Baseball Fans

Hello Friends

Today I am making a fun card for those baseball fans especially since the season is getting close to the World Series!!  I am using several dies All Stars with ShadowBaseball Batter Silhouettes, and Baseball Glove, Bat and Ball.


Design Steps:

1.  Use the following dies All Stars with Shadow, Baseball Batter Silhouettes, and Baseball Glove, Bat and Ball:  cut out these colors of card stock: black, dark brown, white, red, navy, and kraft.  I made the home plate just by drawing it and free hand cutting.  I inked the home plate and the glove
2.  Use a cream colored A2 base card, cut a navy piece 4 x 5 1/4 and a DP woodgrain 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
3.  Glue the navy to the cream card base and then add the woodgrain
4.  Glue the Home Plate just slightly above center.  Pop up All Stars
5.  Pop up the glove and ball and then glue flat the silhouette ball player.  Ink the edges of the card base
6.  Add a few stars and your card is complete



Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Blessings and Take Care

Berry Sweet

Hello Friends

I  was getting low on my Thank You cards so I decided to make a few with the adorable Strawberry Plant and Berry Phrases dies.  Plus strawberries are one of my favorite berries!!


Design steps:

1.  Use the die Strawberry Plant and cut it out in white.  Use red, green and yellow inks to color in the strawberry plant
2. Cut a black A2 card base, cut a piece of white card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and run it through an embossing folder, cut a piece of red polka dot DP 1 1/2 x 5 1/8 layer onto black card stock, cut one scallop square  from black checked DP and one slightly larger black scallop square to layer the checked piece onto
3.  Glue the white embossed piece to the black card base.  Next add the strip of red and black to the front slightly to the left as shown above
3.  Cut the Berry Sweet out of black using the Berry Phrase die.  Glue the phrase to the bottom right of the card as shown above.  Pop up the black scalloped square and then glue down the Strawberry Plant as shown below.  Your card is complete
