Happy Sunday, everyone! Paper Players has a fun, Tic Tac Toe challenge for you this week, so I hope you’ll play along.
Wood Textured Tree
I chose the end row, “die-cut, pearls, wood,” to make my thank you card.
Stampin’ Up! has a beautiful sheet of wood textured paper in the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper, so that was my starting point.
Next, I used the gorgeous tree from the Sweet Silhouettes Die Set to die-cut the “bush” from the wood textured paper.
The bird, perched on a limb, was fussy cut from a piece of Bird Ballad DSP.
For the background, I used a Rectangles Stitched Die to cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, which I embossed with the Subtle Textures Embossing Folder. Then, I cut a piece of Pool Party Cardstock to give it a border that matched my bird.
The card base is Thick Whisper White Cardstock that I embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.
After gluing everything together, I chose the sentiment, “Thanks,” from the Well Written Stamp Set. I used a label die from the Merry Christmas Die Set, which is the perfect size for many, small, sentiments. It’s easy to overlook, if its stashed with your holiday sets.
And, if it wasn’t for the Tic Tac Toe challenge, I may have forgotten the pearls,“the icing on the cake!”
Thanks so much for visiting! I appreciate your support, and shopping in my store! Now, check out the Paper Player’s blogs to see how they used Tic Tac Toe.

What a pretty card…I have trouble with those intricate dies…well, I don’t have trouble, I just don’t have PATIENCE! I totally skipped that pretty woodgrain paper, too…perfect for your tree! And I agree, that little label die is easy to overlook…I just used it myself for a project! Very pretty creation, I especially love the Subtle panel…such a nice touch!
Absolutely stunning, Su! Clean and perfect. You are such an inspiration!
Love the layered textures and that fabulous wooden tree branch Su – just the perfect resting place for your bluebird. All that white really does allow the branch to stand out; fabulous!
WOW!!! Another incredible CAS design. Love your choice to use wood patterned paper for the tree die cut – gorgeous! The pretty fussy cut bird adds a pop of color to your design and that perfectly placed sentiment label completes this delightful creation. Once again, I am in awe with your mastery of CAS design with your card making. Nicely done!!
Wow, Susy! What a wonderful comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to notice the detail!
Beautiful! The texture on this card is gorgeous!
I’m so glad you like it! thank you, Laurie!
