Congratulations Card for Your Little Slugger...

Anyone that knows me will tell you my favorite sport is baseball! 

Always has been since I was barely walking well. 

My father played when I was growing up, so I watched many games in person as a small child, then as a teenager I was a baseball manager for the junior varsity and varsity teams. 

I loved it! 

These days, I attend games when can, and watch them on tv even more. 

So the moment I saw this Slugger Sam digital image, from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, 

I knew I had to have it.

It is so versatile, you can color him any combination to match someones favorite team.

I mostly chose to use several shades of red, brown, and beige with my Copic markers.

I then also brushed all of the brown colored areas with the Gold Shimmer Brush. 
I popped him up with 3-D Foam Tape.

For the card itself, I started out with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 White Daisy Cardstock card base. 

I used a layer of Ruby Cardstock and then a layer of Kraft Cardstock.

I used a layer of Ruby Printed Paper from the Enchantment Fundamental Paper Packet. The polka dots were perfect for a sibilance of baseballs.

The little horizontal band across the card, is a layer of Ruby Cardstock as well. 

The Oval sentiment is a layer of White Daisy.

The sentiment "A Day to Remember" is a perfect way to celebrate your little Sluggers first game, championship, or a win!  
These two stamps together would be perfect for a scrapbooking layout as well!
The sentiment comes from the stamp set Highlight Reel, 
which will be our July Stamp of the Month! 

So keep in mind your will be able to purchase it in July for only $5 with any $50 purchase.

I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Finally, I added just a few little red dot embellishments from the Stargazer Dots pack.

A Quick Thinking Of You Card...

Here is a quick little thinking of you card, I made for a friend of mine that used to live here in North Carolina.

In the video I used the North Carolina Everyday Life Stamp Set, the Short & Sweet Stamp Set and the Enchantment Fundamentals Paper Pack. 

For a little extra dimension, there is some sponging around the circle with the sentiment on it.

The North Carolina stamp, is part of the entire United States collection. There is one for every state. And at only $2.95 for the set, you can't beat that at all. 

Here are a few of the others states:

Again each stamp set for the states is only $2.95, the perfect little stocking stuffer. It is not too early to start thinking about Christmas!
