Hello and welcome to my blog!

There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!

Casually Crafting Tic Tac Toe Challenge - December 2022 | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie

Today's Project

I love Tic-Tac-Toe Challenges and this challenge created by Sara is a fun one!  

I have been known to do a complete coverage of the elements... and today I was close!  

I created a "C" with the top row | left column | bottom row.

Project Details

Petal Pink, Highland Heather and Soft Sea Foam were the colors I chose to play with for the challenge.

I also tossed in a little black, white, Early Expresso and Pool Party for some highlights.

The cute All Bundled Up friends were all decked out in their warm accessories.

An Early Espresso watercolor pencil and a Blender Pen worked together to color the raccoon and moose.

The snowflakes were stamped with Pool Party ink straight across to create background stripes.

The brush tips of the Stampin' Blends created the broad stripes while the bullet tip created the thinner ones. 

The rabbit was fussy cut along with the heat embossed Framed & Festive sentiment.

The Soft Sea Foam 3/8" Seam Binding Ribbon created another stripe as it hugged the fun-fold and closed it up with a bow.

The Basic White Medium Envelope front and flap were also stamped to coordinate with the card front.

The inside of the card is where all the fun is!

The left side was stamped to compliment the card front by finishing the carol that you will catch yourself singing over and over again.

The right side was folded and adhered to hold a gift card.

I used the Cloud Punch for adding the notch for pulling out the gift card.

There is plenty of room on the right to correspond with the recipient to make them aware of the hidden treasure.

More Inspiration

I hope you have been inspired by my project and the Tic Tac Toe components.
