#45 - Tic Tac Toe

This week I thought we should have a game for our challenge so let's play TIC TAC TOE.  Following the graphic below, your vintage or shabby chic card must use three elements from the same row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.  Make sure you mention in your post which row you used.

We will choose one random winner who will receive a digi of our choice along with at winner's badge to display. The Design Team will also choose their Top Pick and that creator will receive a winner's badge but will also be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.

We are pleased to have a Guest Designer this week.  Heidi Augustson (a.k.a. Filharmonica) from Norway is joining us so  please make her feel welcome.

Heidi and the Design Team have created some wonderful inspiration for you.  To check out the details, click on their name and you will be taken directly to their blog.

Tutorial - Paper Rosette

Renee here and welcome to another tutorial.

My tutorial today will be teaching you how to make a rosette.

I've long admired projects that use a rosette on them and finally taught myself how to make them.

It's very easy and I think once you try it you'll want to use them on lots of your projects.

Step 1: Cut a strip of paper 12" x 2".  If you want a decorative edge then start your punch in the center.

 

Step 2: Cut the entire border

Step 3: Score every 1/4" or every 3/8".  I found those measurements work best and in this case I used 3/8" due to the pattern on my punch.

Step 4: Accordian fold on the score marks.

Step 5: Connect the ends (it will look a little like a cupcake paper) and punch a circle to bind it in the back. Place a glue dot, glue, or hot glue (works really well) on the circle.

Step 6: Fold the rosette flat and adhere the circle to the back.

Step 7: Turn over and use on your project.

To see how I have used this rosette, check out my card in this week's challenge.
