Card - Football Frame

Hi, I've been making some cards for Chris' birthday on Saturday. This one is for Josh to give, and is made using the "Sports Mania" cartridge. I've used the football (sized at 5") with the cartridge's frame feature - welded two together and used the Hide Contour Feature so the back piece was plain.

I then cut a football in white using the shadow feature, and attached the cut-out pieces from the frame to layer for the stitching. I've also sponged with ink so the football looks like it's old and worn (just like Chris' well-used football).

As the DoubleMates cardstock is double-sided, the white is charcoal on the back. This then shows through with full effect on the inside of the card.

The little footballs are cut using the border feature - welding 4 images together - and highlighted with a white Souffle pen.

I thought I'd also give you a sneak peak at something I've been working on for Scrappy-Go-Lucky. Can anyone guess what it might be?

Till next time,

Luv, Tereesa.

Card - Golfing Birthday

Hi, I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day and enjoyed being spoilt for the day. I have a few things I would like to share with you this evening. The first is a card I made for hubby's birthday. I had just received Sports Mania, so obviously had to use it. I also used the Cricut Markers for the tees in the background.

I used Love Struck to make this "manly" mailbox to match.

The golfer on the end matches the card.

As promised, here is the Mother's Day Tri-fold Card (from the Perth workshop) in the varying shades of lilac with the butterfly papers.

It's amazing how using other colours can make the same card look so different.

And lastly, I wanted to share the gorgeous Mother's Day card I received from Alyssa. I was very impressed with her colouring of the flowers, and in particular, her shading on the pots. Thank you, Alyssa.

That's it for tonight. Hope you are all having a great week and enjoying this beautiful weather before Winter sets in (although that means more indoor time for craft).

Take care,
Luv, Tereesa.
