...............................................

My grandson just celebrated his birthday and he is in love with baseball. To celebrate him and his love for baseball I created this fun card for him. My inspiration came from a photo I found on Zazzle.com.

I used the 4" circle framelit and Very Vanilla CS to create the ball, scoring the seams and filling them in with a black marker. I punched holes with a piercing tool and then used the holes and variegated red yarn to make the stitching. I stitched along one side and came back on the other, using the center hole for both sides.

Some sponging with Crumb Cake gave it the shading and dimension it needed. I used the now retired stamp set "Word Play" for the sentiment.

I really had a lot of fun making this card. Thanks so much for letting me share it with you.

Supplies:

CS: Very Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple, Birthday Basic DSP (130145)

INK: Raspberry Ripple, Basic Black marker, Crumb Cake

SS: Word Play (retired)

BIG SHOT:Circles Collection framelit (130911)

ACCESSORIES: Paper Piercer, red variegated yarn, needle, sequins

One More Newsletter Holder

This is the third of the three cards from last month's card class. The card is cute as is, with the Baker's twine tied through the card crease, but the twine also serves as a newsletter holder, as shown below. This makes a creative way to send your annual newsletter  :-)

I love these colors together (Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Old Olive) and the sentiment of JOY from the stamp set Word Play fits perfectly. I used the crimper on the Crumb Cake panel and an Early Espresso stripe DSP from the Neutrals Paper Stack.

Thanks for stopping by, hope that you have a great rest of the day!

Inkspiration Challenge

From Heidi...

I made this card for this week's Inkspiration Sketch Challenge. This was a great card sketch..although after I went back and looked at the sketch, I realized that I didn't really follow the sketch exactly. Oh well, next time!

For this card I used the Inlaid Embossing technique (which I think I'm stuck on right now, but I think it's such a cool way to make textured paper), to create this masculine themed card. I also used the stamp set Word Play using "Wish Big." I really love this little sentiment...and for fun, I added a red rhinestone bling to the star. Thanks for taking time to visit!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White

DSP: Digital Riding Hood Red Grid design

Ink: Soft Suede, Marina Mist, Riding Hood Red

 Stamp Set: Word Play

Accessories: Big Shot (Square Lattice Textured Impression Folder, Scallop Circle #2 Bigz Die); Punches (2-1/2" circle, 2" circle, 1-3/4" circle; Corner Rounder); Crimper, Paper Piercer, Jewels-Rhinestone (colored red with permanent marker), sponge

Sale-A-Bration Sketch Challenge

From Heidi...

Our SAB goodies have been sitting here for a few days, just waiting to be used. I never have time to play in any of the sketch challenges that are out there, but I thought that a challenge would get me using my SAB stuff and this was a nice simple sketch from Splitcoaststampers. I used the Ice Cream Parlor DSP and Flower Buttons. I sponged Cajun Craze and Pacific Point on the DSP. This is a new stamp set for us, too...it's called Word Play and it's so cute! It went perfectly with this paper.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies:

Paper: Cajun Craze, Pacific Point, Whisper White, Ice Cream Parlor DSP

Ink: Cajun Craze (sponging), Pacific Point (stamping and sponging), Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black

Stamp Set: Word Play

Big Shot: Square Lattice Textured Impressions folder

Accessories: Ice Cream Parlor Flower Button, sponge
