In November, my entry into the Tic Tac Toe Challenge was the Designer’s Pick, and today is my turn at guesting with them. As soon as I saw the new Tic Tac Toe board, I knew I had a perfect opportunity to create a birthday card for my husband.
Tracy was born on St. Patrick’s Day, so the middle row (Die Cut, Green, and Layers) worked perfectly. I had already settled on the die and stamp set I wanted to use before I saw this board, but it worked out perfectly.
I’ve owned this You’re My Type from Sugar Pea Designs for several years. A friend borrowed it once and made a card, but I’d never used it before. I die cut the typewriter in three colors: green, gray, and matte silver.
After assembling the typewriter and message, I remembered an old Impression Plate, Book Plate, by Papertrey Ink. You can see the typewriter style words embossed on the light gray layer. I opted for a narrow green border before adding the main panel to a darker gray card base. The hearts were added to coordinate with the inside greeting:
The stamp set didn’t come with quite the message I wanted so I used the computer to generate the sentiment which I die cut with Hero Arts Infinity Heart dies.
There are lots of ways to play Tic Tac Toe this time, and I hope you’ll join it.
Fabulous. Really like the typewriter.
Lovely in every way! He’ll be thrilled with it.
I was surprised to read that you hadn’t used that typewriter before, as I was sure I had seen it on one of your earlier cards. But after scrolling back to February 2017, I’m pleased to confirm that it was a different typewriter! (Just so you know I’m paying attention. Haha! 🙂)
Fabulous card, I have this typewriter and love it! Love these colours and the book plate embossing is perfect with it, Cathy x
Karen… how fabulous! The background is brilliant… I have never seem that impression plate but it is perfect and makes your sweet birthday card all the better. Love that your husband was born on St. Paddy’s! Thank you so much for guesting with Tic Tac Toe!!
This is fabulous! This typewriter die from SugarPea is one of my favourite dies and you’ve used it beautifully here. So happy to have you guesting with us at Tic Tac Toe.
