For those of you that have been following my blog for quite some time, you’ve learned a little bit about me here and there over the years. Well today I have a little tidbit about all my years in junior & high school. I was an avid athlete. I played sports all year-round. To include varsity basketball, softball and volleyball. We even won the Maine state championship for softball my senior year. I couldn’t get enough of playing sports. I even continued on after graduation and played quite a few years of woman’s softball during a summer league. What memories. That’s why when I spotted the stamp set “Great Sport”, I just had to have it!
Take a peek:
What is really cool about this stamp set is once you have the background image stamped, you can add a baseball/softball, basketball, football or soccer ball. How clever is that?
I used “Stampin’ Dimensionals” to pop up my softball and my sentiment:
Everything you see stamped has been embossed to give it the puffy look. Here is a list of what I used for today’s card:
- Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black, Whisper White
- Inks: VersaMark
- Stamps: Great Sport, Friendship Preserves
- Tools: Big Shot Machine, Labels Collection Framelits, Window Frames Framelits, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Heat Tool, Black Embossing Powder, Tempting Turquoise Embossing Powder, Merry Mini’s Punch Pac, 1 3/8″ Circle Punch
- DSP: Neutrals Paper Stack
Thanks for popping in today and have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for doing this card and putting it on display. I have two boys in soccer as well as their dad and am always stumped as to how to make them each a card. I love the idea on substiuting the sports. Love your color choice and layout. Marlene
Love to see masculine cards. I struggle with masculine designs but this one is perfect.
Awesome card, Debbie! You have talked me into getting this set!
Very cool. My high school didn't have softball, but I played every summer on teams from when I was a kid up to starting a co-ed team at work many years after graduating from college. I loved it! It's nice reading a bit more about you. And I love the card and colors you chose.
Hugs,
Terry
