Clive's Basketball

My Grand nephew turned 8 a couple weeks ago and he loves Micheal Jordan so I thought he would appreciate a basketball card. It was simple to make. I Cut a large circle with circle scissors out of tangerine tango card stock. Then I drew the lines, first with pencil then with black marker. and stamped the HB sentiment. Then ran it through the Big Shot with the perfect polka dots ef. I attached it to a card that I made with the scallop circle Bigz die with the fold down a little from the top so I would have a card that would open. I was very happy with how it turned out. He liked it a lot.

The Lone Tree

When I make a card that is designed by Michelle Zindorf I feel like a real artist. She is so talented and shares her tutorials with everyone so I occassionally make one of her cards. It always gets ooowws and aaaahhhs when I give it away. Saturday my son will turn 30 years old, don't ask me where the time has gone, but he will receive this for his birthday card with a nice surprise inside. He is an artist so I hope he enjoys this a great deal.

Actually you may think that this is a complicated, long process to get this card done but it took me about 15 minutes to complete. Here is the link to the tutorial. Give it a try and you may surprise yourself.

If you have any questions let me know. If you want to order anything from Stampin' Up go to my website and with just a $50 order you can choose a FREE SAB item.

Greeting Card Kid at Christmas

Here's a quick Christmas project for you. This really features the Big Shot in several ways.

• I used Real Red card stock, which is a staple in my workshop, and ran it through on the scallop square Bigz Die making sure the top was pulled down as not to get cut on the fold.
• Then I ran it through again with the front of the card in the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.
• It got sponged in white craft ink
• The Garden Green Scallop Circle is cut using the Circle #2 Bigz die and paper pierced each scallop.
• I used the Circle Scissors to cut the 2 3/4" Whisper White circle
• Then the cute little Christmas girl was stamped with Basic Black from Greeting Card Kids  and colored with markers. The sky was sponged with Bashful Blue and I used a scallop circle of card stock punched out of a scrap to mask her from getting the sponging and to form some clouds.
• Mono adhesive was used to add Dazzling Diamonds glitter to her fur and scarf.

Cute for sure and fun to make. Any questions let me know. Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.
