Happy Sunday and welcome to the Paper Player’s Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge! Jaydee is our host this week.
It’s easy to play Tic-Tac-Toe. Select a column or row down, across or diagonally and create your project according to the themes in your selection! I chose the third column down on the challenge grid; a square card with a masculine look using a neutrals color palette.
My card is a 5″ square showcasing the Peaceful Cabin Bundle and the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper. Along with the Challenge themes this week, I was inspired by the Peaceful Place Product Suite.
It was the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper that made my decision to use the Peaceful Cabin Bundle for today’s Challenge. It’s one of Stampn’ Up!’s Specialty Designer Series Paper packs. Some of the designs are subtly embossed, some have silver sparkle built in and some are everyday patterns you can use for lots of projects. I left a large border around the stamped and die cut cabin scene to show off the beautiful patterned paper. The DSP’s color palette is Basic Black, Basic Gray and Smoky Slate.
The Peaceful Cabin Bundle includes the Peaceful Cabin stamp set and the Cabin Dies. This is one Bundle you can’t split. For a truly peaceful cabin scene you absolutely need both. It’s like having chocolate without peanut butter! You just can’t do that!!
Here’s how this card came together:
- The card base is a finished 5″ square with a 4 7/8″ Basic Gray cardstock layer.
- The patterned paper layer is a 4 3/4″ square.
- I stamped the cabin image with Basic Gray ink onto a 3 3/4″ square of Thick Basic White cardstock. The bottom of the stamped image is about an inch up from the bottom of the cardstock layer.
- I used the matching die to cut the top of the cabin image. The die fits across the top of the cabin perfectly.
- I die cut the two pine trees with the excess Basic White cardstock.
- The sentiment is stamped with Basic Gray ink.
- I added a few plain white Shimmer Sequins which are part of the Peaceful Place Suite.
- I wanted a little embellishment, but I wanted it to be subtle.
This card came together quickly and easily. This truly is a “Peaceful Cabin”.
So, pick a column or row, down, across or diagonally and create something fun or peaceful, or both to link up with us over at the Paper Players.

That’s a very nice card, Deb. It’s pretty yet masculine and so serene. Makes you want to live there.
This cabin is definitely peaceful!
Yowza, Debbie! This card is amaaaaaazing! A perfect masculine card! It’s simple, yet packs a punch. Have a wonderful week!
Perfect masculine card! I love the subtle details with the shimmer sequins and added trees! The square layout really works well with the cabin die cut! Have a great week!
This is so pretty and right about now I would take the solitude of a snow-covered cabin in the woods! Sounds so peaceful! Great card, Debbie!
This is fabulous Debbie – so serene and calm. The cabin definitely suits the square layout too. I love those papers – so perfect for creating a winter scene. Gorgeous!
Debbie, the muted colors work so perfectly for a more masculine card. What a wonderful way to showcase this fabulous stamp and the background is perfect for your card. I don’t make square cards anywhere near often enough – thanks for inspiring me! and thanks for rocking my challenge this week
