One of my FAVORITE paper packs in the NEW Annual Inspirations Idea Book is the Urban collection. J
I was recently apart of a swap ( I make multiples of 5 different creations & get others in return) and I chose to use the Urban paper.
I thought I would share one of the cards I created today. (and I’ll share the rest of these items in the upcoming weeks here on my blog. J )
Since football season is just beginning, I wanted to try my hand at using this NEW “Play Hard- football” stamp set.
So, I went to our handy-dandy Wishes How-to-book for some inspiration, and this card is what I came up with….let the football season begin!
OH FUN!!
Did you notice the RED outlines on the stamp set?
These RED lines DO mean something!!! It means these shapes coordinate with one of Close To My Heart’s 5 Cricut cartridges…in this case it’s our NEWEST cartridge – Artistry!!!
For the Star border – I welded 3 strips together, and created my own border. This image can be found on the “U” key.
The “shield” image was found on the “Patriotic” key….notice I used the new PEACOCK color cardstock for the base of this shield!!
For the football player himself, I stamped him 4 different colors, and paper pieced him together.
I also was thrilled when I thought to background stamp the “plays” on top of the already created Background paper!! The background was dry embossed with our chevron embossing folder, then sanded, and sprayed with our spray pen….just a bit of added texture.
I think that’s all for now….please come back and join me again AND if you’d like to create your OWN football card – here is the list of items I used below! Happy Crafting!! J

Wow, Krista, What a great card. Love all the paper piecing and added dimension you added. It's amazing how far stamping has come since I joined up over 18 years ago when everything was one layer. You do awesome work!!!
