Papertey Blog Hop

Welcome to the Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop.

This months challenge was to make a project using a CD case. So I was not super creative but I do love what I came up with. This is Papertrey travel Checkers and Tic-Tac-Toe.

I used the Guidelines grid to create my checkerboard on Stampers Select and sponged Spring Moss into alternating squares.

I used my Scor-pal to create an insert and decorated it with the polkadots from Rustic Branches. I also used Simple Alphabet to spell out Papertrey Checkers along the spine. I adhered the board to the insert and used glue dots to keep everything attached to the case.

The tic-tac-toe board is just drawn onto Stampers Select with a Copic marker and adhered to another insert, made to fit the back of the case. This side has Papertrey Tic-tac-toe on the spine.

The large flowers from Floral Frenzy were stamped in Lemon Tart and Summer Sunrise onto Shrinky Dink material and shrunk with my heat tool. They came out the perfect size. I punched 5/8" circles from Stampers Select and glued to the bottoms of the flowers then stuck small squares of EZ Mount (the stuff you uses to make red rubber stamps usable with acrylic block, KWIM?) to the paper backing. This way the game pieces stick nicely to the cd case during your game and do not slide all around. And when you are done playing all of the pieces store in the case.

Wouldn't these bees and ladybugs make adorable game pieces?

Hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop. You can see all of the entries and chat in the PTI forum here. Thanks for visiting!
