaps you'll find a "recipe" that will give you inspiration!
