Summer Softball

My younger sister played summer softball when she was about 14 or 15. I haven't thought much about it until I pulled out some supplies to make a card. Funny how some things trigger memories of many years ago! Don't you think?

Hey, it's Judy V here with a card project for Pajama Crafter Stamps with Play Ball Stamps, the Legends Born Stencil andDang Whoa Yikes Word and Shadow Dies.


I went with a pretty simple card design this time around to create this A2 size top folding card.

Use ink to add color to the 4 x 5 1/4 inch white background panel with the stencil.

I stamped the girl batter directly onto the stenciled card panel with black ink. Stamp the girl batter 2 more times using a lighter black and a dark gray ink.Fussy cut before adhering in a staggered fashion to give the illusion of hitting the ball and follow through!

Die cut the word "WHOA" with white card stock. I die cut the shadow with a matte metallic card stock. Layer the word and shadow die cuts. Add an outline to the word with a glitter gel pen.

I stamped the "You're an All-Star" sentiment directly onto the background.

Adhere matte metallic card stock to the card base. Layer the background panel onto the base. Pop the "Whoa" die cut with foam tape.

I decided to stamp the ball, fussy cut and add to the word die cut.

Oh, how I enjoyed putting this card together and thinking of those summer softball memories!
