Football (Soccer) Birthday Card using Stampin' Up's Circle Thinlits Flip Die.

Hello,

Advanced Warning: This is Picture Heavy Post, grab a cuppa ;-)

Yesterday was my friends son's 11th Birthday and he is football crazy. I have made many football birthday cards over the years and so I had to come up with something new and a bit different this year so I turned to the Circle Thinlits Die and some of the Adventure Bound DSP stack which, handily, has a few sheets of this fun grass paper - perfect for this card!

 I started with a Garden Green tri-fold circle thinlits die cut and added panels of the grass paper. 

Please see HERE for the tutorial on how to make this and also cut the paper to fit - plus 4 other designs with this die ;-)

To make these footballs I glued hexagon punched white and black card to crumb cake card, punched the "ball" out using the 2+1/2" circle punch and inked the edges with a sponge and some crumb cake ink

 Some black chevron ribbon flags inside. This ribbon is retiring :-( but on the upside it is now just £4.13 a roll, but only while stocks last!

 These banner punch outs are cut from some (retired) Christmas DSP and I added numbers using the Back to Basics Alphabet stamp set

 A little collage of some more of the card including the back ;-) 

All supplies are listed at the end of this post.

 And it folds to fit a standard sized C6 envelope too (sorry this pics not great though!)

 I glued the ribbon to these kebab sticks using my hot glue gun

and one last pic of the football to finish ;-)

 Well, the birthday boy liked his card and there were smiles all round :-)

Thanks as ever for looking today,

Please pop over to my shop for some last minute bargains in the clearance and remember to use the hostess code for orders under £150 to receive a little gift from me too.

Circle Thinlits in Gold and Cantaloupe

Hi!

I have a card today using my much underused Circles Thinlits die. I referred to my previous tutorial (HERE) to make this three panel sized card using this die :-)

I was inspired by a card I made a long time ago that I spotted again when I was updating my links at the end of my posts on here. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram you might have seen I decided (in my infinite wisdom) to change my Twitter name to #cardsandacuppa but unfortunately for me I then had to update all the links on here! Meaning I had to go back to modify each post for nearly two years! On the upside I remembered cards I had totally forgotten about and so this is where the colours for this card have come from!

Anyway, enough waffle. I'm going to share the card with you now.

I started with a Crisp Cantaloupe base and topped each section whisper white card then added gold vellum paper over this...

 The sentiment is from a retired set and was stamped over a brush stroke from work of Art with some mini butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set which I heat embossed in Gold.

 A larger butterfly I added inside

 I also added a thick cantaloupe twine and gold bakers twine bow

 inside

 Closed. I left the back panel blank for writing on.

and one final photo to finish

OK, that's all for today. Thanks for looking and I hope you liked today's card.

**Note: Please remember that Sale-a-Bration finishes on the 31st March! This is the very last few days to get those goodies you really want/need for FREE with every £45 spent. Please pop over to my SHOP for a look around before they go forever :-)

And be sure to come back here tomorrow as I'll be back with a new Photo Tutorial for you!!
