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 stamp sets I used are Swirls & Curls Verses (hostess, summer mini) and Awash with Flowers.

Accessories are: Blossom Party Bigz die, Little Leaves Sizzlit die, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Top Note Bigz die, Wild Wasabi 1/2" striped grosgain ribbon

Measurements are as follows:

Layer 5: The happy birthday I stamped on a scrap of WW and cut it down until I liked how it looked. It's about 3" x 1 1/4" then I sponged it with Wild Wasabi and colored in some of the letters. On the panel of flowers I took the Wild Wasabi marker and made little check mark stems.

Build a Blossom

• Here is a little card I made after seeing Dannie Graves make a card on her blog. I love how this turned out. The Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder adds so much to the background paper, and the Scallop Trim Border adds another touch of detailing.
• It's a snap to put this together using the Build a Blossom stamp set and the Blossom Petals punch, together they are an unbeatable combination. Both can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog that is good through April 30.
• The three silver brads were very easy to line up, I used the dots on the paper.
• The colors for the Card Stock are Melon Mambo, Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White
• The ink colors are Melon Mambo and Old Olive
• It measures 4 1/4" square.

For You, Clean and Simple

This card is very easy to make but it is really pretty and if you wanted to add some ribbon to doll it up a bit more you could certainly do that very easily.

• I just started with a piece of Old Olive cs 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 and folded it in half.
• ran a piece of 1 3/4 x 4 7/8 Tempting Turquoise cs through the Big Shot inside the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder then rounded the corners. Backed it with another piece of 2 x 5 1/4 Tempting Turquoise cs.
• Used Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise and Rich Razzleberry markers to ink up the stamp and then punched it out with the Scallop circle punch and popped it on the card using dimensionals
• Tip: Lightly sponge the polka dots with Tempting Turquoise ink to give them more definition

This was made using the set Punch Bunch stamp set, which is available for FREE with a $50 order from Stampin' Up

• Old Olive card stock was run through the big shot with the perfect polka dots embossing folder.

• the 2 x 1 3/8 oval punch in rich razzleberry
• Stamp Thinking of You in rich razzleberry and punched it out with the scallop oval punch.
