Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop August 2023

4 August 2023
22 Comments

4 Aug

 Hello Crafty Friends, 

My today’s post is for Let’s Craft Together August Blog Hop. Group of Australian Stampin’ Up! Demos joined together to do this monthly Blog Hop with challenges. So each month there will be a different Challenge.
Also, this month’s theme is Tic Tac Toe Sketch Challenge so you are going to see different projects from everyone today.

I picked the middle option – Friendship, Designer Series Paper and the Ribbon.

Stamp Set – Timeless Arrangements

DSP – Let’s Go Fishing


All the Stampin’ Up! projects I used here will be available in my online store. So check out the end of my blog post and click the picture to reach my online shop.

Here is the Tic Tac Toe Challenge Sketch 

Measurements:

  • Base card – Mossy Meadow – 10.5cm x 29.7cm scored@14.9cm Or (4 1/4″ x 11’scored@5 1/2″)
  • Layer 1: Mossy Meadow -9.7cm x 14.1cm Or (4″ x 5 1/4″) embossed 
  • Crumb Cake – 2cm x 14.1cm Or (3/4″ x 5 1/4″)
  • DSP – 3cm x14.1cm Or (1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″)
  • DSP for the TAG- 5cmx 7cm  Or (2″ x 2 3/4″) 
  • Adhere the Base card and the embossed layer 1 together using glue. 
  • Used the Bright and Balloon dies to cut the Crumb Cake cardstock on the sides of the DSP. 
  • Tear one side of the DSP using your hands and then adhere it to layer 1 cardstock using glue. 
  • Attach the tag (used Very Best Trio Punch to create the Tag) and cut the fish image from the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.
  • Adhere the Base card and the embossed layer 1 together using glue. 
  • Used the Bright and Balloon dies to cut the Crumb Cake cardstock on the sides of the DSP. 
  • Tear one side of the DSP using your hands and then adhere it to layer 1 cardstock using glue. 
  • Attach the tag (use the Trio Punch to create this tag) and cut the fish image from the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.
  • Attach it using Stampin’ Dimensional. Add the ribbon and the twine on top using glue dots. 
  • Stamp the sentiment using a Tuxedo Memento Black Ink pad and attach it using Dimensional. 
  • Remember to decorate the inside of the card using the scrap piece of the DSP.
