Thank You to all the service men and women, and their families who serve in the USA military!
I was asked to make some thank you cards for the little league baseball team . The main stamp I used is so old, its Dots sports border. What I love about this stamp, is I just color the sport I want to use. Like when its football I only color the football and helmet, basketball just the ball. I thought the Anniversary thank you softened the bold Alpha blocks. I love these Alpha Blocks I think they help finish a card fast without adding a lot more. The main team color was red with some brown. Everything is PTI with the exception of the sports border.
This is such a great card. I have 2 sporty daughters, and am always looking for new ideas for sports themed cards, esp thank yous for the coaches. I have resisted the alpha blocks stamps until now, but I think you have given me a reason to take the plunge. You should get a commission. Your anniversary card with the Aloha sent me to the PTI store to buy that set, which I just LOVE. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my favorite card of yours MaryBeth. I love that tip about only coloring the ball of the sport you are featuring. Those alpha diecuts were perfect for the word Coach. Really great card today. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I agree, the thank you font is a great balance to the alpha blocks! I love the alpha blocks too, need to pull them out again. :)
ReplyDeleteMarybeth these are so CUTE! I LOVE them.. I have some of their stamps too.. the sports frame.. your making me want to ink it up! HA! :)
ReplyDeleteHope your day is GREAT!!
What a great card...I wish I was a coach! The alpha blocks are so great...fabulous idea! You knocked this one out of the park:)
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I love how you used the anniversary set with the sports stuff! The alpha blocks are great. Something else to add to my list!!
ReplyDeleteWow..great cards! Very creative and lots of hard work.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the alphabet stamps along the bottom and how you coloured in just the baseball pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love this card and I like how you can use it for different sports. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteMarybeth you've been busy! These cards look so professional. I love how you placed the sports equipment on the card and using the alpha blocks was just the right touch.
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent, Marybeth! Very well designed and each element balances perfectly with the others. They look so professional!
ReplyDeleteI love this card! Great work. I love your clever idea of highlighting one theme!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea to just colour the sport you need. and, now i have a good idea for my alpha blocks and a thank you card for my son's soccer coach.
ReplyDeleteLove this! i think you stamped those alpha blocks PERFECTLY - Full-inked stamps are tough and you make it look sooooo easy! Great card!
