It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week’s theme is “Repetitive Backgrounds!”  We could use words or images that are repeated.

MATCH DAY

I love this bundle!  I’m hoping we get a bunch of sports themes like this (hockey, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, gymnastics)…and my customers are wanting pickleball stamps!  I used one of the greetings for my repetitive background!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Granny Apple Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Smoky Slate cardstock was stamped randomly with the Match Day greeting in Smoky Slate Ink in the background.
• A 2 x 4 strip of A Wonderful Match DSP was added towards the bottom.
• The uniform shirt and #1 was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and the trim colored with Light Shaded Spruce and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends over it to get the Garden Green color.  It was cut with the Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The soccer ball was cut from Basic Black cardstock with the Die and adhere to Basic White 1-3/8″ circle (or trim around the ball itself).  It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The whistle was cut with the die from Silver Foil.  Some black Baker’s Twine was added to the end and tied in a knot, then adhered to the front with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional and a Mini Glue Dot for the twine.
• A trio of black Moody Palette Glossy Dots were added to the background.

It’s that FUN!  Love how the background turned out!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. For the next several weeks we will be “Casing the Designer”. Each week we have picked a designer and will select a card she designed. We will use the Colors or Layout of her design and recreate our version using NEW stamps/bundles or DSP!  For our next “Case the Designer” week we are “Casing Lori de Groot”!

Here’s the card I selected from her posts.

MATCH DAY

And here is the card that I recreated using her layout and the Match Day Bundle and DSP!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 layer of Azure Afternoon was added on top.
• The A Wonderful Match DSP was cut to 3-3/4 x 5 and added to the Azure Afternoon cardstock.
• The Stitched Shapes circle was cut from Azure Afternoon cardstock and adhered to the front, flat.
• The trophy was cut from Silver Foil Paper and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The flag was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.  It was cut with the Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The soccer ball detail was cut from Basic Black cardstock and adhered to Basic White cardstock, then hand-cut around the circle shape.  It was added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting was omit stamped with Azure Afternoon Ink on Basic White cardstock, then trimmed to read Biggest Fan.  The end was cut at an angle.  It was added on top of the soccer ball, flat.

LOVE my reincarnation of Lori’s original card from last year!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
