Hi! Design Team Time for Tic Tac Toe (#287). Eight possibilities and so much choice.
From the Board, I selected the left column, the center row and the left diagonal. The elements: Circles, Layering, Neutral Colors, Encouragement, Embellishment Dots, and Embossing.

My design was influenced by Stampin’ Up! Only (#395) to case (copy and selectively edit) a card created by team member Tammy Fite.

Sharing this card with Inspire Create (#210) with a Floral theme and Creative Crafters (#97) Anything Goes.


Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Crumb Cake cardstock.
- Background Panel: (4⅛” x 5⅜”) Crumb Cake cardstock dry-embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
- Accent Mat: (3½” x 4¾”) Very Vanilla colored Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper.
- Strips: (1¾” x 4½”) Floral patterned piece of paper from the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper pack, an On-Line Exclusive product; (¾” x 4½”) Early Espresso Two-Tone cardstock (light side) die-cut with the Mini Floral die from the Lovely Arrangements Dies set, also an On-Line Exclusive product, and (⅝” x 4½”) Crumb Cake Woodgrain patterned paper from the Woodgrain Wonders Designer Series Paper pack, a new On-Line Exclusive product available in March.
- Circle Element: (2¼” x 3”) Early Espresso Two-Tone cardstock (light side) die-cut with the larger overlapping Circles die from the Swirly Designs Dies set, another On-Line Exclusive product.
- Sentiment Banner: (4¼” x 1⅛”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
- The sentiment, You can do anything, from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set, the January 2026 Exclusive Product of the Month, was stamped with Early Espresso ink and flagged with the retired Banner Pick a Punch.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble Tammy’s layout. A few Pressed Flower Motifs were added to complete the card.
A lovely encouragement card.

Looking forward to seeing which column or row you choose from the Tic Tac Toe Board for your creation.
