Have a Ball!

I had this idea for a birthday card ever since purchasing this baseball paper. This morning, I put my vision on paper!

I created a baseball glove out of caramel cardstock (I worked from a template I made in case I wanted to make more!) After adding the detail with chocolate marker, I sponged the edges to give it depth.

I cut out a baseball from the dp and used it as the template for the card opening. I used my Creative Memories cutting system to create the folded over circle (the one that closest matched the size of the baseball.)

Once again, I used my Cuttlebug numbers folder to make the cut out number on the front (I just embossed a piece of red cardstock and then cut out the number I wanted to use!)

A few punched holes with hemp ties completes the front of this card.

I used Karen Foster snap stamps to create the inside sentiment-"Have a Ball!"

Materials used: Stamps-Karen Foster Stamp stamps; real red, creamy caramel and white cardstock (Stampin' Up!); chocolate chip and close to cocoa classic stamp pads (Stampin' Up!); sponge; chocolate chip stamp and write marker (Stampin' Up!); sponge; baseball paper from The Paper Studio; Cuttlebug and numbers embossing folder; Cropadile; hemp (Stampin' Up!); Creative memories cutting system.

Thanks for stopping by! (Have to go clean play dough off my kitchen floor!)
