Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge - #JOSTTT008 Jane Allmark Design Team

It's that time again the Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge for August and my goodness the grid this month was fun. I chose YELLOW - ANIMAL - SCHOOL as I thought that would be a real challenge.

I decided to do a first day at school theme and the This Little Piggy stamp set was the perfect little cutie to portray that thrill and excitement of the first day of school.

The back pack or satchel was a little more difficult but I found a little case stamp that worked and then just drew some lines to attach it to the pig.

The yellow was easy with the lovely Brights 6" x 6" dsp patterned paper as it has this lovely Daffodil Delight check.

The words were from the retired Labeller Alphabet which I still use all the time for personalised wording.

This card really made me smile as I remember all those little ones in my family running off to school on their first day.

So why don't you have a go at this month's challenge and if you are chosen as the winner you get to be a Guest Designer for the following month.

Here's the grid

so you can see there is lots to choose from. Follow the link HERE and look forward to seeing your entry.

How to align your sentiments easily with the Stamparatus & some window sheet.

This is the easiest tip ever.  Ever struggled getting sentiments aligned and find that they are crooked or just not where you expected them to be? Use the STAMPARATUS and some window sheet or the sheet from the retired Stamp-a-Majig for an easy way to ensure your stamps are straight.

This cute little card uses the THIS LITTLE PIGGY stamp set and there are several different techniques for you to try.

Hinge step stamping - Masking - Window sheet sentiment placement.

Here is a step by step video tutorial for you to see exactly how to do these techniques. So do give them a try and let me know how you get on.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.

Stampin Up This Little Piggy

This Little Piggy went to market
This Little Piggy stayed at home,
This Little Piggy had roast beef,
 This Little Piggy had none,
and

This rhyme I used to play with my babies when the were Little taking each one of their little toes and singing this rhyme then tickling them with each 'wee! wee! wee!'

So this card was in memory of all those good times. However it would make a good New Home card.

Stampin Up This Little Piggy Birthday Card

Stampin Up This Little Piggy Birthday Card

Hello everyone and welcome.  Today is a very special day for me as it is my grandson's 8th birthday.  I am very blessed to have 6 grandchildren and they bring me joy every day.

So the card today is This Little Piggy in blue for a boy.

The new embossing paste 

is absolutely brilliant.  Use one of our lovely masks, I used the brick pattern, add a couple of drops of reinker  I used dapper denim and emerald envy and you have a lovely textured background.  I fussy cut the piggy and then took a combination of the sentiments plus a Happy Birthday from the Best Birds and added a number 8.  

I know that he will love it and will laugh at his Nanny saying "This Little Piggy say Happy Birthday Hogs and Kisses"

This Little Piggy is such a lovely stamp set and who doesn't love a smiling little piggy.
