Christmas Cheer

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built.  This week we have a fun Tic Tac Toe board for you:

  Tic Tac Toe challenges are probably one of my favorite challenges (other than sketch challenges).  I love that you can pick and choose what YOU want to do for the challenge.  I don't usually take time to make fun folds, but for this challenge I decided to step outside my comfort zone and have a little fun.
Here is what I created for your inspiration:
I decided to go with a swing (flip) card so I could use one of the awesome swing stamp sets from Repeat Impressions.  I think with all of my swing sets I have cut apart the sentiments and images so I can use them as intended or in whatever way I want to use them.
I used the top row of the board: Fun Fold, Snowmen, Silver/Gold (I used gold eyelets for just a touch of gold).
The poor snowman on the front looks so plain, but once you open up the card, he puts on all his Christmas cheer!
At first, I was thinking there wasn't any place for writing a greeting, but there is plenty of space on the back of the card.  If you are interested in making your own Swing (Flip) card, I used this tutorial, and she has a whole A-Z list of fun folds that you can check out here.

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.

Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Snowman 2-sided Swing Stamp Set" (both images and all of the sentiments are included in the set) and "Holly Sprig"
Dies: Verve "Vintage Oval"; MFT "Blueprints 25" stitched banner; PaperTrey Ink fancy border die

  3. I love how this fun fold card opens up to find the snowman decked out for Christmas when opened! Very clever idea and so beautifully designed! Thanks for reminding me to get out some eyelets and use them again too :)
