Cardinals Baseball Birthday Card

Oh my it has been forever since I posted on here. Actually haven’t made a ton of cards this year….personal life went crazy and had no free time. But trying to get into a new routine that includes crafting time! So welcome back!

I needed a Cardinal Baseball themed birthday card. I found the image on the internet and used sketch #1 from the Feb Card Sketch Challenge at Scrapbook.com as my inspiration. I also used KatieJo’s version of the sketch…I like how she had little hearts in the background so I used circles to look like confetti….well that was my plan anyways!

SUPPLIES:
Cardstock: Bazzill (Admiral, Bazzill Red, White)
Image: internet
Accents/Tools: Xyron X, computer, Your Next Stamp (Confetti Die)

Sport Themed Valentines

Had some customers want sport themed Valentine’s for their kiddos. I made 3 different ones with this style. One of the ladies wanted 3 sports (soccer, football and basketball) for her kids. So I made the basketball and football different so all the kids have their own individual card.

I used a sketch but not sure whose sketch it is as it was a challenge on Scrapbook.com.

I used Sketch Saturday#254 as my inspiration.

Baseball baby cards

There seems to be a lot of people having babies so I have several request for baby cards.

A lady asked for a “Congratulations on becoming a Grandma” card that was to have a baseball/cardinal theme. But has now turned into more of a birthday card for grandma. I have sent her the 3 cards but not sure email is cooperating so I’m going to post them here so she can see them and pick which one she likes best. Then we will work out the wording.

Option #1:

Sketch: Seems A Little Sketchy #47

Option #2:

Sketch: Tuesday Morning Sketches #211

Option #3:

Images found on the internet

Wednesday Rewind Challenge #8

If you have not checked out this challenge it is a MUST! I love her cards and love sketch challenges so this was a win/win for me!

She will post a card she has done in the past and then she does a new version of it and so do we!

This month the card stumped me as I’m not a big ribbon user the way it was used on this card. But I was determined to play. So glad I did cause it made me think outside the “card” and I really like how this came out.

Go here to see the card that I “lifted”.

Here is my version:

Can you see the sketch but see how I made it mine! I love it!! Thank you Tarynne for the inspiration!

CHALLENGES:

1) Made Fresh Daily Wednesday Rewind Challenge #8 (MFDWR8) –  On the 5th of every month I will post a card that I made from a couple months ago up to a couple years and I will lift the card. How do you play? Lift the card also! You can turn it, add to it, take away from it, as long as I can still see the original sketch in your card!
