Saints Football Shaker Card for a Teenage Boy

Hi there,
Today's card is one I made for my friends football mad son recent birthday! I use this (retired) football (soccer) set just about every year for his card and this year I went with a shaker card...

 I added some stamped footballs and mini sequin stars to the shaker part
TIP: When using stamped images in a shaker card add a dimensional to the back of a couple of footballs (in this case) and two layered dimensionals to the rear of another couple of images so they don't all stick and stack up together in the shaker!

 I used "Work Of Art" to make the "saints" stripes by heat embossing them in white.

Inside the card had a little decoration too.

 And one last look for today :-)

I still love a shaker card, don't you?

Football Shaker Card in Southampton/Saints colours using Stampin' Up! Products :-)

Hello there, 

Today I have a card that actually turned out exactly as I envisioned! Now that doesn't happen too often - well, not to me anyway! It was my friends sons birthday and he is football crazy, particularly Southampton, who are otherwise know as the Saints (if you are a non-football person ;-))

The Saints kit is red and white striped and I wanted to incorporate that in the card and make it a shaker card and this is what I came up with...

 I used a Neat and Tangled die for the striped background and topped it with stamped footballs from the (retired) Goal stamp set by SU! and some flat sequins before sewing a top layer of window sheets over the top... It's not the neatest sewing, I admit, so don't look too closely please ;-)

 This Happy Birthday is from the Party Wishes stamp set which is on the retiring list too :-(

 As you can see here this is quite a flat shaker card so I chose just the flat sequins from the pack.

 And a top view of the card.

 TIP: Try using washi tape to seal your envelopes for a bit of extra decoration ;-)

And I even decorated the bag to match today!

Well, the birthday boy liked his card and I hope you do too?
Thanks so much for looking today.

Football Crazy!

Hi there,

Football Crazy, that's just the perfect title for this card and the little lad I gave it too, he truly is Football Crazy! I used the Hexagon punch to make this cool football background and added a Blue Ribbon rosette in his favourite team colour (Southampton).

Do you like my new little house I have to take pictures in btw? I picked it up when we went to London for the day last month ;-)

 I heat embossed with Gold Powder the birthday sentiment in the centre, the Heat Tool is actually on offer this week only as part of the Weekly Deals offer

 can't forget to add ribbon can we? Just "Man Style" with staples ;-)

 and inside I added a stamped off version of the rosette to finish

OK, that's it from me for now, I'l be back tomorrow though with more!

Football Monster Hugs!

Hi there,

I have been playing with my Monster Hugs this week and so have 3 cards to share with you over the next few days! Finally, I hear ;-) and I'm going to start with a Football (soccer) version today.

Now, these are meant for small gift giving and would make fab party favours, table presents or why not pop one between pass the parcel layers? So many uses but alas there are no birthdays coming along in our house soon so I decided to add these little cuties to a card :-)

I stamped the football onto a 10.5 square Garden Green card using versamark and added a sentiment from Blue Ribbon layered with Champagne glimmer paper (all links to products are at the end of this post) to make this....

 I wanted to make the football 3d so I used lots of punches for this but if you don't have them you could simply stamp out 3 or 4 and stack them in his arms. 

For mine I stamped the ball 4 times with staz on and punched with the 1+1/4", 1", 3/4" and 1/2" circle punches, layering each with dimensionals, et voilà!

 these little monsters have a note on the back and this cute butt too! I wanted to see this on this card so I punched out an XL Oval for this window ;-) Cute huh??

OK, I will be back tomorrow with another Monster hugs card.

Thanks for looking today!
