Good Sunday morning all! It's one for the sports fans in our lives today! I am always asked for cards for males and I think this one fills the bill! I started by cutting two sizes of multi layered frames using both sets of the
Double Stitched Rectangles. I cut both in black and white, layered them with mounting foam, then added them to a piece of
Sky Blue card as the backing colour (you can easily use whatever colour is from their favourite team, I am not really sure what team uses this colour!). Inside the inner frame, I cut the
Sports Frame out of black card then nipped it into a smaller piece with just the football (soccer for the other side of the pond) player kicking the ball into the goal. It fit perfectly into the smaller frame. I added the sentiment inside the frame cut in white with a black shadow. The card was finished with white, black and sky blue card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size.
Don't forget we are at Ally Pally all day today! It is great fun if you can join us, please stop by to say hello! All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card today, certainly a winner for the sports fan's in our lives.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see you again yesterday at Ally Pally, and the samples on display well they were out of this world, I got some of the new Luna paste and Lisa's stencil so when I got home I did 4 of them, oh wow, they really are amazing and the sparkle from them is amazing.
Hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue lovely card certainly a great opportunity e for the men in our lives & all the sports fans
ReplyDeleteGreat card for all sports fans. Can so easily be made more personal by changing the colours to the person's team colours.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lovely card.
One day I will get to Ally Pally, I wish they would do a coach trip.
Have fun and take care Kitty.
Good morning Sue

Good Morning Sue and all
ReplyDeleteFantastic card this morning and a really great idea on how you have snipped away at the frame, perfect for a football fan. hope you and the team are having fun at Ally Pally and anyone who is going.
Crafty hugs to all Wendy
I can just imagine all the sore feet today and yesterday. I hope you scoop up all the Creative Expressions product by the end of the day today.
ReplyDeleteDid we, by having that Industrial Chic Christmas release, preclude the September release?
I’m so glad the young men, even the old ones, have a non-swirly, non floral, non-girly card they can enjoy without having to keep a pinkie in the air.
Best to all!
Donita
Morning Sue. Firstly I hope you had a great day at AP yesterday meeting those that adore you and your inspiration, sorry to read June's post that you were under the weather and feeling somewhat better today.
ReplyDeleteCertainly a great sample for the sports enthusiast and yet again it's a die that's been on the 'NEED' list since launch.
I can just imagin how amazing your stand looks full of the stunning samples some of us can only see here but I bet it's lit up with all the gorgeous CS products that add extra sparkle to your work added to that the lightning from the building - WOW what a wonderful way to spend a day, so I hope you have another wonderful day meeting your daily genuine Particraft supporters then have a little R&R with your fav pizza, large glass of vino before your day starts all over tomorrow xxx
Great men's/boy's card today. Debra x

But you do make it easier for us.And a lovely example of what can be done with your wonderful dies and inspiration Glad everyone had a great day at Ally. Yesterday ..... and hope you are feeling better. Just to remark on Donitas post about the September die release.... will there be one in the near future or was the mini Christmas industrial chic instead of. Thankyou Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Brilliant card today, it’s great.

Morning Sue, great card for the men and boys in the family who are all football fans! Sorry to read that you were not feeling great yesterday, do hope you are better today. I have missed the last few shows but hope to get there again in April. It was easy when I lived in Cambridge, just jumped on the train, but since moving down to Wiltshire the train takes too long and is expensive so my daughter sometimes drives me there but she is busy this weekend. Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteA great card .
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card for sports fans male or female.
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx

Hello Sue, I'm afraid Ally pally not possible for me but hope you , the team and all who do manage to visit enjoy the day. I also hope you're feeling better today. Your card today really fits the bill for quite a few male cards.xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Sue x xhazel
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Great card. love Jean Z xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteA perfect card and die for any sports fan.
Hope you are feeling much better today.
One day I hope to make it to Ally Pally and like Kitty I wish there was a coach trip.
Although I live on the south coast the journey by train is at least two trains and the underground - sometimes three trains.

Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteLove this die set and have used it for my grandson with great success. Using parts of it really works.
Hope Ally Pally goes well today for you and everyone lucky enough to be going there.

Hi Sue. What a great card for the boys, not too fussy and, as you say, can easily be changed to adopt the colours of their preferred team. Have a great day at Ally Pally.

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA fantastic card today with your footballer. Ideal for men's cards as well as teenagers. Yvonne xx
Brilliant card for the sports people and have I got quiet a few in my life sue thank you sue this one is a must have for me
ReplyDeleteLove always June Horrocks xxxxxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, hoping you have had a great time at Ally Pally (or indeed still having it).
This is a great card for males and with a couple of flowers it would fit the female athletics, too. Sadly, I'm all for butterfly and flowers with a few pearls thrown in .
Hugs

Hi Sue, a great card. Ideal for any football fan whatever age.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, this is a 'must buy'die for time male members in our family. The football fanatics will each get a card done in their team colours next year. However, one or two of them may need a commiseration sentiment to go with their particular team.
ReplyDeleteGreat card though. Enjoy your time at AP. Whisky,honey, lemon and a drop of hot water is better than wine if you're feeling under the weather. I can't say that it makes a good medicine, but sure as eggscare eggs, after a couple, you won't care. lol Hugs Pauline xx
Hi Sue, perfect card for any fan, must get the die
ReplyDeleteWendy xx
Hi Sue, a perfect card for the football fanatics among us, not me though. I know there are other sports covered by this die but I don't think I would get full use of it as we are not a particularly sporty family apart from Test cricket that is.
ReplyDeleteDonita & Ann - I believe Sue's October collection is due to be released very soon.
Frances
Lovely card for that sporty person :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I really like making feminine cards or grunge. To have a standby sporty type card would be great for those difficult masculine cards. Xxx
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant man card you have done it so so well I love your colour combo
Maybe that’s because I love blue.
Hope that you are having a wonderful show I might just have to visit next year
Take care.

Brilliant card for Sports fans. Unfortunately only my grandson would appreciate it. Couldn’t send him the same card twice. Hope everyone is enjoying Ally Pally.. could have gone after all as intended visit to see new GtGranddaughter was cancelled at the very last minute.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteGreat card for those difficult male cards. Yesterday’s card was gorgeous. Sorry I didn’t comment. I went to Ally Pally yesterday. Had a great time. I hope you are feeling a little better today Sue. You still looked as wonderful as ever and kept everyone enthralled with your demos.
It was lovely to bump into Brenda again, and she very kindly invited to meet up with her and Maria at lunchtime if I wanted to. I did and we had a very nice chat over our lunch. Thank you. Brenda and I shared the same courtesy bus back to the stations, but I was upstairs and only knew this when Brenda called my name as I was getting off. Made me smile before my long journey home. Thank you.
To all those who are there today, have a great time! Hope you enjoy it too Sue.
Love Helen xxx
