Tic Tac Toe Trio

Make a card quickly and without stamps and inks and use up your scraps of beautiful paper.

When gifting cards I often allow the recipient to choose a sentiment.  In a package of three cards, I give them a choice of Get Well Soon, Happy Birthday, Praying for You, Thank You and Thinking of You.  I usually give an extra Thank You and Thinking of You sentiments. I make the sentiments up ahead of time by using my Crafts by Beth CPP Sentiments.  Copy, Print and Punch.  Click HERE for more information. I also include a business card stating how to use them.  For the business card information, see below.

Ever Eden Designer Series Paper Tutorial

You purchased the over the top Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper and you want to begin using it.  Use my card designs to create gorgeous cards using this DSP.  Don't worry about creating a card and cutting up this exquisite DSP only to be disappointed in your design and/or you ruined a piece of DSP with the wrong measurement. 

I created this tutorial for nine cards, five of which are FUN FOLDS! I did not purchase the coordinating stamp and die set for my tutorial. The products I used can be easily substituted with stamps, dies, ribbon and embellishment you have in your craft room.  I have listed below all the products used for every card.

This tutorial is available FREE with your purchase of $50 or more Stampin' Up! products using my Hostess Code. The code can be found in the upper right hand corner of this blog (desktop version).

This tutorial is also available for purchase for only $9.95.
