Softball Thank You Cards

I just love the Game On paper - I love that you can add any color to it. In these samples I added Cranberry. Plus that star paper is just a favorite of mine so I love to use it and it's perfect for all sport themes! Here are the cards that I created at the end of the softball season. I used the Thanks stamp set and Let's Play Ball stamp set on all three cards.

This one was for the Team Sponsor - all of the kids on the team signed this one. I couldn't figure out what was bugging me about this card until I took the picture - the crooked stars are driving me crazy now, but it's obviously too late to fix! I used the "On The Edge" pattern from Wishes.

This one was for Daddy since he was one of their coaches. I used the "Up In The Corner" pattern from Wishes.

And this one was for their other coach and his two older daughters that helped in the dugout. I used the "Framework" pattern from Wishes.

And this is what I made for each of the girls on the team - there is a little packet of Propel Raspberry Lemonade mix tied to the tag - I love that stuff! I used my Coluzzle to cut two circles out of Bamboo and Cranberry CS then I used my corner rounder to create the scallop on the Cranberry circle. I used the Circle Around stamp set for the stars, the Say It In Style stamp set for the "Way to go!" and the Let's Play Ball stamp set for the ball.

And here is a quick slideshow of their softball season - the girls had fun and did really well, I think. Their team is made up of 5-8 year olds and they are batting using a pitching machine, which pitches around 30 mph, so I think that's impressive! Their team only won two games but some of them were pretty close. Their last game was on Wednesday and last night we had a pizza party at the park. The other coach's wife brought squirt guns so they had fun getting each other wet, especially their coaches! Brianna did really well, especially since it was her first year, and Kaylee has improved so much since last year - I can't wait to see how they do next year!

Thank You Cards

Here are some cards that I made last month but forgot to post - they all use one of my favorite new stamp sets called Thanks.

This one was for a club gathering that I had mid-May. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I just LOVE the circle cards in the new Wishes book. This one is the Timeless Trio pattern. I used the Bella paper pack, Hollyhock RicRac (attached using Liquid Glass), and the faux stitch look came from the X in the Moments in Time stamp set. I used my Circle Coluzzle to cut the card out of a folded piece of CS - I love my Coluzzle and wish it weren't being discontinued! I can't wait to see what cutting system CTMH comes out with, though!

This one was the Make & Take for my Open House at the beginning of May - it also uses the new Bella paper. The card on the left was my original card, inspired by the Mini Combination pattern from Wishes (I changed mine to a 4x4) and the one on the right was inspired by my SIL Sandy - she came to my Open House and did her own thing with the papers I had pre-cut, and I loved the results so I did something similar!

Here is another card using the Thanks stamp set. I made two of these cards - one for Kaylee's soccer coach and one for Brianna's soccer coach at the end of their season. I used the Game On paper and the Let's Play Ball stamp set for the soccer ball - you can't tell in this picture, but the ball is raised on 3-D Foam Squares.

I used this sketch from Card Patterns.

Thanks for looking!
