Baseball Fever!

 

Hi there!  Today Mary Taylor and I have another Card Buffet so this will be a quick post.  Here is one of the cards from our Buffet line-up, which has been popular.  (St. Louisians love their baseball.)  My inspiration came from this card posted on Paper Ecstasy's blog.  She doesn't list her name anywhere on the blog - only her friend's name, who is a Demonstrator.  (If you find out her name, please let me know.)  The Night of Navy card base was cut from the Circle Thinlits Die.  A template was used to draw a line for the "stitching".  Are you thinking the Chevron punch was used for the "stitching"?  Nope!  They were cut from one of the dies included with the Circle Thinlits and are smaller than those from the Chevron punch. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory.  If you have any questions about anything, though, please feel free to contact me.

Must get going!  Thank you for visiting today!

Hi there!  Thought I'd post today since it didn't happen Thursday or Friday.  Our granddaughter spent the night Thursday -  'nuf said!   So, onto the card.  This is a fun fold step card from Jayne Singleton's Stamp Camp last month.  (Funny how we both made baseball themed cards but different in styles.  Great minds think alike!  I'll post mine at a later date.)  Stampin' Up! Framelits were used for the baseball and banner.  The "stitching" was accomplished with our Chevron punch.  Some Silver Glimmer stars added some pizzaz.  Great card, Jayne!

That's it for now.  Enjoy what's left of the weekend and thanks for stopping in today!

Just Sayin'.....Play Ball

Hi there!  Here's an easy card for those baseball fans in your life.  I made this card for our nephew's birthday who is a huge Cardinal fan.  The "baseball" was cut out from a circle Framelit.  Anything round can be used as a guide to make curved pencil lines on each side of the "baseball".  I used a circle Framelit since it was handy.  Stitch marks were then added with a Real Red marker and the pencil lines were erased.  The Real Red background panel which was embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder, added some additional texture and interest.  A sentiment from the new Just Sayin'  set was stamped and cut out with the coordinating Word Bubbles Framelits.  Both items can be found in the Stampin' Up! 2014 Occasions Catalog and can be purchased as a bundle.  That saves you some money!  This bundle has become one of my favorite items from the Occasions Catalog!

Need to scoot to work on final preparations for our Card Buffet scheduled Sunday.  Thanks for visiting today!
